In mythology the Wild Hunt are yes hunters of spirits, but mainly wondering spirits. Those that cannot leave the earthly plane of existence.

Also the Wild Hunt was associated with catastrophes wherenever they were seen. Also being aware of the Wild Hunt made anyone a target. Usually if a living person saw the Wild Hunt in action he or she could be forced to join the Hunt. It was either that or die.

Here's some info about the Wild Hunt (Ghost Riders):

''In the body of lore surrounding the Wild Hunt, we find a number of themes that connect it powerfully with death-and-the-afterlife and the underworld. For one thing, there’s the ghostly character of the hunters or warriors themselves. Dogs and horses, animals that were closely associated with death (amongst a great many other things), were almost invariably present. In some accounts of the Hunt, the riders can hardly, if at all, be distinguished from land spirits, who were themselves often conflated with the dead, as if the two were thought of as being in some sense one and the same. Finally, for the ancient Germanic peoples, the worlds of the living and the dead were especially permeable during midwinter, which goes a long way toward explaining why this troop of apparitions haunted the land during that particular part of the year. In the words of Claude Lecouteux, “The Wild Hunt fell into the vast complex of ancestor worship, the cult of the dead, who are the go-betweens between men and the gods.”'' You may not have noticed but Teen Wolf doesn't always follow real-word mythology. You can't say thats not how it works when the mythology hasn't even been established yet. Just look at every supernatural creature that has been introduced, none of them strictly follow the actual lore that the creatures are based off. Teen Wolf often twist the mythology to fit the story.
