I have poured over the little lore that there is of ghouls and I too have read into "fallen angels" being a plausible reasoning for why ghouls exist and honestly, it doesn't seem to fit. I get that in the past few thousand years that may be what human ancestors thought up as a conclusion, but in my experience it simply does not fit. I have seen both angels and demons and ghouls seem like neither. If anything from what I have read up on, they seem to be crafted servants utilized to protect tombs in Kuwait and Afghanistan.
They later were imported to other parts of the world as protectors of tombs and manors and other places. What is better than a servant you don't have to feed and that cannot be killed? Since those times, they just wander the hillsides looking for small game and stupid humans that get close enough to them to get grabbed. If you want a video game reference other than EverQuest, I would look at ReDeads in Zelda. They are the exact same type of creature..except in Zelda they are slow until they get close to you. In reality they run fast enough to nearly dodge bullets and if you're stupid enough to shoot one, it'll just make it angry.
