The ghost tells Hamlet the secret of his father's death. Hamlet's father was not killed by a serpent, but was murdered with poison. He also told hamlet that it was his uncle who murdered his father, and that he also seduced Gertrude, his mother. The ghost then tells Hamlet to avenge his father's death but to leave his mother alone.

The Ghost of King Hamlet tells Hamlet that he is suffering in purgatory due to his sins not being absolved before his death. He also tells him that his death was not an accident and that he was murdered by his brother, the current king, Claudius.

Old King Hamlet tells Prince Hamlet that he must seek revenge on Claudius but that Gertrude, the Queen, is not to be harmed; God will be the one to deal with her.

The ghost tells Hamlet to lay off his mother and get on with the revenge against Claudius. This echoes his command in Act 1 "nor let thy soul contrive against thy mother aught." Some productions imply that the ghost is not real in this appearance, but only a figment of Hamlet's overwrought mind, as everybody could see the ghost at the beginning of the play.

Nothing. The ghost only talks to Hamlet. Horatio tries to engage it in conversation but without success.
