Was the fake Witch’s Ghost in Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost meant to be Sarah Ravencroft?

Question

Since it was based on the story of Sarah Ravencroft.

Answer 1

The conversation in the film is slightly different in the tie-in storybook, but the sentiment seems to be same, e.g. that the ghost was absolutely supposed to be her.

"We found Sarah’s gravestone when we built our Puritan Village" the mayor went on.
"We remembered how she'd been accused of witchcraft. So we used her as our ghost. But we didn't find that journal."

Note that there are images of Sarah around town, including a portrait. The puritan hat is, however, pure fiction.
