Well, it's hard to say for sure. The story of the woman by the shore could be based on real experiences of people seeing something strange and then creating a story around it. Maybe there was a woman who did lose her husband at sea and people's superstitions led to the creation of a ghost story. But on the other hand, it could be pure fiction. There's no concrete evidence to prove that these are real events, but the fact that they've been passed down for so long makes you wonder if there's a kernel of truth in them.

Some ghost stories might be based on real events. For example, in many old houses with a history of tragedy, the stories could be inspired by the real - life misfortunes that occurred there. However, often over time, details get exaggerated or misremembered. So, while there may be a kernel of truth in some, not all are entirely based on real events.

People like to believe in the supernatural, and ghost horse stories are a way to add a touch of mystery to a place or an event. They might not be directly based on real events but could be influenced by the general atmosphere or history of a location.
