Also depends on the nature of the claim. Richard Carrier has a whole discussion on it.
The claim, "I have a car" is quite an ordinary claim and most people wouldn't even consider contesting it. Whereas the claim, "I have a spaceship" in quite extraordinary and no one would accept it without evidence.
Compared to the spaceship....which is at least possible as we know they exist in one form or another...the claim "an angel whispered the words of god into my ear while I was sleeping in a cave" is more than an order of magnitude more unlikely than a spaceship and requires the most precise evidence to demonstrate its truthfulness.
