Former Deputy Sheriff Claims 12 FOOT TALL 'GIANT MAN' Encounter in Washington Wilderness

A former deputy sheriff in Pierce County, Washington reports an encounter that he had while searching for a missing hiker. He claims that he witnessed a nude 12+ foot tall 'giant man.'

I received the following account:

"In August 1993, I was a deputy sheriff in Pierce County, Washington. I was a part of a search for a missing hiker. We had split up into single searchers early into the investigation. I was assigned to an area near Evans Creek Preserve This area was state land, but adjacent to Federal land.

It was approximately 2:15 PM and the weather was overcast. The woods can become very dark in this area, though I was familiar with the general location.

As I conducted my search for the missing hiker, I encountered an unknown entity that was staring at me. It was several hundred feet away but I could make out that it was human-shaped but very large and tall. I cautiously approached the individual. As I got closer, it was obvious that this 'man' was nude and that he was of tremendous size.

I was within 50 yards or so when he bolted to my right into the deep dark woods at a speed that was completely impossible for a human being to achieve. I yelled for him (or it) to stop, but he continued to run away. My instincts told me that this 'giant' may somehow be involved in the disappearance of the hiker.

By this time, I had drawn my weapon. I was hesitant to call for help or to report what I had witnessed. I was even questioning myself as to what this could have been. Was I hallucinating this giant being? I tried to follow the giant man, but it was simply impossible to do so.

After 15 minutes or so, I was getting spooked and decided to find my way back to the trail and continue with the search for the hiker. I'll admit, I was fearful of being ambushed by the giant man.

The giant man was at least 12 feet in height, very muscular in build, olive skin with no visible hair. He was completely nude. I didn't get close enough to describe facial features but the head was enormous and oval shaped. He never made any sounds. It just seems impossible that anything of that size really exists!

The hiker was eventually found nearer to Mt. Ranier, which was east of my location. I remained with the department for another 3 years until I moved to Oregon and started working for a security firm. 

After my encounter with the giant, I was much more wary of the outdoors. I still question what I witnessed that day, but I never told anyone, other than my wife and a close friend, about the incident. I'm not sure if they believed me. I have never heard of any related sightings here in the Pacific Northwest.

This is why I contacted you. Have you ever heard or read of a similar sighting or encounter? Do the giants really exist? Thanks for your time." LK

NOTE: I contacted the witness and we discussed the sighting. I have no idea what he observed, but he seems convinced that this was an actual corporeal being. I don't receive many 'Giant' sightings, especially in North America, unless you want to add hairy hominids into that category. Lon
