As the director, I might have the ghost appear behind a screen and backlit so that the audience only sees the shadow of the actor who is playing the ghost. Of course the ghost should be dressed for battle in such a way that the armor and weapons will be visible to the audience through the shadow screen. The voice of course would be that of the actor who played Julius Caesar.
This does two things for the audience. It does not answer the question as to whether the ghost is real or a figment of Brutus's worried mind.
The Ghost may truly be the disembodied spirit of Ceasar. But, I think more likely that Shakespeare is using the Ghost to represent Brutus's disturbed mental state.
