You're taking the whole thing too literally. It's not so much about believing that the mythical creature is real but rather having fun weather something is real or not. For instance, wearing costumes on Halloween and carving pumpkins is often said to be an attempt at scaring monsters/evil spirits away. Nowadays we all know it's not true but we still do those things because it's just fun.
