Yes, though you might be disappointed to find out what "giant" means in the case of the octopus.

Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, the "Colossal Squid", is indeed pretty big. The largest documented example weighed about a half ton, and was around 10m (33 ft) in total length; it's estimated that larger individuals exist.

The largest octopus is much more modest in size. The two main contenders are Haliphron atlanticus (Seven-arm Octopus) and Enteroctopus Dofleini (Giant Pacific Octopus). The largest known individual of both species was around 70-75kg live (the Seven-arm Octopus specimen was partial, so its total live weight is an estimate). Total length (arm span) is estimated to be in the vicinity of 4m (14 ft).

Yes . Giant squid do exist yet nobody has seen them* apart from when their dead bodies are washed up to shore. Yet we are sure that deep , deeeeeeep down in the murky dark depths of the ocean where no human or ape with even the slightest bit of sense would go , we are sure they live there perhaps all together in harmony as we**do

*that has lived to tell the tale.

**except for the wars we had and that ridiculous fight over a hat

*seen them and lived to tell the tale
