A sudden rash of ghost sightings have swept the northern battlements of the castle over the last few nights. We interviewed two of the guardsmen who reported sighting this ghoulish apparition, Marcellus and Bernardo.
Me: "So what exactly did you see?"
Marcellus: "Twice seen of us this dreaded sight"
Me: "You mean the ghost?"
Marcellus: "Yes"
Me: "What did it look like?"
Bernardo: "Like the king that's dead"
Me: King Hamlet?!
Marcellus: "Yes, like the late king"
Me: "What did it do? Did it say anything? Did you speak with it?"
Bernardo: "Horatio charged it to speak, and it looked as if it was about to say something but the cockerel crowed, signalling dawn and the apparition vanished."
Me: "Why have you not gone to King Claudius about this?"
Bernardo: "Horatio suggested we go to Hamlet instead..."
Marcellus: "I mean it was his father, and well I would never speak poorly of our great King Claudius, but his ascension to the throne was, well...."
Me:" I see. Gentlemen thank you for your time, this is a most intriguing occurrence indeed."
Is the ghost of the dead king really roaming the battlements at night? How will Hamlet react to such a story? We will keep you informed as events unfold.
