In April 2022, Andrew Dawson, a 34-year-old from Campbell River, British Columbia, became an unexpected internet sensation after posting a TikTok video that sparked widespread curiosity and debate.

Known by his handle @andykapt, Dawson was an ordinary content creator who shared lighthearted videos about his life—friends, work, his girlfriend Salma, her children, and his dog. But a single video filmed near Canoe Mountain in British Columbia thrust him into the center of an internet mystery involving alleged sightings of giants, UFOs, government agents, and his sudden disappearance from social media.

This is the story of Andrew Dawson, a man whose viral moment left more questions than answers.

On April 9, 2022, Dawson was driving south on British Columbia’s Yellowhead Highway (BC-5) with a friend when he noticed something unusual on the ridge of Canoe Mountain, near Cedarside Regional Park.

Zooming in with his phone, he captured what he believed was a massive human-like figure standing atop the snowy peak. “It’s a person, dude! No, seriously, pull over!” he exclaimed in the video, which quickly amassed millions of views. Dawson was adamant that the figure was too large to be an ordinary person, fueling speculation about a “giant” in the mountains.

The video’s viral success prompted Dawson to investigate further. Encouraged by thousands of comments urging him to get closer, he returned to the area the next day, setting up his camera to avoid complaints about shaky footage.

To his surprise, the figure was gone. “It’s not even there anymore,” he said, pointing to the spot where he had seen the mysterious shape. Local residents told him that “something lives in the mountains, but it’s not always visible,” adding to the intrigue.
