I've heard reports of odd things in Iraq, a passenger in a car with tapetum, the driver nearly too terrified to talk to the GIs at the checkpoint, a huge 'man' in a no-go zone carrying a cow, and literally walking away from a .50 cal hit, and a few other such stories.

Are they true? Beats me, but the reports are there.

And there is no shortage of reports of non-human entities in the Bible, and other cultures' holly books as well. Do you doubt the Bible? (This agnostic asks...)

There are scores of giants in Native American lore. Are they all lying? What about the giant skeletons found in the Lovelock caves in Nevada? (Two rows of teeth, is that human?)

Every culture has demons. It seems either we as a species met genuine evil big creatures, or something in our DNA makes every culture imagine it. What survival benefit would this have as a fantasy to preserve in in our shared genome?

Are you absolutely certain it's nonsense?

An earlier generation was absolutely certain that the reports of the inferior people in Africa of a giant ape was nothing more than the deluded tribal fantasies of primitive near sub-human superstitious ignorant savages.

Then 'credible' Europeans saw gorillas and brought back remains...
