I'm going to go on a little bit of a rant here because this drives me up the wall. The comment I get most often on every one of these videos is "How could you know what happened if you weren't there?" or "How can they know what happened if no one ever saw or talked to so and so again?" Well first of all, the accounts that I do these videos about, unless otherwise stated, come from reputable news sources. I don't make it up. How do THEY know what happened? The same way a forensic investigator can piece together a murder despite no one witnessing it. Evidence! There's always evidence left behind that paints a picture of what likely happened. Take the Peter Reimers story for example. He never showed back up to camp so his mates went looking for him. At the scene they found his shirt neatly folded and placed by a tree. His watch had been removed and laid there as well. They found his boot prints headed to the creek bank, then found what appeared to be prints of him running from the bank and signs of a struggle. Then of course his remains strewn around the area and inside this massive crocodile. What do those things suggest? That he likely had setup on that tree to hunt, he got hot so he took off his shirt and decided to cool off by the creek where he was ambushed by the croc 🤷♂️ Now, to be fair, I'll use certain elements to immerse the viewer in the story such as adding little details like the forest going quiet (which we know happens often when a big predator is present) or the victim got a strange feeling as though being watched (which is another matter... that's not speaking for the dead. It's describing an involuntary physical response to outside stimuli, just as stating someone would be sweating if we know it was 100º outside.) It's hard for me to grasp how people don't understand the concept of evidence. And it's not just a handful of people... it's a LOT! We'll never know the exact series of events regarding one of these attacks without eyewitnesses, but it isn't impossible to paint a fairly clear picture of what happened when you have the evidence left at the scene.
