TikTok has given us comedy skits, dance trends, and viral challenges, but every now and then, it also gives us stories that blur the line between entertainment and mystery. One of the strangest is the case of Andrew Dawson, the TikToker who claimed to have filmed a giant on a mountain… only to disappear from the internet soon after.
Andrew, known on TikTok as @andykapt, had nearly 400,000 followers when his videos about a “giant” went viral. What started as a single shaky video quickly spiraled into a bizarre chain of events: strange sightings, CIA encounters, cryptic uploads, and then… silence. To this day, fans argue about whether it was all a hoax, a social experiment, or something far darker.
The Viral Giant Video
In April 2022, Andrew uploaded a video that seemed to show an enormous human-like figure standing on a snowy mountaintop. It was distant and grainy, but the shape was clear enough to spark speculation. Was it a giant? A trick of the light? A person?
The clip racked up millions of views, though Andrew later disabled comments. For many, that was the start of a rabbit hole they couldn’t climb back out of.
The Following Days
Andrew didn’t stop at one video.
- Day 2: He returned to the mountain with his dog. The “giant” was gone, but when he zoomed in, a strange orange object hovered above the peak. Later that day, he caught two helicopters flying over the same spot.
- Day 3: Driving back at night, Andrew was stopped by a man in a black uniform who told him to turn around. Andrew didn’t know if it was police, military, or something else.
- Day 4: At home, he noticed what looked like the same car parked outside his house. When he stepped out, the car sped away. To him, it felt like surveillance.
“It Was All Fake”… or Was It?
On May 7, 2022, Andrew posted a vlog saying he was fine and that everything had been scripted. He apologized for worrying people. That seemed like the end of the story.
But just days later, he uploaded another video titled “I am scared.” In it, he looked nervous, saying: “You might not see me post ever again. My videos weren’t fake.”
This sudden flip shocked his audience. What started as “just a story” suddenly felt a lot more real.
The Final Video
Andrew’s last upload came on May 18, 2022. In it, he filmed the mountains again, capturing a dark, unfamiliar object that hadn’t been there before. His voice in the video sounded unsettled, even fearful.
After that… nothing. His account went silent.
Theories and Rumors
Since then, Andrew’s disappearance has fueled endless speculation:
- Hoax: Many believe the whole thing was scripted from the beginning, a viral stunt that Andrew simply abandoned.
- Cover-up: Others argue Andrew stumbled onto something he wasn’t meant to see, whether military operations or something stranger, and was silenced.
- Personal Struggles: Some suggest Andrew stepped away from social media due to stress, mental health issues, or personal reasons.
On Reddit and TikTok, debates rage on.
Is Andrew Dawson Dead?
The most unsettling twist came months later when Andrew’s alleged girlfriend, Salma, claimed online that he had passed away. She wrote about her grief, saying no one could understand the pain unless they lived it.
That fueled rumors that Andrew’s disappearance wasn’t voluntary. But skeptics point out there’s no official confirmation, and Salma’s posts could themselves be part of the mystery or a misunderstanding.
The Unfinished Story
To this day, Andrew Dawson’s fate remains unclear. Was he an internet storyteller who pushed a bit too far? A man caught in something beyond his control? Or someone who simply decided to vanish from the online spotlight?
What’s certain is this: Andrew’s videos tapped into something primal. Giants, government secrets, UFOs… his story had it all. And because it ended with silence, the mystery feels even bigger.
Until there are real answers, Andrew Dawson’s “giant” saga will stay lodged in internet folklore, half legend, half unsolved case.
