Book of Enoch Reveals What Bigfoot Actually Is... And the Name Your Bible Already Gave It
Main summary
Key takeaways
Summary
The video presents a speculative biblical explanation for Bigfoot. Its narrator, Thomas, argues that Bigfoot is neither an undiscovered ape nor a person in a costume, but a surviving, smaller, hairier class of offspring descended from the Watchers described in the Book of Enoch. The subtitles present this as the narrator’s interpretation—not as a conclusion established by the cited texts or evidence.
Main Ideas and Argument
-
The Bluff Creek film raises a mystery but does not settle it. The narrator opens with the 1967 footage of a tall, hair-covered figure walking upright in northern California. He acknowledges that the film alone proves nothing and that the “man in a suit” explanation remains disputed.
-
Enoch’s account of the Watchers and giants is the proposed starting point. The video describes the Watchers as beings who descended to Earth and fathered giants. It cites 1 Enoch 7, including differing reported measurements of their height, and emphasizes that the giants consumed resources and turned against other living beings.
-
The narrator reads “and also after that” as evidence of survival. He points to Genesis 6:4 and argues that its phrase “and also after that” suggests giants persisted beyond the Flood. This is the video’s interpretation of the verse.
-
The central claim is that the giants’ offspring came in different kinds. The narrator cites a Greek extract of Enoch copied by George Syncellus, which he says lists the giants, the Nephilim, and a third group called the Elioud. He interprets the Elioud as a smaller, more animal-like and hairier grade that could hide in the wilderness. He also invokes the Book of Giants and Enoch’s vision in chapter 86 as support for a hierarchy of offspring.
-
The Hebrew word se‘irim is presented as the key. The narrator says se‘ir means “hairy one” and se‘irim means “hairy ones.” He argues that older English translations render the term as “devils” in Leviticus 17:7 and “satyrs” in Isaiah, obscuring its literal association with hairy beings in the wilderness or ruins. He links the word to Esau’s hairiness and to the place-name Seir.
-
Other biblical passages are used to extend the theory. The video points to 2 Chronicles’ reference to priests for the se‘irim, and to Leviticus 16’s scapegoat sent into the wilderness. It connects the scapegoat’s destination, Azazel, with the Watcher Azazel in Enoch.
-
The narrator connects ancient texts to modern Bigfoot reports. He mentions footprint casts made by Jerry Crew at Bluff Creek in 1958, the later film, accounts from the Pacific Northwest, Yeti reports in the Himalayas, and stories of remote places where people or dogs avoid going. He also recounts an alleged marginal note by an Ethiopian monk—“the hairy ones who fled to the mountains”—and a letter about a family’s inherited warning concerning a specific valley.
-
Alternative explanations are acknowledged. The narrator notes claims that the film shows a person in a fur suit, including Bob Heironimus’s claim that he was the figure and a costume maker’s claim about the suit. He also concedes that many sightings may be bears or misperceptions. He nevertheless argues that these explanations do not account for what he sees as a recurring cross-cultural pattern.
-
Conclusion: The narrator identifies Bigfoot with the supposed “hairy grade” of the giants’ offspring and says the Bible already preserved a name for such beings in se‘irim. The video’s conclusion depends on linking biblical vocabulary and legendary accounts to modern Bigfoot reports; the subtitles do not establish that link as a verified fact.
Suggested Reading Steps Given in the Video
- Compare Leviticus 17:7 in an older Bible with a modern translation, paying attention to the Hebrew term behind “devils.”
- Read Isaiah 34:14 and consider how the passage describes beings inhabiting abandoned places.
- Compare those passages with 1 Enoch 7 and 86, Genesis 6:4, and the cited Greek fragment.
- Treat the video’s proposed connection between these texts and Bigfoot as an interpretation to assess, rather than as proof.
