People can just be wrong.
Magicians and conjurors fool modern people all the time. How much easier for earlier people to be deceived, even if sleight of hand wasn't intended.
And chinese whispers in a pre-global culture would quite possibly leave all kinds of oral embellishments abounding.
Don't think they were all lying, but quite possibly all mistaken.
