TopicHeard in 2 episodes across 1 show since Jul 2026
The Kandahar Giant is a popular modern military myth and internet hoax about an alleged 13-foot-tall, red-haired humanoid with six fingers and double rows of teeth. According to the legend, which was first popularized by radio host Steve Quayle, the creature was encountered and killed by a squad of U.S. soldiers in the mountains of Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2002. Mainstream investigators and military officials classify the story as an urban legend with no verifiable evidence or official documentation.
