I believe I read in "Realityland" (the book - excellent behind the scenes WDW book btw) that the George story is legend rather than truth; the book goes into some detail about actual worker accidents and such.
In other words, it's true that CMs believe the story, but it's not true that a worker named George ever died at POTC.
That doesn't mean the haunting is untrue. When people don't understand things it is human nature to attempt to explain it. Thus, the story of George. If there is a supernatural presence, who knows who it really is. Studying the supernatural is not an exact science.
I will be sure to say hello to "George" next time I ride. I figure it can't be a bad thing to do.
