Slowly Going Crazy!

Here ye! Here ye!
Oh behold,twas quite the troublesome scene this past fortnight at the castle of Queen Gertrude and King Claudius. That led to their son Prince Hamlet of Denmark to a very displeasing case of madness 

 It came to our attention from a very reliable source whom is privy to the goings on in the castle, that the murdered father of Prince Hamlet and previous King has been making ghostly visits in the wee hours at the castle.
The source whom shall remain nameless explained that a fortnight ago while he was on watch at the castle he could hear bells start to toil. Looking at the other guardsman who continued to sleep, I wondered if it was just my ears ringing he said. I started to walk down the corridor and there he was. I asked " Who’s there?”
King Hamlet said a voice , but he was dead so that meant it surely was a ghost!
Seeing that he was visibly shaken, I gave him a few minutes to compose himself. And then asked him what happened next. The source explained further that he shouted out again "Who there thee?" The ghost didn't reply, he just faded away.
I was not in the drink, I know what I saw. I had to tell someone!
You understand don't you?
He looked at me like he was questioning his own sanity. Prompting him to go further, he relived the events that followed there after.
I woke the sleeping guardsman and told him what happened. Of course he didn't believe me but did promise he would stay awake the next night to see if "he", "it" would come back. We were not to utter a word to anybody until we knew for sure. We waited the next night for the king to make his appearance, he came after to what seem like a eternity. Standing there with our knees knocking the ghost King beckoned us forward. The ghost then told us he wanted to see Prince Hamlet. We were to hasten! Bumping into each other like utter fools we ran to get the Prince. After a hurried explanation that his father was a ghost form and was in desperate need to talk to him. Hamlet didn't seem surprised. In-fact his mind kept going over a scenario that his uncle murdered him. Killed him? Yes the source said. So that way he could marry Hamlets mother and take over reign of the castle. That was Hamlets thoughts, not mine. Anyways we hurried to meet this ghost, afraid he had all ready left. Hamlet was the first to see the ghost. The guardsman and I stood back as Hamlet fell to his knees and wept. Father he said " is it true?, Do my eyes fail me?"
No son it is I, your father. You need to look at me. Revenge son. Claudius needs to feel the sword until his death. I need revenge and you are the person to do it. 
I looked at the source and said. "you heard the ghost say this?" Well no, Hamlet told us that was his fathers wishes. We didn't hear the ghost speak. It was only Hamlet speaking. Was there really a ghost? I asked the source. Yes there was a ghost but he didn't speak since asking us to get Hamlet. Hamlet just sat on the floor rocking back and forth after the ghost left. We asked him if we could help him up. He just sat there saying "Heaven tells me one thing but Hell has more power"
What did you do next? 
Well we went and got his mother who then in turn called for me to get a Doctor. 
Prince Hamlet has been confined to his bed ever since. From what I hear he keeps making faces, muttering evil thoughts. We are at a loss in what to do.
Well there you have it, hopefully Prince Hamlet will recover to a more pleasant disposition. And to the source thank you! You're welcome.
