Suggest "incredible" and "even more incredible":

Incredulous (adj) describes a PERSON (or related mannerism of a person) who
is unwilling or unable to believe something," as in "an incredulous gasp."

Incredible (adj) describes a THING that is impossible or difficult to
believe:  "an incredible tale of triumph," or extraordinary: "the noise was
incredible."
