When I was studying English at University, a lecturer once gave us a 30 minute elaboration of her theory about the significance of the ghost in Hamlet, as a manifestation of Hamlet's inner strife. Apparently, it's a figment of his imagination. A projection of the vengeful side of his personality.

So I put my hand up "how come several other people see the ghost in the very first scene of the play, then?".

I had deducted, remarkably, that the ghost was actually an effin' ghost.

We asked our lecturer that.
She ummed and erred for a bit, and then said that "Shakespeare was a great genius, and wanted the ghost to be Hamlet's psyche, but he was writing for an uneducated audience and they wouldn't have accepted that. Or the guards were pissed. One or the other..."

It's annoying
because it's an equally brilliant piece of work if you accept that the ghost is a ghost.
