As the clip played on, the boy—Mara’s brother, Finn—lifted Bibigon to his shoulder. The creature made a sound like a wind chime, then hopped to the swing and began to speak in a language of clicks and sighs that the camera’s microphone rendered into high, wavering tones. Subtitles had been added later in shaky handwriting: “Can we keep him?”
Given the internet culture of the time, it is highly possible the file was a deliberate "bait." Someone renamed a file full of jump scares, loud noises, and creepy visuals as "Bibigon" specifically to prank parents or unsuspecting children looking for the innocent gnome story. It is a precursor to the "screamers" that would later plague the internet.
Descriptions vary depending on who you ask—a hallmark of internet folklore—but the most consistent account describes a creepypasta-like experience.
