Ghost
One day Annie Soralli came quickly to the dressing-room with white afraid face. And she was shouting for her friends to close the door, because she saw a ghost in the passage, also she saw his face. Everybody get shocked and immediately they close the door. But, a tall girl said that there is no ghost and it is only a shadow on the wall. Another girl said that Joseph Buget saw him last week, he was a tall wearing a black evening coat, has a head of a dead man without nose, only a holes. However, Magy said don’t talk about him and one-day joseph will regret about his actions. The girls asked Magy for more explanation. Magy said that her mother knows about the ghost and the ghost don’t like the people who talk about him. The girls asked Magy form where your mother knows this information. Magy responded and said that her mother was talking to the ghost without seeing him in opera house, where the Box 5 was for the ghost, and he every day leaves some followers for her mother in Box 5. Magy again she said to the girls don’t talk about him, because he might be angry. From that time girls were speaking quietly about the ghost. After the performance, the girls went back to the dressing-room. A fat women with a white face enter the room quickly, to tell the girls about the death of Joseph in 4th floor with a rope around his neck.

So, there are a lot of minor grammatical issues here with word order for adjectives/adverbs/modifiers. For example, in the first sentence, “came quickly to the dressing-room” should be “came into the dressing-room quickly). You have a number of comma splice (using a comma between two independent clauses, instead of a period, colon, or semi-colon.
One day, Annie Soralli came into the dressing-room quickly, her face with in fear. [white afraid doesn’t work as an adjectival descriptor]. She was shouting for her friends to close the door, because she saw a ghost in the passage. Everybody was shocked, and they immediately closed the door. [need to change to past tense to stay consistent with the previous sentence. Also, everybody is singular -was not is; gets not get. Was is just better idiomatically than gets]. But a tall girl said that there was no ghost, that it was only a shadow on the wall. Another girl said that Joseph Buget saw him last week - he was a tall man [word missing here] wearing a black evening coat, he had the head of a dead man without a nose, only holes. However, Magy said not to talk about him, that one day Joseph would regret his actions. The girls asked Many for more explanation. Magy said that her mother knew about the ghost, and the ghost didn’t like people talking about him. The girls asked Magy how her mother knew that. Magy responded and said that her mother talked to the ghost without (being able to?) see him, in the opera house in box number 5. Every day he left some followers (unclear?) there for her mother. Many again warned the girls not to talk about him, because he might be angry. At (?) that time, the girls were speaking quietly about the ghost. After the performance, they went back to the dressing room. A fat woman (singular) with a white face entered (past tense) the room quickly to tell the girls that Joseph had died on the fourth floor, found with a rope around his neck.
