At one point Disney acquired the movie rights to "Myths of Miami" for Clive Barker who was going to make a "Bloody Mary" movie out it similar to his "Candyman" movies, so presumably it is a work of fiction. But like how "Candyman" highlighted the real horrors of housing projects in addition to the supernatural elements, the movie presumably would have highlighted the real problem of homeless children.
