L.A. Marzulli: The Nephilim Giants of Catalina Island (Video)

Fifteen-year-old Ralph Glidden moved to Catalina Island way back in 1896 – it is a strip of land that is part of The Channel Islands just west of Los Angeles.

Not long after he had arrived on the island he decided to go on a search mission to find out more about his new, exciting surroundings. During this initial search he discovered a human skull protruding from an area of dirt.

This find awoke an interest in archaeology that would never leave him.

Ralph & The Giants

The young man slowly became obsessed with the archaeology of his new surroundings and during his lifetime he dug up more than 800 grave sites, finding more than 4000 human skeletons. He wanted to find out everything about these ancient native Americans that had inhabited his new island home.

Ralph also claimed that there once lived an ancient race of giants on his island. These giants had a much larger bone structure when compared to the more typical native corpses he dug up.

Over time Ralph came to realise that these giants were actually worshipped by the native American islanders – He began to find their large bones carefully buried in ceremonial urns. These urns would often be found surrounded by corpses of young children.

The Catalina Island Giants – A Hoax?

Unfortunately Ralph decided to keep his findings to himself until AFTER his sponsor had dropped him. By this point the archaeology community didn’t believe a word he was saying – surely this was a desperate attempt to bring in new sponsorship?

Ralph stuck to his guns and continually backed his own findings on the giants but it was no use – his peers were not interested in the ramblings (or lies) of an amateur archaeologist.

Unfortunately not one of these peers took the time to visit the island and check out Ralph’s findings for themselves…which is very strange really!

The Truth?

Over the years numerous people have come forward stating that Ralph was telling the truth about the Catalina Island giants.

There have been reports from people claiming they were there when he uncovered one of these huge corpses and reports that he actually showcased his findings on the island itself.

It was also later reported that in 1913 a German naturalist uncovered an skeleton over eight foot in length on a neighbouring island – was this tall creature a close relation to Ralph’s Catalina Island giants?
