* ''Theatre/CrossRoad'' is about Niccolo Paganini making a DealWithTheDevil to gain his musical talent. Despite the rumors at the time, it's most likely that this never happened.

The John Titor who appeared in 2000/01 is a "historical" person even if that history is very recent, so S;G!Titor qualifies for Historical Gender Flip.

* Creator/AlanMoore's ''ComicBook/FromHell'' was based primarily on an earlier book entitled ''Jack The Ripper: The Final Solution'', which was later largely discredited. Moore, in the book's lengthy annotations, freely admits he doesn't believe a word of it, but was never one to let facts get in the way of a good story. The book used, as part of its "evidence," the long-discredited ''Literature/TheProtocolsOfTheEldersOfZion'', though mercifully taking it as anti-Masonic (the "Zion" in their interpretation being allegorical rather than literal) instead of anti-Semitic. This would be a good trick, as the "Protocols" weren't written until a decade or two after the Ripper murders, in Russia, intended for the eyes of Czar Nicholas II only, and weren't heavily publicized worldwide until well after UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. However, they were based (word-for-word in parts) on a French anti-Masonic tract.

* ''Series/CriminalMinds'' takes inspiration from real SerialKiller cases (and other high-profile crimes), many of which are often mentioned when profiling the unsub, but compared to the real cases, the ones on the show tend to have much larger body counts, a more condensed timeline, and often much more elaborate rituals and set-ups.

** The book also mentions that there's an entire genre of these, though usually created by people whose motives are no more sinister than making a quick buck. The framing device is Luke hiring an investigator to write a report on the incident only to find that he instead writes yet another holodrama script. Luke grits his teeth and insists on rewrites for accuracy, possibly resulting in the actual book the audience has just read.

* ''Literature/TheOneAndOnlyIvan'': There was a real gorilla named Ivan living in a mall, whose life paralleled the book's story in many ways - taken from the wild in infancy, RaisedInCaptivity in a human home until he became large and unruly and then confined to a small cage in a mall for over a quarter century and making drawings and paintings that were sold, then brought to live out the rest of his life in a zoo. The specific events described in the book are all fictional, to make the story from the gorilla's point of view less lonely and to give him more agency, such as SavingTheWorldThroughArt (or, well, getting publicity for doing so). Presumably the real Ivan was unable to converse with other animals too.

* ''Heaven'', the first of ''Literature/TheCasteelSeries'', was originally the autobiography of a woman who had been sold by her father. The book was rejected on the grounds that the quality wasn't suitable for publishing, but Andrews' editor (who confirmed all of this) had bought the story for Andrews to write. The original author, whose identity is still unknown, ended up contributing notes for the story. The sequels are entirely invented, however.

Trope is for when an adaptation claiming to be based on a real events is very different from what actually happened, not all instances of media based on something else.
