    The Ghost tells Hamlet a tale of horror. Saying that he is the spirit of Hamlet’s father, he demands that Hamlet avenge King Hamlet’s murder at the hands of Claudius. Hamlet, horrified, vows to “remember” and swears his friends to secrecy about what they have seen. Enter Ghost and Hamlet. HAMLET Whither wilt thou lead me? Speak. I’ll go no further.
    The ghost of Hamlet's father is a character from William Shakespeare 's play Hamlet. In the stage directions, he is referred to as " Ghost ". His name is also Hamlet, and he is referred to as King Hamlet to distinguish him from the Prince, his son and the protagonist of the story.
    The Ghost arrives shortly after midnight in at least two of the scenes, and in the other scenes, all that is known is that it is night. The Ghost first appears to two soldiers—Bernardo and Marcellus—and Hamlet's friend, Horatio. The men draw their swords and stand in fear, requesting that Horatio, as a scholar, address the Ghost.
    If it is the King, they take the appearance of the Ghost as a sign that the former King’s soul is in a state of unrest. When the Ghost does appear on stage, he is fully armed and armored, which Hamlet interprets as a further sign that his father’s soul is prepared to do battle.
