i be unaware that this be a fake . in the u they make a big deal about how it be real . but than i recognize the actor who play the boy hold the camera . he be in an old show on nickolodeon . he be not a well know actor . even though i recognize him the show still be very freaky and scar me so bad that i have trouble fall asleep that night . it be very convince that it be real . the video leave you with a lot of suspense a it would just show scene and actually leave huge gap of time make you wonder what happen especially when character start to disappear . they eventually re release it again with scene they be able to restore .
