1) Education. I, for one, like to tell people why something is likely not to be genuine, and what to look for to conclude that one is, or may be. And I like to weigh in on the likelihood of our getting anywhere poring over video (small).

2) Lack of acquaintance with the evidence. Almost none of these look or sound anything like what witnesses whose experiences appear genuine say they saw and felt.

3) Need to show expertise (aka cynicism). “FAKE.” End of post.

As to your last sentence: no one seems to have any idea how hard it is to get a good photo – much less video – of a wild animal. Suffice it to say that if the animal isn’t accustomed to people, it’ll be gone before you can focus. Patterson got his film – which if I had to bet I’d bet was genuine – after weeks of searching on horseback, in areas of recent sightings and track finds, with a camera at the ready, in a saddleside holster, that he prepared so thoroughly to use that he got the shot after being thrown from his horse.

(No guys, your camera shake don’t cut it. Stop that.)

Unless somebody puts in both the time and the prep, says here, it will be the sheerest of luck to get anything legit. Might as well try to save the world by winning the lottery.

In the picture on top it looks a little like gloves. Also, when it turns and steps down you could see a separation between the hair of head and shoulders, maybe a mask?
The guy with the white shirt just seems to be looking around, they said there were 6? of them on the trip.

quoting inbetween

“above the hut and to the right for a part of a second you can see someone spraying a hose”

It’s not a garden hose it’s smoke being exhaled by the guy in the white shirt.

The hut, looks like some of the branches were saw cut, but cant be sure because of video quality.

Some flags raised but might be answered with better video. On the fence with this one but leaning towards hoax.
