No, I have never seen any proof.  I think it may all be engineering urban
legends.
Of course, Thomas Edison did electrocute an Elephant (and I did see video of
it) to try demonstrating how dangerous
alternating (AC) electricity was.  Could you imagine if ole Tom Edison tried
a stunt like that today ????
