Explanation:

From Hamlet's lines "I doubt some foul play... foul deeds will rise, Though all the earth o'erwhelm them, to men’s eyes", he implies the ghost's appearance is linked to uncovering evil actions. Other options: the ghost isn't a figment (Hamlet believes it's real), there's no indication it means he'll be king, and he wants the night to come so the ghost appears (so it won't be too afraid to show up).

Answer:

The ghost will reveal someone's evil deeds.
