No reason to cancel - your message is correct. The Time Cruiser
sets did come with ghosts, and they had legs rather than bricks
for feet.
Raymond Flournoy posted a memorable message about this in r.t.l about
a year or two ago which is worth quoting (although I'll cancel the message
if he objects).

I just put together the Time Twisters Whirling Time Warper (6496), and the
ghost in there indeed has white legs, a difference from the previous plate and
brick.
This struck me as particularly odd because I'm Japanese-American, and in
Japanese folklore one distinctive feature of ghosts is that they have no
feet. Being used to that, I took one look at the new ghost and thought,
"That's not a ghost! It's just a guy in a sheet!"
