I know you are a skeptic from your posts but you seem very adamant about your statement. However, if you think your statement will rile the knowers up into a frothy mess, think twice. No amount of words from the skeptics will erase the sounds, sights and smells. But the only way that some of us found the hairy people was to actually get up from the couch.
We know, and don't need verification at this point. Find a trusted friend (always better when there is more than one witness) and take a trip to the woods. Try to not act like a hunter just a visitor. They might even serenade you or you might get a blast of perfume, who knows? I was a skeptic and thought exactly like you many years ago.
Good luck!
