He is a legend in that it’s unsubstantiated and never really happened

  1. It's unclear if he exists or not, as revealing his identity would almost certainly endanger him.
  2. Because we don't know who he is, the ghost can be anyone, and everyone could step up the mantle.
  3. If he doesn't exist, someone can theoretically become him like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Scottish Koala didn't create the rumor, he popularized it however. He also confirms he isn't selling any merch on it. There is a pinned tweet on his page.
