There's a song I really like called Bigfoot!, by The Weakerthans. It's a song about a man named Bobby Clark who claimed to see Bigfoot in northern Manitoba, and he would take news crews and the like out into the woods to talk about his encounter and to look for it. The issue being that a lot of these news crews were from current affair-type shows who were trying to make a buck by laughing at him and broadcasting it as a big joke.

There's a live recording of the song where the songwriter, John K. Samson, relays all of this information. And he sums it all up in a really beautiful way - he feels sympathy for Bobby Clark because he was wronged by the media for believing in something so outlandish, when he was just a man who was frightened by what he saw in the woods.

The live version is arguably better, but you need to skip to 1:45 for the song itself and the stripped-back guitar part works a lot better when you hear the original song first.
