    Or did Hamlet just think his uncle and mom killed his dad because he was a crazy guy who talked to “ghosts.”

      It can legitimately be argued either way, which I think is fun. Obviously the play is from the point of view of Hamlet, so we’re expected to roll with the assumption that he’s really really speaking with ghosts. But it could just as easily be stress induced delusions.
