The Restless Ghost

Walkthrough
Father Aereck will tell you that a ghost is haunting the graveyard located near the Lumbridge chapel. He wants you to help him remove it. He requests that you speak to Father Urhney, who is located in the swamps behind Lumbridge Castle, and get some information from him on ghosts.

Go behind the castle and then keep going west in the swamps. You'll soon come upon a small house. Go inside and talk to Father Urhney. He will give you an Amulet of Ghostspeak. Now go back to the graveyard in Lumbridge.(Do not go directly to the Wizard's Tower. The skull you are looking for will not be able to be picked up until you go talk to the ghost)

Go into the small house with a coffin located in the Lumbridge graveyard. Open the coffin if it is not opened already, wear your Amulet of Ghostspeak and talk to the Restless ghost wandering around. He will tell you he is missing his skull and wants you to get it for him.

Head to the Wizards' Tower and go down the ladder into the basement. Search the altar and a skeleton will appear and attack you. Kill it or run away, and make sure you have the Ghost's skull

in your inventory. Then return to the graveyard.

Use the Ghost's skull with the open coffin and a cutscene will show him thanking you, then flying across the River Lum. When the cutscene ends, you will have finished the quest. If you have another skull, such as a Draynor skull, don't get them mixed up and dispose of the incorrect skull.

Trivia

 * The Restless Ghost was one of the 6 quests available during RuneScape's launch.
 * This quest is useful for new players, as the Prayer XP gained allows the level to rise from 1 to 9 (or from 7 to 13).
 * In RuneScape Classic, it was possible to summon skeletons by dropping the skull and picking it up again. Some players used this method to kill low level macro users.
 * If another player searches the altar while you are in combat with the skeleton, it will disappear as another one rises from the corner to attack the other player.
 * The ghost still speaks in coherent words, regardless of whether you are wearing the Ghostspeak amulet or not, during the end cutscene.
 * This quest used to give 1,125 Prayer XP, it was changed on December 15, 2009 along with several other beginner quests to the current rewards. Mod Srowley claimed on the forums that the idea was to get new players into the habit of burying bones for Prayer experience. Players who had already completed the quest would be reminded in their quest journals that they can return to Father Aereck to receive the additional reward.
