I'm not entirely sure which specific 'Fableman real story' you are referring to. There could be many stories or events related to someone named Fableman. It could be a personal family story, a local legend, or something else entirely.
Since I don't know the exact 'Fableman real story', I can't say for sure who the main characters are. But if it's a family - centered story, it could be the Fableman family members like parents, children, etc.
Yes, '1408' is based on a true story. The story was inspired by a Stephen King short story of the same name. It's about a man who stays in a supposedly haunted hotel room, Room 1408, and experiences terrifying and inexplicable events.
Well, it's a bit of a mix. While it may be inspired by some true elements from 1899 such as the general state of the world, sea travel, and social hierarchies at that time, it also has a lot of fictional elements added for the sake of drama and mystery. For example, the overarching mystery plot might be a creative take on some historical uncertainties, but not directly based on a single true story.
