Paranormal investigator and author Scotty Roberts his research into the Nephilim and
their origins. He explained that his investigation of the infamous entities focused
on the language of the original Hebrew texts where they are described. As such, he
dismissed the popular notion that the Nephilim were "fallen angels," since the entities
are never given that moniker. Rather, they are said to be the result of a union between
"watchers"
and humans. Roberts theorized that the creation of the Nephilim could
be traced all the way back to the Garden of Eden and a dalliance between
Eve and an entity metaphorically called a "serpent." As to the origins
of these "visitors" who played a hand in creating the Nephilim, he
acknowledged that they could have been spiritual beings, "minor Gods,"
or even extraterrestrials.
Ultimately, Roberts said, these
Nephilim are blamed for corrupting the human race by sharing forbidden
knowledge with them, a theme appears in many creation stories. In light
of this corruption, he surmised, the great flood of Noah's Ark lore was
orchestrated not to punish the corrupt humans, but to wipe away the
presence of the Nephilim on Earth. However, Roberts suggested that the
Nephilim may still be on the planet as what we call "demons." He cited a
passage in the book of Enoch which says that the "spirits" of the
Nephilim that died in the flood remained on Earth in a ghostly form to
"wreak the same havoc, from a spirit form, on humanity that they wreaked
while in physical form."

The Nephilim
(play /ˈnɛfɨˌlɪm/) were the offspring of the "sons of God" and the
"daughters of men" according to Genesis 6:4; and gigantic men who
inhabited Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors.

Fallen angel is a concept that is
typically synonymous with a wicked or rebellious angel. As the actual
term fallen angel is not found in either the Hebrew Bible or the
Deuterocanonical Books or the New Testament, biblical commentators use
this term to describe angels who sinned or angels cast down to the earth
from the War in Heaven, Satan, demons, or certain Watchers.
A
Jewish myth of angels coming down to earth rather than being cast down,
referred to as the myth of angelic descent, is found chiefly in the
Jewish pseudepigraphic Book of Enoch, 6-9 and the Qumran Book of Giants
and perhaps in Genesis 6:1-4. The angels in question were Watchers who
were inveigled by the beauty of human women, had intercourse with them
and corrupted mankind.They were the prime instigators of the sinfulness
that led to the Great Deluge.This myth was adopted by early
Christianity, but abandoned by Rabbinic Judaism and later Christianity.
During the period immediately before the rise of Christianity, the
intercourse between these Watchers and human women was often seen as the
first fall of the angels.
