My grandpa never believed in anything he couldn't see. He swore he once encountered an escaped gorilla in the woods that beat his chest and howled at him and his brother from the other side of a big gully.
Another old man who lived within a few miles claimed a big black bear walked up on 2 legs, grabbed a 300 lb. hog he had and ran off with it under one arm, staying upright on 2 legs all the while. He saw it happen right at dark.
