The ghost is not exactly in Hell; he is in Purgatory, and will eventually get to Heaven. But he is in Purgatory because he died without making confession and therefore had unforgiven sins which need to be "purged". (This is the Roman Catholic position). This will become significant later in the play when Hamlet has a chance to get revenge on Claudius, but hesitates because Claudius appears to be praying and Hamlet worries if he dies now he will not go to Purgatory like his father. (Curiously, this is NOT the Roman Catholic position, since absolution has to come from a priest in that doctrine.)
