They seem to be pretty serious when claiming that it wasn't fake. They've admitted in the past when their sketches are faked, with absolutely no qualms about it. It seems odd that they would specifically claim that this one was definitely not fake. I don't doubt that they dramatised the footage to make it seem like it was a lot more scary than perhaps the actual events were. But that doesn't mean the events didn't happen. Anyway, judging by the responses, I can see this is a bit of a touchy subject so I'm going to take a pass on this thread from now on. No judgement on right/wrong, just going to bed ;)
