In the Bible, giants occur in many section, most notably in the story of David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17).
Genesis 6:4 tells us where giants come from:
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
In the Hebrew text, the word Nephilim is used, and is generally accepted to mean that Angels took human women as wives, producing a hybrid race that existed before the Great Flood. After the flood, giants existed in several different tribes/races: Anakim (Deuteronomy 2), Emim, Zamzummim, Amorites, and Rephaim.
Some people have suggested that the demon is actually the spirits of the Nephilim killed by the Great Flood.
