It all goes back to evidence and has nothing to do with eye witness and he said/she said b.s. How does the general public know you saw one? You guys see a black stump or a black bear stand up and it's immediately a Squatch. Get a clear video, pic, hair sample, anything tangible and you gain credibility. A house slap, woodknock, whoop, scream, or anything else that goes bump in the night does not count as evidence!
