Would a giant count as a monstrous wildlife thing or "Other"? I want to list an example from Tinga Tinga Tales.

I've just added an example, but now I'm wondering whether it might fit better under Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. I put it here instead due to the fact that even though everyone pretends it was mundane, it's a plot point that they're all kidding themselves. What do you guys think?
- At the end of the "Big Haunted Battleship" storyline of Schlock Mercenary, it's pointed out by several characters that the "rational" explanation of the ghostly voices on the PDCL is so contrived that it's more rational just to accept it was haunted. This isn't a throwaway gag, either; Petey's inability either to accept or to deny the existence of ghosts is responsible for both his introduction and the PDCL's eventual destruction.

Would the (cinema) ending of 1408 qualify? The one with the tape recorder.
None of these "examples" actually address how they fit the trope, which is more than just 'somebody encounters a ghost'.
