Why isn't the ghost real in the story The Tragedy of Hamlet?

Do you mean, it's all a play so nothing in it is real? Because within the context of the story, the ghost is very real indeed. He is seen by a number of people including Horatio and Barnardo as well as by Hamlet. Hamlet is the only one who hears him speak, but what the ghost tells him is true, not a fiction created by Hamlet's brain. The ghost in Hamlet is as real as the ghost in any other ghost story, like A Christmas Carol, or The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

What does the ghost in Hamlet symbolize?

if you are asking this for, say, a homework assignment, then I recommend you figure it out on your own, as your teacher could find this easily.The ghost in Shakespeare's Hamlet is Hamlet's father, who is dead. In Hamlet, Hamlet's father is killed by Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet's father's ghost (the ghost) comes back to basically tell Hamlet what happened, and to tell him (more or less) to have revenge on Hamlet's uncle.
