Wes Craven himself mentions that on the box set bonus features.

simple, some dude he was scared from when he was a kid, some homeless dude who looked once at him stared, then walked away and wes thought he was comming for him

the nightmare issue is out of the paper, from real storys, not freddy related though:o

Yep. Both of these things happened. It encouraged Wes to make the damn movie. I wonder if the real Freddy Krueger is still alive?
