Well, yes, the stories I read are so unbelievable that it is hard to
believe it's real.  However, there are many different sources.  If a
hoax, it must be a huge-scale one.  If not, it's truely strange.  How
to check?  In this case, the mere strangeness makes me think that I
can only believe it if I have seen it with my own eyes (and all other
sensory units).  Are there precise coordinates on the globe so we can
arrange some global Conlang meeting to be among the Pirahãs? :-)
