In the world of social media, TikTok has become a platform for talented individuals to showcase their creativity and build a massive following. Andrew Dawson (“that guy who saw a giant”) is a Tiktoker with nearly 400k followers. He has gone missing, and his followers are left wondering what could have happened to him.
Andrew’s videos and the one with a giant on a mountain, in particular, have caught the attention of a million people worldwide. His sudden disappearance has sparked concern among his followers and the broader social media community.
The mystery surrounding his disappearance has captured the attention of many, and the search for answers continues. Here’s the whole story and what I think happened.
Andrew Dawson (@andykapt)
In April 2022, Andrew Dawson, a Tiktoker from the United States, filmed what he said appeared to be a giant or an enormously large figure on a snowy mountain. The video was shot from quite a distance, but it was still clear from the shape that it was something resembling an extremely large person.
Nearly 16 million people have viewed this video to date. However, the comments were turned off for some reason.
Andrew then posted a series of other videos that have captured the attention of TikTokers of all ages and backgrounds. A few days after posting his most viewed video with a silhouette of a giant, Andrew made a vlog in which he claimed he was being followed by the CIA and even told by CIA agents to leave the area for trespassing.
“I just got stopped by like some CIA agent. He told me to turn around because I was trespassing. I said it’s a public area, public park, whatever. I didn’t get it on camera, but I am going there again tomorrow, and I’ll be prepared to be filming this,” Andrew said.
Andrew adds, “I don’t get it, it was awkward, but I am going back again tomorrow to see if he’s not there. But if he is there, I will keep the camera.”
Day 2
The next day, Andrew gets into the car early in the morning with his dog and sets off again near the mountain. When he arrives at the site and turns on the camera, the giant that was there the day before is no longer standing on the mountain. But when Andrew zooms over the mountain, a kind of orange flying object appears above the top of the mountain. The object seems to be flying but is actually hovering in one place.
Later that afternoon or evening, when Andrew is driving around the mountains, he notices two helicopters. “So they’re extracting something out of here. There’s two helicopters,” Andrew says in the video.
Day 3
The next day, Andrew, curious about what’s going on in the mountain region, sets off again. It’s evening and dark, and he probably hoped he wouldn’t meet anyone at that time. As he drives along the road, he notices a car with lights on and a person next to it. The person waves his hand and tries to stop Andrew. Andrew places the camera in his lap and says, “what’s going on?”
“Just turn around, please,” says an unknown person in a black uniform with a flashlight in hand. It is not clear from the video whether it was a police officer, an agent, or an ordinary person.
Day 4
It is late in the evening, and Andrew hears a loud car sound. He pulls on the blinds to look outside and sees a familiar car. It appeared to be the car with the black-uniformed person he had met in the previous days standing next to it.
When Andrew comes out, the car speeds away as if it doesn’t want to be seen. By all accounts, it was supposed to be stalking or intimidation.
“It Was Scripted And Fake”
Four weeks later, on May 7th, 2022, Andrew posted a vlog in which he apologized to people for not updating his followers because he had a busy life. He also mentioned that he was not dead, nor had he disappeared. At the end of the video, he mentions something very important and maybe disappointing for some; it all was scripted and fake.
“God, so it was all a freaking game,” I thought. I wasn’t disappointed so much as surprised.
What’s The Truth?
Ten days later, however, Andrew posts another video titled “I am scared” where he seems nervous. “You might not see me post ever again. My videos weren’t fake,” he said. What a shocker! I didn’t expect this, to be honest, nor did hundreds of thousands of other people.
His last and second most viewed video was posted on May 18, 2022, with the caption “Military?” Andrew again shoots the snow-covered mountains on the top of which stands a kind of black object that was not there the day before. You can tell from his voice that he is surprised and in shock.
Since then, his channel has been shrouded in deathly silence. No one knows what happened to Andrew, but the whole situation is mysterious and raises a lot of questions. Obviously, there are always two sides. On one side are people who believe it was all made up or that it was a social experiment testing people’s trust. On the other side are people who believe it is real and that Andrew has been silenced.
Is Andrew Alive?
A few months ago, a debate opened up on Reddit regarding whether or not Andrew is alive. Again, there is no evidence if this was all staged, if Andrew is just hiding, or if he is actually dead. But strangely, his girlfriend Salma claims he is dead and that “no one can imagine the pain until they have been through something like it.” Her profile was flooded with comments like “Where is Andy? What happened to Andy?” at one point, and it seemed like it was real.
We’ll probably never know the truth. Still, it’s an interesting story that deserves more attention than it’s getting today.
