What has been asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
I've always thought that believing things without evidence opened the door to believe any number of silly things, but some people seem to think differently.

If it's been claimed to have happened many people and you can find videos or articles with many people explaining the phenomenon and the time/place etc that it happened in. Even if it sounds "silly" it's now become somewhat or highly likely to be true because of the repetition. All of that is enough evidence to believe that it's true. If logic can't disprove it then consider that it's true. It's ok to dismiss it if there's 0 evidence. Side: True

well yeah, but don't dismiss the idea as false if there's a chance it could be true. When nothing can disprove it and there isn't something "solid" to prove it, but there is evidence there the idea stays in the "it's a possibility area". It's incorrect to say something is false just because you lack certain evidence. If it's not true that the idea is false then it isn't false, but it isn't truth either. Just a possibility....
