THE KANDAHAR GIANT A SPECIAL FORCES URBAN LEGEND

from 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries Podcast · host me

In 2002,, according to this legend, a special forces unit which had been sent to find a missing patrol  in the remote mountain area of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, encountered a 12 foot tall giant just outside a cave mouth, the floor of which was littered with bones and pieces of communication equipment. The Giatnt carried a spear, with which he attacked on of the soldiers, running the spear through him, all the while growling and showing signs of wanting to kill them all. They began firing and eventually the giant fell dead. he was picked up by a helicopter using a cargo net and removed from the area. The soldier who had been speared died. The event was hushed- again, according to legend. Author and giant hunter L.A.Marzulli and partner have brought the story to life through  books (The Long Walker- The Return of the Nephalim) and Interviews (On The Trail of the Nephalim) as they continue the search for biblical creatures called Nephalim which may still inhabit remote areas of the Kandahar Province.  In this story we also dig into the biblical accounts of giants (Nephalim) and giant folklore home and abroad, including written accounts of giants given by Capt. John Smith, A Paiute storyteller,  and hunter-showman Buffalo Bill Cody.
