Detailed explanation-2: -The Ghost first appears to a duo of 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. Horatio asks the Ghost to speak, and reveal its secret.

Detailed explanation-3: -Horatio decides to tell his fellow student, Prince Hamlet, about the Ghost’s appearance. Act 1, scene 2 In an audience chamber in Elsinore, Claudius, the new king of Denmark, holds court.

Detailed explanation-4: -The spirit clarified the death of King Hamlet, and caused Hamlet to perform his evil deeds.
