All of the resurrections in the Bible are of real people that others could see, talk with, touch and interact with -- both before and after their resurrection. For example, Paul resurrected Eutychus and Luke then wrote about it in the book of Acts. There were witnesses who could read what Luke wrote and, if it was not correct, dispute it. Eutychus had friends, family and aquaintences who knew him well, and if what Luke wrote was not true, they would have disputed it. In fact if Eutychus was not resurrected, it would have been easy to prove the claim of resurrection was false and Christianity (the religion of truth) would have been dealt a major blow to its credibility. That is something a lot of people in the first century would have liked to do, and would have done, if it was possible.
