You can chalk that up to Herzog's unique approach to documentary filmmaking. He never pretended that his footage was anything but staged. Really, how could he have? As for the actual events concerning Treadwell and the footage he shot, yes, it did actually happen. I remember reading about it in the newspaper. I could probably hunt down an online article about it if you'd like.
