Case No. #1175
Periodic Infrasound, Gigantic Footprints, and Sightings of Unknown Giant Organism in Canaima National Park, Venezuela
Summary
In July 2019, inexplicable periodic infrasound and extensive vegetation destruction were reported to authorities in the deep jungles of the Gran Sabana region within Canaima National Park, Venezuela. The phenomena are particularly prominent on full moon nights during the rainy season, with gigantic footprints and drag marks in the mud found in multiple locations. Connections to "Forest Giants" from local indigenous legends are suggested, leading authorities to suspect the presence of an unidentified creature and initiate continuous investigation. These phenomena cannot be explained by normal wildlife activity, and concerns exist regarding their impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
Details
In the early hours of July 14, 2019, an exploration team on routine patrol discovered anomalies in the Gran Sabana region of Canaima National Park. They documented massive fallen trees and unknown footprints, approximately one meter wide, deeply imprinted in the muddy ground. Surrounding vegetation was unnaturally crushed, clearly indicating the passage of a large creature.
Since the initial discovery, similar reports have reached authorities on multiple occasions. Particularly on full moon nights, automated recording devices in the vicinity consistently capture ultra-low frequency sounds below the human audible range. This infrasound accompanies vibrations strong enough to shake the ground, and local indigenous communities attribute it to "Duju," a forest giant or earth spirit described in their ancient oral traditions.
Since March 2020, authorities have dispatched investigative teams to the area multiple times. These teams confirmed large footprint patterns consistent across a radius of approximately five kilometers and observed specific types of trees destroyed as if selectively targeted. Soil samples collected revealed trace amounts of organic compounds of unknown biological origin, but specific species identification remains elusive.
Automated cameras installed by the investigative team occasionally captured indistinct footage of a gigantic shadow moving rapidly through the dense jungle at night. However, its form was always obscured by fog or foliage, preventing clear identification. High-performance thermal cameras also detected momentary massive heat signatures, but failed to track the subject continuously, which vanished abruptly from the observation area.
Explaining these phenomena consistently, even considering local weather conditions, geological activity, and known wildlife ecology, proves challenging. Specifically, the footprints found in multiple locations are peculiar, not matching the movement patterns of any known existing creature. Some biologists suggest the possibility of ancient, relict species surviving in an isolated environment, but definitive proof is lacking.
Authorities currently classify this "Shadow of Gran Sabana" incident as involving an unidentified biological entity, conducting continuous monitoring and data collection. Prioritized objectives include pinpointing the source of the infrasound and conducting biological analysis of the footprints. The unique ecosystem and deep traditions of this region still conceal much.
Timeline
- Early hours, July 14, 2019Exploration team discovers gigantic footprints and vegetation destruction in the Gran Sabana region.
- August - December 2019Automated recording devices capture periodic ultra-low frequency sounds. Local residents testify to the presence of "Duju."
- March 2020Authorities dispatch investigative teams. Multiple surveys confirm similar footprints and destruction patterns.

- From 2021 onwardsAuthorities conduct continuous monitoring and data collection. New traces are sporadically discovered.
Witness Testimony
Witness A (Geological Surveyor, July 2019)When I saw those footprints, all the blood drained from my face. That wasn't a bear or a jaguar. It was far more massive. And that deep silence. Not even a bird's cry could be heard.
Witness B (Indigenous Guide, April 2020)At night, a low sound, like the forest breathing, can be heard. It is the voice of Duju. The forest spirit, an angry giant. Our ancestors feared it too.
Witness C (Investigative Team Member, September 2020)I thought I saw glowing eyes in the distance, in the bushes. The thermal camera reacted, but it vanished before we could pursue. Something is there. Definitely.
Kyu's Analysis
Biological explanation proves difficult. This region's peculiar phenomena necessitate deeper investigation. Hidden truths exist.
