Yeah iirc originally all ghouls were straight from the great war. But then it becomes kinda murky. I think most are supposed to be from the great war but there are some that appear to possibly exist due to slow radiation build up. I remember replaying 3 and something the ghouls said made me think they ghoulified after the war.

there are the scientists in the big MT, along with the handful of brains in jars. plus you can't ignore Lily bowen she was a little girl when the great war started and ended up in a vault, almost a century later as a old old grandmother she was dragged from the only home she had really known subject to horrible mutations by the master and turned into a nightkin.
