Course, there's also the simpler solution that they are a compulsive liar, but you don't want to hear that

Knowing my mom, it is totally possible, but she definitely believes it. The difference between my moms and my wife's is simply that my moms stories are much more interactive with more of her senses being activated. (They all involve smells, feelings, sounds, etc.) my wife just sees basic supernatural stuff or hears it, so those are usually pretty easy to explain, though I don't do that, cause I don't wanna be a dick lol
