Banquo's ghost. That whole scene is so perfectly written with Macbeth full of confidence and grace at the start and then, by the end, when Lady Macbeth asks the guests to leave, he's a complete mess.
I understand a great deal of literary criticism has claimed that it is Macbeth's guilty conscience which makes him think he sees the bleeding form of Banquo but critics who make this claim always fail to account for the stage directions which explicitly state that Banquo's ghost enters the room and nowhere states that Macbeth `imagines' the figure. Always admired the scene because it so perfectly illustrates how we may think we've gotten away with murder but there's always, always someone who knows what we've done.
Scared the hell out of me when I saw it first performed as a kid. Best production on film is the one starring Nicole Williamson as Macbeth.
Highly recommended.
