The Giant of Kandahar


The Giant of Kandahar was a gigantic humanoid beast that a group of American army personnel purportedly discovered and killed on a mountaintop in Afghanistan.

According to the allegations, in his popular radio show "Coast to Coast," Steven Quayle discussed an incident currently classified by the U.S. government: A U.S. Army platoon went AWOL in a desolate area of Afghanistan in 2002. To find out what had happened, a "special operations task team" (unknown branch, likely Rangers, given that the missing unit was Army) was dispatched, and the soldiers proceeded down a rugged, steep track until they reached the entrance of a massive cave. Broken military equipment and gear from the United States were strewn throughout the clearing. When a 12-15 foot red-headed, six-digit, double-toothed humanoid appeared and attacked the soldiers, the task force would enter the cave to explore its depths.


The monster then attacked the remainder of the squad, impaling 'one of the soldiers' with a gigantic spear. According to the witness, the beast was brought down after 30 seconds of steady fire.

The squad was equipped with full-auto M4 carbines, semi-automatic "recon carbines," and M107 Barrett anti-materiel rifles. BMG 50. This much firepower focussed on a single target for even a fraction of a second, let alone thirty, would be devastating.


The witness said the monster reeked like dead carcasses and wore canvas or animal leather wraps to protect its feet like moccasins. A helicopter and a net were used to carry the creature's body back to the squad's base. It was then loaded into a plane and flown away, never to be seen again.

The soldiers were forced to sign non-disclosure paperwork upon their return to prevent knowledge of their encounter from spreading. According to the witness, he broke his silence because "people have a right to know what's going on our planet."


Hoax

The Giant of Kandahar is a hoax, as there is no record of the incident with the Department of Defense. This legend is thought to have been developed or substantially influenced by L.A. Marzulli, a novelist, blogger, and filmmaker.
