There be Giants?

April 2022, Canadian TikTok creator @andykapt posted a video. The video, which went viral quickly, was the beginning of several in which Andrew Dawson investigated what he had claimed to have captured firsthand. A giant.

While first described as a person, Andrew ultimately referred to the immense figure standing on a mountain in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada as a giant. Commenters quickly also started calling it a Nephilim, which is a biblical term referring to either an actual giant humanoid or a fallen angel, depending on what denomination one subscribes to.

In the days that followed, Andrew posted more videos of his investigation that highlight the absence of the figure, a UFO, two helicopters “extracting” something from the area, military presence at the site, and discussions with locals. During a drive to an undisclosed location, he has encounter with what Andrew calls the CIA, during which is is stopped and told to turn around while attempting to get closer to the site. Later, he films a black car which had been parked around his home for several days. The car is not seen again after speeding away.

After a month and a half absence from the app, Andrew offers an “update” video claiming that all the videos had been scripted and for entertainment purposes only, however, subscribers were quick to point out that in the video, Andrew looks tense and continuously looks off camera as if someone in the room was prompting his disclaimer. In his second to last ominous short clip, he reiterates the validity of his videos in an eerily premonition-eques statement, “You might not see me post ever again. My videos weren’t, they weren’t fake.” The video was posted late May.

Less than two weeks later, on July 1st, 2022, an obituary appears in the local paper reporting on the death of father, friend, and son Andrew Dawson at the age of 34, due to unspecified causes.

None of his family or friends have come forward to speak on any of the theories surrounding his tragic passing, and thus far, the mystery remains intact.

Shaina and I have our doubts. Ultimately for me, there’s just not enough weirdness in Jasper.
