Reading through various editions of Romeo & Juliet, it seems he does not appear, but a ghost character named 'Horatio', presumably a Montague, appears at the beginning of Act I, Scene IV, at least in one edition I studied in school.

He is discussed at [[1]]. Is there any other evidence that can be found of his existence, and if so, is it worth adding him to the article? Pookiyama (talk) 18:56, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've actually started an article on her at my sandbox. Although there is one scene where she enters, exits, and says nothing, She plays a very large role in the play, so I wouldn't call her a ghost. It's Volumnia, too, by the way. Wrad 02:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Volumna is Coriolanus' mother. Not his wife. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.167.250.78 (talk) 22:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Other plays of the period include ghost characters, such as John Webster's The White Devil, in which "little Jacques the Moor", "Christophero", "Guid-antonio", and "Farneseis" are mentioned entering, but have no lines." reference: David Gunby et al.
