The Ghost wears something different in every production. At least in the first scene, the text suggests that he should be wearing a suit of armour because of Horatio's description of the ghost to Hamlet, that he was armed "from cap a pe", which means from head to foot, and that he wore his beaver (his visor) up. Notwithstanding this, a number of productions do not have the ghost accoutred in this manner, either because suits of armour are expensive and hard to get, or they are clumsy and make it hard for the actor to act, or they don't match the period the director has chosen or any combination of the above.

Who reveals that Claudius is the villain in Hamlet?
The Ghost. But Hamlet had already cast Claudius in this role, as can be seen in his line "O my prophetic soul! Mine uncle!". Although Claudius is certainly a murderer, and a wrongdoer, he is much more sympathetic when we do not look at him through Hamlet or his father's eyes.
How does Hamlet plan to catch the conscience of the king?
This line is from Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2. Prince Hamlet has been told by the ghost of his father, King Hamlet, that Prince Hamlet's uncle, King Claudius, murdered his own brother, King Hamlet. Claudius then married the dead King Hamlet's wife and Prince Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude. Since Hamlet does not know if the ghost is truly his father and telling the truth, he devises a plan that he believes will prove if what the ghost has said is true. Actors have come to perform at Elsinore Castle for King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. Hamlet asks them to use his altered version of the play, in order to "catch the conscience of the King." The alteration tells the story of a Queen whose husband is murdered by poison. The poisoner then woos the Queen with gifts. Though she rejects him for awhile, in the end she accepts his love. Hamlet plans to watch Claudius' reaction to the altered portion of the play, and discern from that response if Claudius is guilty. His fear of King Claudius' power, and his desire to shame his mother, Queen Gertrude, is the reason for Hamlet's indirect method of accusing the King. If Hamlet's plan doesn't work, he will still be free to pursue other possibilities.
How can ghost in Hamlet be explained as foreshadowing evil?
The way that you look at the ghost can be derived by the way he is portrayed by actor and show concept. If he comes across as the evil father coming back for no more than revenge then you could sa he is evil. But if he is taken in stead as a caring and or weak man who has come back to warn his son then he is good. It all depends on the outlook of the audience member really. Kind of like the witches in Macbeth he sets the play in motion, but is it for his own benefit or the benefit of Hamlet?
Does hamlet show remorse for killing polonius?
Oh, yes. Hamlet tortures him constantly and gratuitously. "Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?" Hamlet is just doing that to make Polonius look like a fool.
Is the climax of Hamlet is generally considered to occur when Hamlet does not take the opportunity to kill the praying Claudius?
No I was not. According to the text, killing someone while they are free of sin(like while praying) will allow them to skip purgatory and go straight to heaven. Hamlet Senior (the ghost) did not have this chance to pray before being killed. Because of this, he is stuck in purgatory. Hamlet wants Claudius to have the same result has Hamlet Senior had. The ironic thing about this scene is that after Hamlet leaves, Claudius says that he unable to truly confess his sins; therefore, if Hamlet would have killed him, Claudius still would have gone to purgatory.
