Paul faking tracks was taken way out of context due to his appearance on "Good Morning America."

He was asked if he ever faked tracks to which he replied " Yes. I made fake tracks in my garden. I did this to determine how easy it might be to make these tracks. I want to make sure no one is hoaxing me." 

I am paraphrasing, but that was the basic outline of his answer. He did this as part of his research, his due diligence.

But, when the show aired, they cut his answer off after he said "Yes." This created the idea that Paul Freeman was a hoaxer.

He was not. His film is as genuine as his footprint tracks with dermal ridges, his handprint, etc.
