He found Giants then the Government Found Him | What really happened to Andrew Dawson?
He found Giants then the Government Found Him | What really happened to Andrew Dawson?
Andrew started his TikTok account in July of 2021, and he posted all the typical things. Videos of friends, of work, his girlfriend, his dog, and just him goofing around.
But starting in April, 2022, his posts would take a strange turn; and Andrew Dawson would become the center of one the biggest internet mysteries in years.
Every story I cover on this channel is a suggestion from you and almost every one of them falls into one of a few categories.
UFOs, Government cover-ups, men in black, missing persons, and giants.
Well, today's episode has all of these.
This is the bizarre story of Andrew Dawson.

I’m a trucker from the south. This show gets me through long drives. Although since, none of you know who I am, I can freely admit more than once, I’ve had to turn my bunk light on behind me when I’m driving at night, cuz the content creeped me out too much.
The shadow people one still has me on edge. So I totally get it.
It seems like most truckers who're on the road for long enough end up with at least one of their own stories involving high strangeness.
I understand you perfectly on that
🤣👉
i 100% agree that MrBallen is worth checking out... that man is a really gifted story teller aswell...
I also noticed that the supposed cop blocking the road did NOT sound like law enforcement. He sounded like someone who was asked to act but was clearly uncomfortable acting.
Yeah, didn't sound like a cop.
That was my tell!
I noticed that too. Nothing about this feels right.
I've worked in these areas around the logging roads, and it's more than likely somebody from a private security company being subcontracted for a project because it's on federal land. The Trans mountain pipeline runs through these ranges, and over some of the mountains. I had to climb one of them, and locate the pipelines. The next day, they used helicopters to bring parts of a drilling rig to the top so they could drill piles. There's not very many roads so everything is chopper'd in and out.
Because it was one of his friends pretending he's a cop 😅
No fed or cop is driving a V6 Charger with an exhaust. I'm glad you touched on that 😂
You would be surprised what various government agencies will use as an undercover vehicle. Especially if it was seized in a crime. Mainly because it's a free vehicle to use and also because it's obviously what a criminals vehicle looks like. But I agree that was definitely his buddy thinking they are making home movies😂😂
@@SJL30fax but they put a muffler back on it
@SJL30 I wouldn't be that surprised, I used to have contracts with LE and FBI back in the day and worked with their vehicles. They certainly fleet tf out of V6 Chargers 😉
@KingSlat730 My friend got popped back in high-school by an undercover in a late 60s VW Bug 😅
Yes they do! Here in LA they do, I’ve even seen them drive brand new pick trucks not sure if it was a Chevy or gmc.
I'm from Campbell River, where he died. We were friends as teenagers but lost touch in our 20's and 30's. My mom works at the Comox hospital where he was brought. She spoke about her being sad because after being there for 2 weeks, no one had made funeral arrangements. He came from a rough family, lot's of childhood neglect. I am finding out about his online presence about 45 minutes ago after finding this video. This is a trip. RIP homie.
Interesting, that's sad though 😢
This is so 😢
My condolences to you and all of his friends and family.
But he has a sister and wife/gf with a kid, this makes no sense.
How did he die?
I’m from his home town. My best friend was friends with him growing up. He was super popular here. Keep trying to figure everything out because it seems so off 😢
I live right next door to where he was living and know what happened. all these video's are getting rediculous.
@@mikebennett4686 What happened?
@@0ne-Two Suicide huh? Kinda like how Jeffery Epstein offed himself? Maybe he did really kill himself, but most of the time the gov't/Cia wants to take someone out they make it look like a suicide so that really just fuels the conspiracy that he was murdered by the gov't.
@@mikebennett4686Please. Do tell.
@@0ne-Two doesn't add up... Doesn't feel right, somethings off here...
This is why I love this channel, you present each story like most conspiracy type channels do with photo's videos and all the online hoo ha. But instead of leaving it there, making people think everything happened the way it looks to have happened, you then dig into what can actually be debunked or dismissed, what can be proven either way and what happened AFTER said mystery. Then you leave the audience to make up our own minds once we have ALL the information about a case and not just some of it. It's fab.
100%. It’s like the most ethical way to cover conspiracy content.
@@Divinity_vA Exactly, whenever I watch his videos I always get the 'ooooh, how weird and strange' vibe from the first half as he presents the conspiracy information but then in the second half of his videos when he presents the actual facts I'm like 'Ahhh, that explains it then' lol This channel just shows how easily fake incidents can spread and become 'reality' if people don't have ALL the information. I think the way he structures his videos is brill.
@@therockbottom5256 I love this channel too; I pleasure myself to the sound of that fish's voice 🐟💕
Nah that wasn't no cell tower
weird I've seen this same comment multiple times on different videos.Bots be rampant in this virtual real all is an illusion nothing can be taken as real.
As soon as I heard that "CIA" guy tell him to turn around, I rolled my eyes. And why would he peel out like that?
I really enjoyed everything about this. I was hooked the whole way through, and usually I'm looking at 2 screens at a time. This is an interesting story that I'd never heard before. I was on board the whole way through until you basically debunked everything. The only mystery to me that remains is his death and if it really happened. Hecklefish is amazing and brilliantly mimics behavior of typical online trolling. Never seen your videos before, and I haven't subscribed to a channel in over a decade but SUBBED!
Enjoy....lots of interesting stuff here. Im fairly new too n I love it.
I appreciate how respectful you are. Even after introducing your facts. You explained every thing in detail yet remained very considerate to his family.
😢
No le creas a estos vídeos son más de diversión que actos de verdad
Michael A “The internet has no chill “
Great reporting and investigating. I was totally buying the story and Andrew’s death seemed to follow how the government deals with a problem. He was very convincing but you did your homework and debunked the story. Sad ending if he’s actually dead.
@@michaela6147beleave nothing, question everything
“Yeah man, just turn around” that was definitely his friend just acting.
I was thinking the same at first it was getting me then I seen that part turn around I was like yup it's cap 🧢
I was like damn cops in Canada are super chill lol
@@GlitterGothBunnythey kind of are, one time my ex girlfriend walked out of the front door of our apartment to two officers casually standing in the hallway with rifles, about to raid an apartment across from us. They smiled and told her to have a good day lol. Also one time I was brought to the hospital by cops, I talked to the Sgt for a while about music and he ended up following my soundcloud 😂 canadian cops are dope
Well said, googlemail!
And the fact that there was just one "cop" there? Nahhh!!!
I’m so addicted to this! I found it on Tubi and watched all those. I love the host and Heckefish. Now I’m glad I can watch more on here. Thank you, Andrew for this amazingly interesting show. Never stop!
This is brilliant investigative journalism! Thank you!!!!!
I'm so happy to see this topic appearing on your channel. It's basically a rabbit hole where the more digging you do, the stranger it gets and it's actually quite morbid. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work you put into editing your videos, the story telling and the digging you do. KZhead should be sending you a golden shovel alongside the golden button. Also, the little things you pay attention to are amazing, such as picking the right fonts for every moment of the video, the noise, the ambience. It's priceless. So, once again, thank you Mr Hecklefish for running such an amazing channel and I hope that working Mr AJ and his lovely wife is not that big of a problem. All the best from southern Poland!
AJ was an irl tv producer so he knows a thing or two about quality videos. His channel is one among a very small group of channels actually worth watching on YT, where every episode is top tier, not a single dud. Its cliche but I'd enjoy having a beer with Mr. Hecklefish and him. Cheers, from Canada.
@@dumpywhite do you know if hecklefish is voiced by Aj?
@@dumpywhite Any other recommendations? I haven't found much channels with high quality videos like this.
@@mjml4668 Hecklefish is voiced by Hecklefish
@@mjml4668 All I know is during last week's AfterFiles episosde, AJ answered an unrelated question in the voice of, I believe, Sid Rosenberg. Up went his voice a couple of octaves, and out came a Brooklyn/Long Island accent that sounded suspiciously like a fish called Heckle. :- )
Sir it is 3:29 am an hour outside of Chicago and my phone was downstairs charging, I was watching you on my TV and without even thinking about it went all the way downstairs and grabbed my phone connected to the tv, just to tell you how much respect I have for you, The sympathy you showed when talking about not commenting, because of it being "Torture" went through me. Everything you do is amazing, Factual, and unbiased. From the bottom of my heart..THANK YOU
Has no one else seen these things I'm surprised the whole place wasn't crammed packed with people looking for these sightings after he posted this
WOW
He dont give a flying fuh
The programming has worked on this one
@@joanferris3539 These things? Ya mean weather observational instruments that are commonly seen on top of mountains?? Instruments that can only be put there and then taken off again by huge helicopters! That's all this Andrew dude saw. Then he turned into some laughable government cover up involving the CIA and giants so his boring channel could get more views and attaintion lol! And ta-daaahhh.......it worked!!😉
I thought the fish was going to be extra ,after one video I gotta say you may be the only person online who could make this work. Amazing 😍
I love your intro, the way you slowly sit down and start telling the story, all that with a serious look on your face hahah I love it
This is absolutely great that someones out there getting the facts straight about many speculative topics. The internet deserves TWF at a time where there's so much fakery out there for views. This guy is doing gods work. Looking forward to seeing more of these videos as an avid person looking into getting to the bottom these subjects. I want to believe, but I want to know the facts.
If yu really want FACTS that will blow yoyr mind, check out ARCHAIX and JASON BRESHEARS on yu tube!
What’s your favorite mystery subject you’ve found?
100%
This guy also likes wearing lipstick 💀
@@husrebel494 why should girls have All the fun?
I knew a kid in highschool. He was so good at telling a believable story and had me sucked in for weeks. When he told me if he wasn't at school the next day, he was killed. He didn't show up and I told the principal. They broke into his locker and found all his story notes, the cops got involved, and they found out he was on a family vacation. He was sent to a psychologist and never was at school again I learned he was diagnosed as a psychopath. Years later, I found him on Facebook listed as a dentist. Double checked and, yep, he's a dentist. So, this guy on the video reminds me of his behavior. It was so believable until it's not.
Crazy
A lot of surgeons and other such doctors (like dentists) are higher up on the psychopath spectrum!
@@alexandragrace8164 Well now that's some information that I don't think I wanted to know. Wasn't there a movie called The Dentist, where a guy went off the deep end because his wife was screwing around with the pool boy? Then he pulled all of her teeth without any pain killer.
So you sent a kid to therapy, labelled a psychopath and got him kicked out of school? I hope you said sorry atleast 😂
@@MrLemonpants I hope your comment is an attempt at dark humor. Otherwise, it's gaslighting or you completely didn't read what I wrote.
THANK GOODNESS!!! I was thinking the “giant” was the Inukshuk statue but the cellphone tower was just as satisfying! A simple google and you would’ve found out that building was the Sky Tram 🤣 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING YOUR DUE DILIGENCE WHEN POSTING THESE VIDEOS!!!
Andrews nephew Jerod Holbrook recently came forward with proof that they were related with videos on all his social media of them together messing around years prior to Andrews death. He admitted that Andrew was a big prankster and faked the whole thing. Also added that Andrew passed away in Campbell River BC on Canada Day dealing with mental health issues leading to taking his own life after getting laid off of Ledcor.
Every time a person shares the truth or comes across one the government takes certain actions and makes that person come up with lies in order to cover up the truth or something beyond what we perceive as normal
How do you fake that lmao
@@hunterreese8716lol which part? The tower that's on the top of Canoe Mountain or the CIA in the Dodge Charger with custom exhaust that was stalking him? 😂 yall gullible asl
Yeah ok 👍
Ever since I first heard of his videos and the whole disappearance. I figured the only conclusion was su*c*de
If you want a suggestion, I recommend you cover the unidentified aircraft from the 1980s and 1990s known euphemistically as Project Aurora. I worked in air defense development during the late 1980s and heard stories from radar operators who saw hypersonic tracks on their systems that nobody could (or would) explain. It remains something of a mystery today. Was it real, fake, or a cover story for other black projects? I'd enjoy hearing Hecklefish's opinion.
2nd
You should read the book The Hunt For Zero Point. Aurora isn’t the focal point of the book, but learning about black projects, I believe Aurora exists. The witness testimony and other whispers surrounding the Aurora are just like when the B2 Stealth Bomber was a black project for most of the 80’s. The government most likely has an official name for it, therefore they can also deny the existence of the ‘Aurora’. Just like how Area 51 is and was officially referred to as Groom Lake Flight Range Facility.
I had an Uncle who worked as Head Copywrighter for the Pentagon when I was a kid. Every so often he would have a few too many drinks and start talking about all the stuff that came across his desk. Stuff like VTOL aircraft, Stealth helicopters, aircraft that could make 90 degree turns, etc. This was back in the 80's. So none of that stuff was public knowledge. Now all that stuff is known to exist. he always said that whatever they show you publicly they're 20- 30 years ahead of that.
AJ would say put it on the tips line
@@jenhaganey Yep 👍
Thank you, AJ, for always being so tactful. Whether that man is dead or not, I love how you implored viewers to be respectful. You're a good dude 😊
I agree, well done bruv
I AGREE…! 👍🏼👍🏼👣👠😃
Yes I agree!!!
I thought the same thing. Real or fake, it was handled with dignity and respect.
Definitely. I agree as well. Also, it seems like a great way for AJ to cover his tracks. If this stuff is real, it's nice to have the debunk at the end. Even though I highly doubt modern "men in black" dress like the Hollywood movie. Also, if he was there the day before, the officer already did the establishment of dominance or whatever . The supposed man in black did sound like he had seen him before. And this time he was just short "just turn around". But I believe the debunk. Wink wink.
Why the bloody hell have I found this chanel only now?? Unaceptable🙂 Absolutely awesome stuff, bro👍
go watch the pillar 43 one and time machine build in house, vry good
Nobody mentioning the fact that the sun rises about 7am around 9.4.22, so Andrew sets off at 5:30am in near darkness, but then spots an object in a brightish sky, but then when encountering the "CIA Agent" it's darker than when he left the house originally 🤷🏻♂
Obviously, it took him time to drive to the mountain, and AJ clearly says the second encounter with the agent was later in the evening. That's why nobody is mentioning it.
Two separate days.
I've had the worst start to a new yr than I've ever had. My Dad had 2 heart attacks, my sisters the victim of hit&run that left her unable to walk, and I've lost everything that makes my home "home". My son and I are having a very rough go. But these show really so bring me up somehow. I just really wanted to thank you AJ and family. May seem crazy and a little mushy, but thank you from the bottle of our hearts. Keep it up. You guys are amazing.
Trust in God and he will get you through.
@@dipdip907 I give honest experience- based advice.

God Bless you Chelsea. 🙏 Hang in there the Lord will help you. 💥♥️🙏
The obit being posted at 7 Am on the morning of his death seems so suspicious. If his death was expected and the family was prepared well in advance, then maybe. But in an unexpected death of a young person, having a full obit ready and published within hours of the death seems outlandish.
What if he died at 1 am?
@@johndough1703 Have you ever written an obit for a loved one? A fully written, paid for, and published obit in the first 6 hours after an unexpected death would be highly unusual. Have you ever experienced a shock death of a loved one? Having the wherewithal to go through the steps of writing and publishing an obit is not feasible for most humans. Not totally impossible, I’m sure. But highly improbable.
@@kbc1883 No. & You are correct. I was just adding to the thought process of potential, albeit, highly improbable outcomes. Like… it wasn’t written by the family, or it was simply done so to spread the news in a more accurate & respectful way than small town rumors. I neither know nor care. I personally despise hoaxers, liars, & misinfo agents. Hopefully he’s having a bad time regardless.
There would be a death certificate and probably a coroners report. Don't know if it is possible to get those records.
In my 40s I started up making my funeral account slowly paying for it so my family would not be over whelmed with it after I die some day. I update my obituary and funeral info sometimes. And I have my music listed that I want played during the visitation time. During the short funneral I want the speaker to keep it short and explain why he or she is going to be playing this song during my funeral: "Home Sweet Home" by Montley Crue to play after the speaker explains that I am now happily free of this sick and aging body and have went Home to Heaven having fun there in peace. I'm 52 now. I remember how me and my siblings had to try and get the odd spelling of this person's new married name and mention this or that. It was a long confusing mess after our parents died, so I made my own obituary at the funeral home to help keep it easier on my family some day when I kick the bucket.
My dad was in the Navy for 20 years. When i was a kid ,i heard stories of the FBI bugging our phone vans sitting in front our house. Fbi phoning relatives etc. They do sit in front of your house in white vans and bug your phone. Now why was the FBI bugging just a random Navy guys home....? Well he was in the process of getting top security clearance. So they had to make sure he was top notch. I asked about the other day ,thats when he finally told me why ,like i said i only heard stories. I knew about the phone cause it would make a weird clicking noise everytime iwas on it
I did kind of a dive into this shortly after it occurred. It is true that there is practically nothing about Andrew Dawson online. The geography is also dubious in a way. For one Jasper, where he recorded the tram, is over a 90 minute drive from where he lives. The site his obituary was posted in is actually on Vancouver Island. That is like a 12 hour drive away. It is not known for verifying it's stories and posts. There seems to be little connection to Campbell River and the Dawson family.
well you dropped the ball on your 'research' because the pic was actually taken of Canoe Mountain just outside the town of Valemount BC
@@jessegreywolf I never mentioned anything about the original pic. So YOU dropped the ball in some weird effort to be "that guy".
@@MickLoud999 And if he faked an obituary, that'd be one reason to just never ever come forward. I don't know if he'd get in actual trouble, but it would look bad for him publicly
@@histguy101Yeah I don't think he's too concerned about his publicity. Actually I can't even get a feel for his motives for all this. It does seem like it is a setup but why?
He's showing mannerisms, thumbs and body postures of someone who is being forced to do something or say something they don't want to, but they have to to you protect people around them. Or himself from whas approached him. And gave him an ultimatum
Did not expect the ending to be touching. Way to inject some much-needed humanity and give it breathing room. Love the channel
Dont be so gullible the guy waa a fraud, bringing in the question did he realy die?
What I absolutely love about The Why Files format is that the focus of the content is "selling" the conspiracy/mystery as genuinely as believers believe in it. There's no punching down (well, Hecklefish's takes that role but in as an overt charactercher and not as the 'straight man reporting' archetype). Too many other "debunker" channels take on topics and gleefully make fun of the topics to the point where anyone outside of the conspiracy/mystery couldn't possibly understand or relate to WHY some people can believe in it. By giving the topic the whole focus at the beginning, and I ly revealing at the end the strings and tape holding it together (the debunking or results of the research) youre able to get a taste of being drawn into the madness for a moment before seeing the man behind the curtain. It's such an enjoyable experience. Thank you.

Thankyou for clearing this up.
AJ, you are an excellent story teller. I am very entertained by your video stories. The puns by Hecklefish are a mixed bag; some are entertaining, others kinda shrill.
If you ever get a chance to visit this mountain range, do it!! I used to live on the West coast and even on hikes around the base of the mountains just outside of Vancouver, it feels like elves are watching you from their hiding spots. There is an outerworldly feel to these mountains. When I visited Jasper (close to where Andrew found his giant), there was an elk the size of our truck walking down the middle of the street, lol. It looked like Santa lost a reindeer.
Did you go to ape island?
Elves and a elk that looked like a reindeer, which are kinda small? Okay, maybe lay off the meth.
@@oggyoggy1299 looks like you can't comprehend the original commenter story in "english". what's your first language dude?
@@lakraknjeprak2536 Beat it paki.
@@oggyoggy1299 reindeer aren't small and I think she meant Trolls not Elves
What a superb episode! Every suspicion that I had while watching the story unfold turned out to be covered - the heli-logging, the contrails, the forced confession. Brilliant analysis as usual and it is so refreshing to find someone actually looking beyond the surface of the internet and not taking everything at face value. This is the only channel I ever follow - great entertainment, great stories, great presenting.
why would the CIA be in Canada? Canada has CSIS and RCMP. what was his cause of death?
the ONLY part …. that is not a contrail lol and with many hours flying and not a UFO guy…. it IS NOT a contrail…. maybe a weather balloon ??
Well said👍
I love how you Dissected the story and gave both sides of the coin, thank you for that. The only thing that bothers me is, if it is a hoax how did he make all of his records disappear? No one can do that, and that's what makes me think that this is somewhat true.
@@tatarod219 you responded to the wrong person
I heard about the history today and i was scared because i was starting to believe things. Thanks for explaining all with logic and real information

My respect for you as a legit investigator just skyrocketed.
He's a very thorough reporter/investigator/creator
Also he works with an awesome team.
The rest of his vids are just as good.

Unusual story. First time viewer.
I love how you are always so respectful of the people that are involved in your presentations. The content is so interesting and entertaining too. Thanks! 😊
I actually look forward to your episodes more than any other shows on regular tv these days. Thanks AJ and the team!
Yup youtube is the new TV just like TV killed radio KZhead n streaming killed TV I haven't had Cable TV for a few years now
AJ played down the idea his channel is as good as TV quality. It's not because it's better. AJ, you are appreciated.
Same here

facts.
It's weird that that dude blocking the road sounded exactly like his friend that was riding in the car in the first video
Your tempo and use of right music and sound FX make the videos really captivating. Good job.
No, AJ... *YOU* are appreciated. Thanks for handling this tragic, potentially heartbreaking topic with directness and sensitivity.
As an aside, CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) is mandated to investigate and report (to the Federal Government) on threats to Canada's security. The agency has no law enforcement role, nor does it have the ability to close roads. Around Jasper, that authority would rest with either the RCMP, or Parks Canada rangers (who would be in uniform). But even if Canada has no "men in black", if you're on a remote road and a stranger blocks your path, telling you to turn around, it's probably a good idea to do so.
Canada has "men in black". Don't kid yourself on that one.
Yeah but I can also ask questions and if no one is going to stop me I’ll go down that road.
Having the legal ability to close a road and having the need to close the road are two different things. This was clearly not a legal road closing. Someone had just parked his car in the road and said road closed.
Yeah, unless you're packing heaters🇺🇲
Whoa whoa whoa…..Canada has an intelligence agency?
the existing cell tower and existing ski lift images cast insurmountable doubt. Personally I have seen contrails at sunset exactly like the one featured above the mtn top.
That was a good one !! Wasup hecklefin !!!!
The death record online being posted 7 am the day he died is very very weird.
I looked at the obituary online at about 5:00 am on January 8th, 2024 and the date of death is listed as July 1, 2022. The date of the obituary is listed as June 1, 2022.

I remember that. I saw that video just couple of days when he uploaded it, then he started uploading strange videos where he was supposedly being persecuted by others, and started hearing strange noises at night. He seemed to be notably scared, even though his channel was never about drama or mystery, he was just a normal person recording adventure videos.
You covered up this story perfect
I love how the tone of your videos is not all about debunking. You really show respect to the conspiracy community.
The schizo community?
Respect: creating an animated fish that he gives a goofy voice to called hecklefish that makes fun of people. Got it.
@@eduardopena5893 is it not real? Are those not the expected responses? Lol
conspiracy community? lmao
@@yung_tash9321 conspiracy theory, whatever
This is the first video I've seen of this channel and I'm loving the content. All the wonder and hype of a conspiracy theory with all the satisfaction and feel of safety of reasonable, critical analysis. And you bring it all together in a way that's coherent. The tone feels consistent. It isn't a mocking tone, it's respectful and reasonable. Love it!
It’s a great series 🎉
7:31 Regular con trail moving away from us, either lowering or rising. 8:58 100% the guys buddy, I can hear bad acting a mile away. Fun li'l SF piece, but these dummies are muddying the water of actual research.
Whim can you get your tongue any further up this guys arse? What utter bollox lol..
Indeed.
@@4Everlast Dummies? The research here was impeccable, fair and impartial. This show is first rate in every way..with a touch of comedy to keep it from going too dark. Show us something better if you have it.
Good video. I remember this story pretty well as Im from BC as well. This was one of the weirdest ones for sure.
Love the way you get to the root of the issue!!! Keep on doing what you do!!!
I’m from northern BC (close to where this happened) and I also work for the provincial government. This area (Valemount BC), is also a part of the area I cover as a govt official. A couple things that may help put things into context; A national pipeline is being constructed along HWY 5 right now, security on branch roads leading to the construction sites is insane (due to activism). This could explain why he was turned away, as well the helicopters are used for the construction. Although this doesn’t really explain the charger (could be private security, which aren’t bound by the same code of govt officials). You can see some of the pipeline construction briefly in the clips as well. Contrails in BC, especially like the ones he filmed are very common, and frequently mistaken for UFO’s, even by yours truly..😂 I admit, this is the first time I’ve heard this story (oddly enough being relatively close). I hope Andrew has found peace (where ever he is).🙏 Also thank you for another fascinating video that is close to home for me, I was pleasantly surprised! This area has some fascinating stories; ufo’s, lost nukes, ghosts ect! It’s the type of area where things happen and the vastness and remoteness conceals it’s secrets. Cheers everyone..🍻
We are going to meme this story into common consciousness and there is nothing you can do about it
@@Hans-yb5jc nahh G. The culture isn't on that. Unless you're still in high school, then I could understand why you'd think that's about to happen
I started thinking that too when I heard him say please. He's probably private security who clearly doesn't know what he's doing. And since that's the pipeline and it's crossing border that falls under infrastructure DHS over here. Which would mean if that guy is there he has to have some sort of clearance. If anyone killed Andrew it was that guy and not the govt. Private sector security is all kinds of 💰. The guy said please like he didn't wanna have to hurt him
How often have you seen the CIA in the Canadian national parks or anywhere in Canada for the matter?
Not so sure about this Andrew Dawson guy, but I could speak for myself by saying that the pipeline project is complete BS. Faulty equipment is doomed to fail. It's not a question of if, but WHEN. Temporary finances over a healthy ecosystem.. it's backwards thinking that needs to stop.
The true genius of this channel is that it's produced and ready to go. The goal has to be to grow the audience and then syndicate it. There are even segments that end with title cards. Bravo to you, AJ. I hope it works out as you envision. Even if it doesn't, this channel will grow enough that it makes so much money.
Thank Hecklefish, he does all the research n production… somehow. He’s a talented fish.
Man people are really riding this guy's jock.
Z oo so. Viz o. C C pc. Z. Xx. W C C C a. Pz C
I'm pretty positive AJ has worked as a producer for a television series before. At least something close to that. If I remember correctly he has said this before on this channel or one of the other channels and has admitted that the goal is syndication and that this is what he has always wanted to do and now that he finally has the means he quit his day job in order to follow his dreams
@@jimiesoteric2417 yes, he is a television producer. That's why he knows exactly how to format his episodes so that a TV channel can load it up and add commercials and it's ready for air right away.
I really appreciate the amount of respect and compassion you have at the end of this video.
AJ & Hecklefish I'm a big fan 👍 Can you post a video on ZERO POINT ENERGY or ZERO POINT Gravity please? ❤❤❤
This channel proves that we the people are starving for facts and unbiased truths. We are all sick and tired of the absolute bs. Great channel. ❤ it.
I’m baffled how many people think that he’s actually gone. He’s right up there with a ton of other channels that post deceiving content in an attempt to get more views. The “looking to the side” video as a thumb nail. Come on now… anyone can make an obituary.
Remember the good old day of youtube 100 unbranded unknown conspiracy theories, but now it's all hip area 51 what's up with that? Lol hash tag secrets
Or people like a good story?
@@TheCurrykiev maybe
This comment needs more likes.. my favorite 1 yet
This channel feels like its bringing back the glory days of the internet, but updating it and making it better than we ever experienced.
The sweet memorial at the end is so nice! My condolences to the family!
Ive watched over 20 of this channel's videos over the past couple of days and I have to say I really appreciate and admire the amount of thoughtful effort put into this videos. The jokes are a good mix of silly and clever, the content is fascinating and the story telling is captivating and easy to follow. On a side note this Andrew saga is clearly fake and just someone messing around lol. Its funny and interesting but pretty clear that its fake. Might be from a marketing company or some weird social experiment
I just found this channel, this is the first video I've seen. I almost never buy merch but I just did a search for "Fear the Crabcat", bought a coffee mug and fucking laughed out loud the whole time. It was worth 18 bucks and I haven't even got the cup yet. I'm sure it will pay shitloads of giggle dividends for many mornings to come. Thanks!
"almost never buy merch" lmao ok 😂
I have to say, I watch EVERY SINGLE VIDEO you put out. Even if it's a topic I have no interest in, I know that within just a few minutes that will change. I cannot say that about ANY OTHER CHANNEL on KZhead. You are my absolute favorite channel. Thank you for all the hours of educational entertainment!! You guys are the best! Love you Hecklefish! Beware the crabcat!! It's real. I'VE SEEN IT!!
That is funny!!
Hecklefish is cool.
Big same!
Oh gee golly your such a silly goose….
how can you stand the annoying fish voice. and the hack dialogue. ruins everything.
6:17 hecklefish cynical laugh is spot on😂 😅 how naive for people to think that CIA doesn't operate outside of the USA😅
This channel is literally legendary
I have three questions? 1. Was his friend in on it? If yes, has he said anything? 2. Why didn't any Canadian viewers of his TikTok debunk the videos right away(especially that one with the structure he claimed was built overnight). 3. Is the path that he claimed was guarded by an agent easy to find? If yes, then why didn't somebody go there to prove there's no agent blocking the path?
Ikr. I thought viewers would be the first to debunk it. Also Google maps can be edited and faked. Is there real reviews of the tram place?
As soon as he showed the video of the supposed building that wasn’t there the day before, I said to my wife, that’s just the Jasper tram. The first time we took our kids to Jasper I pointed to it on the mountain and told them it was an ancient temple. We still call it that to this day. You can clearly see it from the town of Jasper.
All good questions 👏💯🇭🇲
I saw a reddit thread early on that called out the giant as being a transmission tower of sorts. That said it all to me, dude lives there and doesn't know about it and can't do a quick check on google maps?
@@ashmaybe9634 Good to know that people were calling him out. Seems like he should have known to stop lying, but for some reason he kept it up. I wouldn't be surprised if he really is pretending to be dead.
The production level of this channel just keeps increasing. Also, regardless of the circumstances, your closing tribute was very thoughtful.
I appreciate the break down at the end of the show.s and the interesting topics
I just started watching your show and I love it!!! 👍
The why files are hands down the best channel of all time. If you think you know the story from another channel.. Get ready to experience it in greater detail. HeckleFish and AJ do a deep dive into so many unanswered questions. Explaining both sides of everything.. I’ve seen everything multiple times.. and force people to watch it while they’re getting tattooed.. they’re hooked. Thanks why files! Anyways, feeaaar the crab-fish 🦀..
I do the same shit
Geez, talk about a captive audience! Good for you guys! ✌️😸 #fearthecrabfish! shouldn't that be #fearthecrabcat! ? ✌️😸
I always watch The Why Files in front of my aquarium, while making snide comments to my angelfish, Gill, about why can't he just live up to his potential, and get a job already, like Hecklefish. That bum never says a word, just eats treats, but when Heckle mentioned the CrabFish, his eyes got huge, and he darted behind a plant. Hmmmm......? Hahaha anyway man, loved your post, captive audience indeed. I'll be sure my tattoo guy knows about this channel in the future. Much love yall.
Cia builds a secret building where a giant was sighted, it was such a secret building they pop it right on top of a mountain, No one will see it there🤣
I absolutely love how you insert the fish into your clips! It takes off the edge and in a round about way, it protects you from what I like to call, the “watching eye.” Thanks bro for speaking specifically about Andy! RIP Andy Man! I got family ten miles away from him so I know everything about exactly what happened. Thanks again my friend you’re a good man.
"Yea man jus just turn around " HAHAHA! Suspicious haha
I live in Valemount, BC. This mountain is not in Alberta, it's in Valemount, BC - my hometown. Why flies!
As much as I always hope one day you won’t be able to debunk some crazy theory.. the fact you are able to research and break down such a variety of topics in such a logical straightforward way.. brings me back time and time again. I am ALWAYS stoked when I see a new video from the WF’s but this one was something I had actually followed in real time, and to be honest.. just wasn’t exactly sure what to make of it.. That became even more so when I learned of his passing. So thank you, for not only covering this and putting in the time to research the questions we all had about this.. but for how unbelievably responsible and respectful you were in doing so.. my love for your show increased twofold.. and it was already pretty high up as it was.. thanks mate! Your awesome
@Bay Area Chicano a deceiver?
You should learn some basic grammar.
@Bay Area Chicano You're a tard.
New viewer. I'm impressed with the effort he put into the video. That said, there are a lot of stories that are clearly real coverups and murders, so one should not let the fakers trick them into thinking that real stories don't exist. As for this one, it really looks like a hoax so most likely, his death was also.
I love how he explains the story then breaks it down! He's a beast!!!!
Love your vids keep up the good work
I am left with more questions than answers for the very first time on your show I don’t know what to think.
Thank you guys for being so awesome! 💚 Thank you so much for my message on discord! AJ, Hecklefish, and the team are all amazing!
No, you're amazing looly 😛
@@bretta2901 Actually, I'm kinda thinking that weird ginger guy is pretty dope, tbh. What's his name again? Something with crayons...

Hey Looly!
@@Wingedspider358 Hey lady 💚
These videos are the bright spot of my days! You're really good at investigating these weird subjects. The way you handle even sad subjects is really well done.
Andrew and his CIA friend are not very good actors, but I still enjoy the story :)
Brilliant! Derek from "monsters among us" brought me here.
Really like your compassionate take on this story AJ. Nicely done.
Lets do this young man his due diligence . And God bless Andrews family.
Itd be on news NEWs ..if real.
@@jasond.471 oh sweet summer child, your naivety is heart-warming
@@rossclutterbuck1060 and..your belief in "whats on the internet must be true?" Staggering . 😉
@@jasond.471 hey bro I’m going by what his family has said, I don’t know if he’s dead for sure no but until they say different or until I see him alive thats how im goin …
@@getbbudded23 ok..i can go w that.However? The fact that his sisters social medias havent made one a post whatsoever referrring to a dead or missing brother :/ Which? In itself? To go this long??? Raises my eyebrows.. Fact the obituary uses a social media photo and was in the paper 3 hours after supposed time of death? Lol (*The paper? Being a online version of the physical paper? That? Raises HUGE eysbrows. Than? The fact everything he allegedly saw? Was all just debunked right in this video. Topped? W the fact i seen that face for YEARS in other vjds under diff names. So. As a reasonable human Being? Im gonna go w my theory..until? Itd be proven diff. And that 'agent'? Cmon? Worst actor than the dude this story is about. He was trying to Hoax. 😉 what happened inbetween or after? We will see ...
As soon as i saw that car parked out side , i was being dooped , but this Andrew guys a real talented producer huh
Good reporting I still have some questions 😢😢
I've avoided looking into this as I had the feeling it would ultimately prove to be a simple, sad story. OK, so maybe not so simple after all... But damn it AJ, you almost made a grown man cry! Heart goes out to his family... It was when you mentioned he had kids my guts did a backflip. Expertly researched, delivered respectfully. KZhead needs to make an award ceremony just for this channel.
Agreed Matthew!
Hear hear
Andrew Dawson is still alive. This is Fake news.
I agree he is alive likely moved away and around better people.
@@beautruex7012 how do you know?
This is life now. Everything is total crap, then I see a new Why Files episode is gonna drop, and I can feel happy for a little while. Thank you to AJ, Hecklefish, and the whole team. ❤
Everything is total crap? Is your body functioning reasonably well without pain? Is the electrical grid still working, bringing you internet access, refrigeration, lighting, etc? How about plumbing? Are stores open? Can you see a doctor when needed? Can you travel freely anywhere you want to go (except Area 51) in the USA via a freeway system that connects the entire nation? If you live in a large city, are cranes downtown building new highrises (as in Phoenix?). I state all this obvious stuff to try to get pampered Americans to see all that they take for granted. 1 BILLION people on this planet do not get clean water and enough to eat, but Americans claim "everything is crap" because gas costs 50 cents more than before world wide inflation brought on by the war in Ukraine and Covid, which the GOP still pretends is just a liberal hoax.
I hope you have a better day on the way
@@willchristie2650 I suggest cutting back on that second cup of coffee.
same
@@willchristie2650 its crap because we live in a world where in the last 8 years men have started getting pregnant kids are getting groomed in schools and the side agaist this bs is apparently delusional
Thanks! I'd love to see a video regarding Moses and the Reed sea theory vs the red sea...
AJ I’m surprised you didn’t become a detective. Very thorough into your subjects. Another great episode.
@Mighty has come nahh G, he just left the big boys and came to us. He must definitely was a producer or similar on nationally broadcasted show. Trust me I'm on IMDB, I should look for him
He ultimately debunks everything. I think this channel is planted by the government to debunk everything in a clever way.
Wouldn't surprise me. If you read his IMDb page it says "Writes software for use in government agencies." Under his trivia section. Might not be true and some random person wrote it but seems odd. Fun content at least.
I love that AJ ended it by very subtly baiting Andrew into stepping back into the light. Classy and clever.
I thought the same thing!! And the biggest problem is his sister not posting anything on social media about his death knowing she posts every day, is enough for me to know ok this dude is full of crap.. It’s easy to find out if you really wanted to.. go to the town his wife lives in or the town his sister lives in, and you will eventually find them, and then you will find out the truth on if he really did die or it’s all fake.. also I was thinking about how AJ said he was trying to make it big in music.. when a musician dies and they are “famous” their music sells like crazy.. so is that also an angle maybe he’s trying to pull? Like creating a wild story to gain an even bigger following and then make it seem like the crazy story was the demise of your life and obviously your career to the literal point of death.. So in turn your music will sell like crazy and you don’t really have to work anymore, you can just be a dad and family man and still be able to provide for them because of the music sales.. it’s almost like he retired.. while also pulling off “one of the biggest internet pranks” it’s really a win win situation for him if he’s not dead.. but if he’s dead then obviously RIP.. I’m just stating my opinion/theory..
@@kevinledvina9387 Yes I agree. And someone else who knew him said this is true
@@kevinledvina9387 I saw somewhere that he really is dead, committed suicide, and the speculation behind the cause is that his relationship with his partner broke down and was highly depressed. Personally, it stinks of foul play and his life history being erased is highly suspicious. But that's just me, always open minded, never sure of anything.
@@kevinledvina9387 I got to agree with ya on this one man. Cheers!!
@@kevinledvina9387 hey I'll just book a flight from Liverpool and hire a mountain bike when I get there, hold on 🙃
was convincing at the beginning and broke apart in second half hahaha. Very good
Thank you for adding the debunking aspect to your videos. Its already difficult enough for some people to navigate what's true and what isn't. Your videos are fun but grounded in reality which makes them great. Keep it up and I hope your channel becomes the biggest of KZhead.
Spot on, the internet should give him an award for his investigating and debunking as a model code of conduct for everyone. Or we should just gatekeep the internet with a critical thinking test, that would get rid of 99% of conspiracy theories that act as cover for the real stuff 😂
The fact that it's obituary read he was born in1947 and did 2022 . It means he was 75 and looked like 45
I love how your reports are always so balanced. You give us the info and allow us to make up our own decisions. Thanks for all you do.
Yes! I love it. And straight to the point lol
