He threatens them. "I'll make a ghost of him that lets me." (this is, by the way, an unusual twist of the word "lets"--instead of the expected meaning "permits" it means the opposite: "prevents")

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.

Why does the Queen fail to see the ghost in the closet scene?
The Ghost may have been real but had only intended to show himself to Hamlet, as his message of revenge was for Hamlet only. In Act One he appeared to others but only spoke to Hamlet. Another interpretation is that the Ghost (at least in the Closet Scene) is not real, but only a product of Hamlet's mind. Similar issues arise around another Shakespearean ghost, the ghost of Banquo in Macbeth, who can only be seen by Macbeth.
