Anatomically correct ghouls

While researching ghouls, I came across two varieties:

The traditional ghoul: a grotesque humanoid commonly featured in fantasy settings that may or may not be undead https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/runescape2/images/f/f0/Ghoul_concept_art.png/revision/latest?cb=20160426225100

The Pickman ghoul: Featured in H.P. Lovecraft's story, "Pickman's Model", these ghouls are described as having an almost canine appearance, walking on hind legs and having rubbery skin.

Both share the common traits of being mainly nocturnal, and feeding on the dead (mostly what they can dig up from graveyards). Could either creatures evolve naturally, or maybe both?"
