The same as if there were many witnesses against something that DID EXIST.

besides many, if one person witnessed it, it exists for them, if more, then it gains credibility
and whether or not the reality is that it really exists, is all in our minds,,
example: the USA is a democracy,, that is a myth,, it hasnt been demorcratic or equal for alot of our citizens, yet we believe the myth,,, so does that make it real? does democracy exist in America? well no it doesnt, but we accept that it does,,,,,,,,do we have justice, and equal protection for all here? no, as long as we allow the hitting of children, we dont,,,, so we cant say we are demorcratic nor just,, yet we still belive it , or many of us do, the illusion,

You need faith to believe in the supernatural and this belief reinforces your faith. Belief in something does not constitute existence. Example; if you went to a kindergarten and said 'how many of you believe in the tooth fairy' and all the little hands went up, does that mean the tooth fairy is real?

if there are many witnesses, maybe it does exist. unless you are a witness, i don't think you can say whether or not something exists.

You mean like Bigfoot?
It means that, sometimes, we see what we want to see.
