Looked pretty real to me, the woman wanted no publicity. She had some strange happenings in her back yard and decided to put out a game camera, she was disturbed by what turned up on the camera. No motive for a hoax, the photos were not perfect but the context of the situation seemed pretty legit.

Look up www.watcherstv.com it's a paranormal series based on answering some of these mysteries with modern science, its too revealing for regular tv. A regular network would never put it on. I have only watched a couple of the recent ones, but they were pretty good, it deals with some private DNA studies.
