These Men Claim They Found a Giant 10 Times Human Size. Is This Bigfoot?

The Enigma of the Giant in the Forest: A Cryptid’s Unanswered Legacy

I still can’t believe what I’m looking at. The footage hit the internet about three weeks ago, and since then, it’s been haunting me. A 10-second clip showing two men crouched beside what appears to be a massive fur-covered body lying motionless on a forest floor. The thing is enormous. We’re not talking about your standard 8ft Bigfoot sighting here. This creature, if that’s what it is, looks easily 10 times the size of a normal human being.

The video quality is grainy, like it was shot on an older phone or a cheap camera, which only adds to the mystery. One of the men is wearing a white t-shirt and dark pants, crouching down to examine the body. The other seems to be filming from just a few feet away. In the close-up shots, you can see thick reddish-brown fur covering what looks like arms, legs, and a torso that’s almost incomprehensibly large. The face is partially visible in some of the images posted online later, and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Heavy brow ridge, wide nostrils, sunken features that look both ape-like and eerily human at the same time.

What makes this footage so unsettling is not just the size of the creature, but the fact that it seems real. There’s no obvious CGI, no theatrical makeup that I can detect. The men in the video don’t seem to be acting. They look genuinely shocked, cautious, like they’ve stumbled onto something they weren’t prepared to find. One of them reaches out tentatively to touch the fur and pulls his hand back quickly as if afraid the thing might suddenly wake up.

Here’s the part that really gets to me. After this video surfaced, there was no follow-up. Nothing. No news reports, no official statements, no interviews with the men who supposedly found this thing. The original post claimed it was discovered somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, deep in the mountains where few people venture. But the exact location was never specified. The identities of the men were never revealed. It’s like the whole thing just vanished into thin air after those first few days of internet buzz. So, I have to ask, what really happened here? If these men genuinely found a giant Bigfoot-like creature, why wouldn’t they come forward? Why wouldn’t this be front-page news across every major outlet? And if it’s fake, why go through all the trouble of creating such convincing footage only to let it fade into obscurity?

Neither explanation makes complete sense, which is exactly why I can’t stop thinking about it. Let me walk you through what we know, what we don’t know, and why this entire situation feels wrong in ways I can’t quite articulate. Because the more I dig into this, the more questions I have. And trust me, by the time we’re done here, you’re going to have questions, too.

The Footage Appears

The video first appeared on a forum dedicated to cryptid sightings and unexplained phenomena. The user who posted it claimed to have received it from a friend of a friend, which is already a red flag in terms of verifying the source. But what struck people immediately was the quality of the footage itself. It wasn’t polished or professional looking. It had that authentic shaky cam quality you’d expect from someone who just stumbled onto something incredible and grabbed their phone without thinking.

The camera pans across the massive body, lingering on the fur-covered limbs, the enormous hands with fingers that look almost human but far too large. At one point, the camera zooms in on the face, and you can see these deep-set eyes closed with heavy lids that give the creature an almost peaceful appearance.

The original poster wrote only a few sentences of context. They said the creature was found deceased in a remote area, that the men in the video were experienced outdoorsmen who knew the terrain well, and that they reported the finding to local authorities. Then, inexplicably, the post was edited hours later to remove any specific location details. The user claimed they were advised to take down identifying information for legal reasons, but they left the video and images up for people to analyze.

Within hours, the post had thousands of views. People started enhancing the images, zooming in on the creature’s features, trying to determine if the fur was real or synthetic. Some claimed they could see modern materials like zippers or seams hidden in the fur. Others pointed out that the proportions looked anatomically impossible for any known primate species.

But the majority of people who saw it had the same reaction I did. Stunned silence followed by an overwhelming sense that something about this was deeply, profoundly real.

The Commenter’s Testimony

Here’s where it gets even stranger. About a week after the original post, someone claiming to be one of the men in the video left a comment. They didn’t provide proof of their identity, but they wrote a detailed account of what happened. According to this person, they and their companion were on a multi-day hiking trip in an area they’d been to dozens of times before. They had never encountered anything unusual until that day.

The commenter said they were following a game trail when they noticed an overwhelming smell like rotting meat mixed with something musky and animal-like. They assumed it was a dead deer or elk, something that predators had taken down and left to decompose.

But as they got closer, they realized the smell was coming from something much larger. They described pushing through thick undergrowth and coming into a small clearing where the creature was lying on its side, partially obscured by fallen branches and forest debris. At first, they thought it might be a bear, but bears don’t have hands like that. They don’t have faces like that.

They stood there for several minutes just trying to process what they were seeing. Eventually, one of them pulled out his phone and started recording. They approached cautiously, half-expecting the thing to suddenly move or open its eyes, but it never did. It was completely still, and when they touched it, the body was cold and stiff.

According to the comment, they immediately called the local ranger station to report their find. They were told to mark the location with GPS coordinates and wait for authorities to arrive. But here’s the problem. The authorities never showed up. They waited for nearly 3 hours in that clearing and nobody came. Eventually, with daylight fading, they decided to hike back to their vehicle and reported in person at the ranger station.

When they got there, they said the ranger on duty seemed confused by their report. He claimed he hadn’t received any call from them, and when they showed him the video on their phone, his demeanor changed completely. He became curt, almost hostile. He took down their information, told them someone would be in touch, and then essentially dismissed them. They never heard back from anyone.

The commenter ended their post by saying they posted the video online because they felt the public had a right to know. They said they had no interest in fame or attention and that’s why they were remaining anonymous. They warned people not to go looking for the creature because they believed the area had been cleared by authorities shortly after their discovery. Then, just like the original poster, this commenter vanished. They never responded to follow-up questions, and their account went dark.

The Mystery Deepens

Now, I know what you’re thinking. This sounds like a classic internet hoax. Anonymous posters, vague details, no verifiable evidence beyond a short video and a few grainy images. And you’d be right to be skeptical. I’m skeptical, too. But there are elements of this story that don’t fit the typical pattern of Bigfoot hoaxes.

For one thing, most hoaxes are designed to generate maximum attention. The perpetrators usually want credit for their work. They want to be interviewed, to have their 15 minutes of fame. But in this case, the people involved seemed to be actively avoiding attention. They posted the evidence, made a brief statement, and then disappeared. That’s unusual behavior for someone trying to pull off a viral hoax.

Second, the creature itself doesn’t match the typical Bigfoot description. Most Bigfoot sightings describe creatures that are 7 to 9 feet tall, heavily muscled, but still within the realm of biological possibility. This thing is so much larger that it defies explanation. If someone were going to fake a Bigfoot discovery, why would they make it so absurdly oversized that it immediately invites skepticism?

And third, there’s the reaction of the ranger. If the men’s story is true, why would a park ranger act so dismissively when presented with such extraordinary evidence? You’d think they’d want to investigate immediately, even if they suspected it was a hoax. The fact that the ranger allegedly became hostile and then failed to follow up suggests something else might be going on. Maybe the authorities already knew about the creature. Maybe they were trying to suppress the information. Or maybe the men made the whole thing up, including the ranger’s response.

What’s the Real Story?

I’ve spent hours analyzing the footage frame by frame, and I still can’t decide what I’m looking at. The fur appears genuine with individual hairs visible in the close-up shots. The skin underneath, where it’s visible, has a texture that looks organic, not like latex or silicone. The proportions are bizarre, but they’re consistent across all the images. If this is a costume or a prop, it’s the most elaborate and convincing one I’ve ever seen.

But what really troubles me is the face. There’s something about the way the features are arranged that feels disturbingly real. The eyes, even closed, have depth to them. The nose and mouth have a structure that suggests real bone and cartilage underneath. I’ve looked at countless Bigfoot costumes and animatronics over the years, and none of them have this level of detail.

It’s possible this is the work of a Hollywood-level effects team. But again, why go to all that effort and then let it disappear without taking credit? Let me tell you something that might add context to all this. Over the years, I’ve heard stories from hunters and outdoorsmen who’ve encountered things in the wilderness they can’t explain. These aren’t people who believe in monsters or cryptids. They’re practical, down-to-earth individuals who spend more time in the woods than most people spend in their own homes. And yet, almost all of them have at least one story that doesn’t make sense.

One hunter told me about finding enormous footprints in fresh snow, prints that were far too large to belong to any bear or elk. He followed them for nearly a mile before they simply vanished at the edge of a frozen lake. No tracks leading away, no signs of where the creature might have gone, just nothing. He said he spent the rest of that hunting trip feeling like he was being watched, even though he never saw or heard anything unusual.

Another outdoorsman described hearing vocalizations in the middle of the night that sounded like a mix of human screaming and animal howling. He said it was so loud and so close that he grabbed his rifle and stayed awake until dawn, convinced something was circling his camp. When he investigated in the morning, he found tree branches snapped at heights he couldn’t reach, even if he jumped. Whatever made those sounds was tall enough to casually break limbs that were 8 or 9 feet off the ground.

These stories are common among people who spend time in remote wilderness areas. They don’t always involve sightings of actual creatures, but they all share this sense of encountering something that doesn’t fit our understanding of the natural world. And here’s what strikes me. None of these people report their experiences to authorities or post about them online. They keep the stories to themselves, sharing them only with other outdoorsmen who might understand. Why? Because they know how it sounds. They know people will think they’re crazy or making it up for attention.

The Implications of the Discovery

Now, if we’re talking about a creature that’s 10 times human size, we’re venturing into territory that goes beyond typical Bigfoot lore. We’re talking about something that would be 20 feet tall or more if it stood upright. That’s not just an unknown primate species. That’s something else entirely.

And interestingly enough, there are ancient stories that describe exactly this kind of being. The Nephilim mentioned in various ancient texts, including the Bible, are described as giants that walked the earth in antiquity. The exact nature of these beings is debated, but the texts consistently describe them as being enormous in stature, far larger than normal humans.

Some interpretations suggest they were the offspring of fallen angels and human women, while others view them as simply a race of unusually large people that existed in prehistoric times. What’s interesting is that stories of giants appear in cultures all around the world. Native American tribes have legends of huge, hairy beings that lived in the mountains and forests. These weren’t just tall humans, but creatures described as being impossibly large with strength that could shatter trees and move boulders. Many of these legends include details about the giants eventually dying out or going into hiding as human populations expanded.

In Greek mythology, the Titans were described as beings of enormous size who preceded the gods. Norse mythology speaks of Jotnar or giants who inhabited the wilderness and occasionally interacted with humans. Celtic folklore includes tales of the Femorans, a race of destructive giants who threatened human civilization.

The consistency of these stories across different cultures suggests they might be rooted in something more than pure imagination. Could the creature in this footage be a remnant of something ancient? A species that somehow survived in remote areas where human activity is minimal? It sounds far-fetched, I know, but consider this: We’ve only explored a fraction of the Earth’s wilderness areas. There are vast regions of forest, mountain ranges, and cave systems that have never been thoroughly surveyed. If a small population of extremely reclusive giants existed, they could theoretically remain hidden for millennia.

The Pacific Northwest, where this footage allegedly originated, has some of the densest and most remote wilderness in North America. There are areas where humans rarely venture, where the terrain is too steep and the vegetation too thick for easy exploration. If any creature wanted to avoid human contact, this would be the place to do it. And interestingly, the Pacific Northwest has more reported Bigfoot sightings than anywhere else in the United States. But again, we’re not talking about a typical Bigfoot here. This thing, if it’s real, would require enormous amounts of food to sustain itself. A creature that size would need to consume hundreds of pounds of vegetation or meat every day. That kind of impact on the local ecosystem would be noticeable. Hunters and wildlife officials would see evidence of it, even if they never saw the creature itself.
