He'll go inside and return quickly with the fare.
Past A few minutes passes and the man didn't hasn't (come back) returned so the driver cacth down gets out of his car and knocks on the door.

Generally when describing a story like this, it is best to use the present tense.

The dead man who catches (caught) a cab
Today, I'll describe a funny video that I watched on the internet. Here in Brazil we call this "pegadinha". Itis a kind of joke with a hidden camera.The scenario: a man who was wearing a black suit was waiting for a cab in front of a cemetery.
The cab stopped and the man said the address to the driver. When the cab stopped in front of the house the man said he had forgotten the money but that's not a problem, he will get it quickly and runs up the house stairs (or "...so he ran up the stairs to his house").
A few minutes passed and the man didn't come back so the driver locked* his car and knocked at the door.
A butler opened the door and invited the driver to come in. A big photo on the wall was the first thing that the driver laid his eyes on.
The driver said to butler that he wants the pay for his job (or "wants to be paid"), because he has taken the man in his cab. The butler asked if he is sure that it was the man in the photo. The driver agreed (or "said 'yes'"). Then the butler** told him that man had passed away 3 years ago and went to hang up the phone leaving the driver alone in the room.
The driver was worried and thinking that it was unbeliveble. He looked at the photo on the wall and it fell making a lot of noise...the driver was very scared and started running away.

The cab stopped and the man gave the address to the driver. When the cab stopped in front of the house the man said he had* forgot the money but that was not a problem; he would get it fast and he ran up the stairs.
After some time the man didn't come back so the driver left his car and knocked on the door.
A butler opened the door and invited the driver in. A big photo on the wall was the first thing that the driver saw.
The driver said to the butler that he wanted the fare for his job, because he took the man in his cab. Tha butler asked if he was sure that the man was the same as that on the photo? The driver agreed. Then the majordomo said that that man had passed away 3 years ago and went to go to the phone leaving the driver alone in the room.
The driver was worried and incredulous. He looked at the photo on the wall and it fell making a lot of noise...the driver started to run away, very scared.
*English conjugates verbs always with 'have' and never with 'be'.
