There is also good reason for the ghost not to want the guards to know what he tells Hamlet, because the play could not proceed as it does if the guards heard what the ghost told Hamlet. It is the ghost of Hamlet's father who tells him, "but howsomever thou pursues this act, / Taint not thy mind. (Act 1, Scene 5, 84-5)" Later, when Hamlet sees the ghost again in his mothers room, her amazement at his madness is very convincing.

Her waggon spokes made of long spinners legs,
The cover of the wings of grasshoppers;
Her traces of the smallest spiders web;
Her collars of the moonshine's watery beams;
Her whip of cricket's bone; the lash of film;
Her waggoner a small grey-coated gnat,
Not half so big as a round little worm
Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid:
Her chariot is an empty hazle-nut
Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub,
Time out o' the fairies' coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers brainsand then they dream of love;
O'er the courtier's knees. .....
