I'm sure they exist in some form or another, maybe in a state similar to Hanyuu's.
Well the problem is, how do you prove that it's committed by men. until you do that, there's still the claim from Beatrice that it's all done by a witch. According to Ryukishi07's production diary, that is what Umineko has changed to since Ep3: like a court case where the two sides tries to establish their claims. As for hallucinations...remember the premise of Higurashi? The catch phase in the beginning was "Is it men? Or a curse?", and the answer was "neither. It was a disease." So I wouldn't rule out anything just yet...knowing Ryukishi07's writing style in Higurashi...
