Guadalcanal is best known for the brutal World War Two battles fought across its jungles. But the people who actually live in the Solomon Islands tell a story the history books leave out. They say they share their islands with giants.
Not a legend from the distant past. A living presence. An Australian helicopter pilot named Marius Boirayon spent years on the islands, married a local woman, and earned the trust of villagers who described the same thing over and over. Beings far taller than any man, some said over ten feet, with long hair, heavy brows, and reddish eyes, living deep in the interior mountains. Boirayon gathered these accounts into a book in 2010, and what struck him was how consistent they were among people who had never met.
The islanders treat it as ordinary fact. They point to caves they will not enter and stretches of bush they avoid after dark. They describe oversized footprints turning up around remote villages and work sites. Even during the war, there were scattered reports from soldiers of enormous figures glimpsed in the hills.
What if there are still corners of this planet so remote, and so rarely entered, that something the size of a legend could go on living there, unbothered by the modern world?
Tall tales handed down through generations, or a real population hidden in the highlands? What do you think the people of Guadalcanal keep seeing?
What do you think about this? Today is the equinox, and at Chichén Itzá a serpent of light will crawl down a pyramid built with 365 steps. Clap at its base and the echo chirps like the sacred quetzal bird. Brilliant engineering, or knowledge from somewhere older?
What do you think about this? Scans of Gunung Padang in Indonesia show hidden chambers deep inside the hill, and one team dated its oldest layers to 25,000 years ago. The study was retracted in 2024. The chambers have never been opened. Natural hill, or the oldest pyramid on Earth?
What do you think about this? Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 trance readings, all written down and still on file. He said proof of Atlantis would rise near Bimini in 1968. That year divers found a half mile road of giant stone blocks there. True seer, or lucky guess?
What do you think about this? Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky built a 500 foot tunnel just to move its dead out of sight of the living. It closed in 1961. Visitors still report a boy rolling a ball across empty floors. Restless spirits, or a dark building playing tricks on the mind?
What do you think about this? In 1891, a poor French priest named Bérenger Saunière began tearing up his church floor, then spent the next two decades funding lavish buildings on a stipend that should not have covered it. Real treasure, or a secret about how he ran his church?
What do you think about this? Puma Punku’s H-shaped stone blocks, cut from andesite by a culture dating to roughly 600 CE, are flat to within a couple millimeters, with no known metal tools hard enough to do it. Lost technique, or something we haven’t caught up to yet?
