Nowhere in the Shakespearean play did Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] see his father's ghost. To have had the ghost of Macbeth's father appear would have changed the play's nature and impact. According to the historical record, Findlaech mac Ruaidri, Macbeth's father, may have been killed by Gille Coemgain [d. 1032], who was the first husband of Gruoch ingen Boite [b. c. 1015], Macbeth's Lady.
However, another Shakespeare character, Hamlet,does see (or appear to see) his father's ghost in the play that bears his name.
