Ghost Without Legs　 (Be careful with the picture if you are timid!)

In Japan, summer is the time when people bring up stories of ghosts that make chill us down from hot the heat. A Haunted houses are built at amusement parks every summer. Young people are fond of it these, but I can’t go there [OR inside haunted houses] any longer because // it would make me freeze in horror and make my life shorter [ORreduce my lifespan]  // I would freeze in horror, and as a consequence my lifespan would be reduced.

Ghosts are supposed to have no legs in Japan // Ghosts do not typically have legs in Japan. Although its the origin of ghosts in Japanese folklore is uncertain, it was already ghosts were first illustrated in 1673 and stories of them have been passed down to the present. 

When I was a kid, ghosts are were a popular topic at school, as is usual for among school generation children. Many young students are were scared when they had to go to a [the] bathroom alone. They often said: // They could be heard saying things like:

“Ahhhhhhh! Help me! I saw a ghost in there,” as one [of them] rushed out of the bathroom.
“Really? Did she have legs?”
“No, no, I’ m not sure. I couldn’t take a straight look at her so feared because I was too scared!”
So that with legs or without legs is the confirmation if she is a ghost Whether or not she has legs is a sign that she is a ghost // The absence of legs is a sure indication that she is a ghost. Kids are believed it. 

Thus, Japanese ghosts are still drawn without legs. I hope they will have beautiful legs someday.　

うまく書かれています。私はありもせぬ欠点を見つけようとしたばかりです。ところで「timid」という言葉には「内気」の意味も含まれているが、この場合には、「fainthearted, easily scared, easily frightened」といった「内気」の意を含まない言葉でも使えます。ひどい日本語をお許し下さい : P

頑張ってね  : ]
