I agree with you basically but not specifically..
The Holy Spirit does visit with "visions".. which are not actual facts.. They are more personal and long lasting than a fact.. Because that is WHY Jesus' left the Holy Spirit with us.. As a/the paraclete(a helper, one that comes alongside to help.. a comforter)..
In a spiritual sense, they are (spiritual) facts. We all know what love is but we cannot put it in words adequately or all inclusively, we cannot give a shape, color, dimentions. Love and mercy did not come from the rocks or the clouds. It is something we don't encounter in nature, where necessity justifies everything.
