When we talk about how big these creatures are you get an idea of the size difference looking at Robert Wadlow compared to a normal person.
Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940), also known as the Alton Giant and the Giant of Illinois, was an American who became famous as the tallest person in recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He was born and raised in Alton, Illinois.
Wadlow reached 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) in height and weighed 490 lb (220 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hyperplasia of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Why did he die at such an early age?

I looked that up and read that he suffered from a lack of feeling in his legs requiring the use of braces. One of the braces rubbed a small blister which became infected and caused his death. I think he probably lived with a lot of discomfort in his short life.

That truly is astonishing to see that perspective of just how tall nearly nine feet is when compared to the size of a normal person.
Bigfoot is one BIG bad@$$!

To be fair that bloke he is photographed with is a shortarse.
The Sheila in the thumbnail is taller.

That shortarse bloke is at least 6ft tall. You can do the math yourself with a ruler and a calculator.

If the third photo was taken when Robert was at full height, the man beside him was about six feet tall, adjusting for shoes.
