There aren't thousands of people with similar stories, that's the irony of mass delusion and private familial mythologies. There are thousands of people with one story about there being similar stories.
The setup is implausible even if there are ghosts..as individuals experience and recount completely mundane events and sequences that absolutely did happen in vastly different ways. In fact, if you were interrogating folks..and everyone gave you the same story down to the very last detail, that would be an impressive demonstration that you're dealing with a set of collaborating witnesses - not a strictly true account of an event. The storyteller has tried to sell it too hard, and in the process given their story the appearance of fiction on it's face.
