Thanks much.
I don't doubt that the watchers involved at that time were so imprisoned.
What about those who weren't but are now?
I don't know that it would necessarily be the same race or whatever one would call them. And, I don't know that giants would be the result. But it still smacks of evil doings--the sort of which God would not be well pleased about. And for it all to be either happening anew or to have escalated to alarming proportions in our era--it's interesting that it's so widely reported in some circles.
And why now? Unless this IS the end times era.
Thank you for your questions!

I am not aware of any Watchers being designated, sinning and subsequently imprisoned after the Noah flood judgment. I am also not aware of any prophesies of such in Scripture.
And, I don't know that giants would be the result.
That giants were the result of angels breeding with mortal women is in Genesis 6:1-4 and also in Enoch. There is a dispute about size - 300 cubits or 3000 cubits.
And the women became pregnant and gave birth to great giants whose heights were three hundred cubits. These (giants) consumed the produce of all the people until the people detested feeding them. So the giants turned against (the people) in order to eat them. And they began to sin against birds, wild beasts, reptiles, and fish. And their flesh was devoured the one by the other, and they drank blood. And then the earth brought an accusation against the oppressors.
Such a huge eating machine would be hard to miss. To me, the description (size and conduct) sounds a lot like the various dragon myths of old. (Perhaps the dragons of folklore were legends handed down from experiences with these giants?) At any rate, according to Enoch - when the Watchers were judged by God, they pled for their children, these giants. God destroyed the children's bodies but their spirits have roamed the earth ever since as the evil spirits, unclean spirits or demons - whereas their fathers (the angels who sinned) were chained in darkness for the final judgment. (Jude 1:6, 2 Peter 2:4-5)
