Detailed explanation-1: -The Ghost first appears to a duo of soldiers-Bernardo and Marcellus-and Hamlet’s friend, Horatio.
Detailed explanation-2: -Horatio is Hamlet’s best friend and advisor. Horatio never keeps anything from Hamlet. In Act one, scene one; Horatio, Bernardo, and Marcellus see the ghost of king Hamlet who was killed by his brother, Claudius. After the ghost disappears, Horatio tells Marcellus and Bernardo to reveal to Hamlet what they have seen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Other characters may see the ghost (the castle guards and Horatio, for example), but Hamlet’s the only one who has a dialogue with it. He’s also the only one who sees or hears the ghost when it shows up in Gertrude’s chamber to remind Hamlet to be nice to his mom (3.4. 126-131).
Detailed explanation-4: -Before Barnardo can say much, however, the Ghost appears, and Marcellus encourages Horatio to address the spirit. Horatio cannot deny that he, too, sees the Ghost. All three men agree that the Ghost is real; in fact, they recognize it as the “majesty of buried Denmark”-the recently dead King Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-5: -Summary and Analysis Act I: Scene 5. Back on the parapet-the outer walls of Castle Elsinore-Hamlet follows the Ghost, who admits that he is the spirit of King Hamlet and tells his son to hear him out. His time is short before he must return to Purgatory.
