Talk to Father Aereck, found in the Lumbridge chapel just east of Bob's Brilliant Axes. Tell him you are looking for a quest, and he will ask you to get rid of a ghost haunting the graveyard. He suggests you start by talking to Father Urhney, an expert on ghosts.

Go south of the castle, and into the Lumbridge Swamp. Head west through the swamp until you come upon a small house by the coast and talk to the irate Father Urhney inside. After you mention Father Aereck's request, he gives you an amulet of ghostspeak, which allows you to communicate with the ghost. It is highly recommended to keep the amulet for future quests. Once you have the amulet in your inventory, teleport or run back to Lumbridge, and make your way to the graveyard located beside the chapel.

In a small building in the south-east corner of the graveyard is a marble coffin. Wearing your amulet of ghostspeak, search the coffin, and a ghost will dramatically emerge. Talk to him, and he tells you he is missing his skull. A warlock from the Wizards' Tower stole it, and he wants it back. Head to the Wizards' Tower located on an island south of Draynor Village, and climb down the ladder in the room directly next to the entrance. Across the room, you will find an altar, which you will need to search to obtain the ghost's skull. A skeleton will appear and attack you. You do not need to fight the skeleton and can simply leave the room. Make sure you have the skull in your inventory.

Run or teleport back to Lumbridge to speak with the restless ghost. He wants you to put the skull in his coffin. Use the skull on the coffin, and you will see the ghost's spirit disappear into the river.
