In the book Hamlet why doesn't Hamlet act on the ghost's informations immediately?

Hamlet doesn't act immediately because he would risk his own life by doing so. If he acted in haste and not cautiously the court would be alarmed by the murder of the knew King and suspect Hamlet. Also Hamlet needs to make sure that the ghost is telling the truth before he acts. A third reason is that killing does not come naturally to Hamlet which adds to his hesitation.

How did ghosts enter the stage at the Globe Theatre?
Not real ghosts, presumably, but stage ghosts. Ghosts appear in the following Shakespearean plays: Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Richard III. In Hamlet, the stage directions say only "Enter Ghost", which could mean that he entered through the same doors of all the other actors. Indeed in Act 1 Scene 5 he must enter through the same door as Hamlet as Hamlet is following him. The same can be said for Caesar's Ghost and the Ghosts in Richard III. They could also appear on the balcony. Using the trapdoor would have been awkward and ineffective.
