Certainly not. They were not even in Elsinore until well after Hamlet was visited by the Ghost. Then they were "sent for" by Claudius to find out what was up with Hamlet.

What does Hamlet say about human nature in scene 4?

A lot of what happens in Hamlet has to do with death, especially Hamlet's two most famous speeches. The "To be or not to be" speech wonders why, since life is so crappy, people don't just kill themselves all the time like lemmings. The "Alas poor Yorick" speech and Hamlet's ensuing conversation with Horatio ponders the fact that, no matter how vital, funny, important or powerful you are, you still end up as a dirty, stinking bunch of bones. Hamlet also thinks about the "circle of life" when he thinks about worms eating kings, and then that same worm being eaten by a fish which is eaten by a beggar. The phenomenon of worms eating dead bodies also interests him: he says that Polonius is at supper, "not where he eats, but where he is eaten." At the same time, the play talks about our spiritual life after death, especially in the revelation by the Ghost that, yes, there is a Purgatory, and it's pretty miserable, so it does make a difference if a priest gives you the sacrament of Extreme Unction or not. Hamlet's obsession with mortality may be a result of his belief that we should be able to be masters of our fate, even to the extent of mastering death. (This is why he has such a hard time accepting his father's death and his mother's quick recovery from it.) But in the end, after facing the imminent possibility of his death at the hands of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and then at the hands of the pirates, he learns to adopt a more fatalistic approach: "If it be not now, yet it will come . . . the readiness is all." Only when he does so is he able to carry out his revenge.
