Loosely based on, but not the exact story. The diary that the movie was based on was written by King. The book also mentions the university website for the team that inspected the house. However, this is not legitimate site, not .edu, and all links go to the same place.

Rose Red (also known as Stephen King's Rose Red) is a television miniseries scripted by horror novelist Stephen King. The series was first broadcast in the United States on ABC in 2002. The haunted house story involves a mansion called Rose Red being investigated by parapsychologist Dr. Joyce Reardon and a team of psychic sensitives.
Marketing of the film presented the movie as based on actual events. A tie-in novel was published that is based on King's script called The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life at Rose Red (2001) under the pseudonym Joyce Reardon, Ph.D., and claimed to be the actual diary of Ellen Rimbauer. Speculation that Stephen King or his wife Tabitha King had written the book raged until Ridley Pearson was revealed as the novel's author.
