Detailed explanation-2: -The ghost tells Hamlet that he is, in fact, the ghost of his dead father.

Shocked, Hamlet agrees and vows to avenge his father’s death.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
