Sentinel Circle Investigates: The Kandahar Giant

Deep in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, a legend claims that U.S. Special Forces encountered—and killed—a 13-foot red-haired giant in 2002. Known as the "Kandahar Giant," this tale describes a creature with six-fingered hands, double rows of teeth, and exceptional strength. According to accounts, it impaled a soldier before being felled by sustained gunfire and airlifted away under non-disclosure orders .

Yet when Snopes and the Department of Defense were asked about this incident, they found no records of such an encounter or any deceased giant—suggesting the story is a myth or hoax . The tale seems fueled by conspiracy circles, paranormal shows, and biblical references to the Nephilim—an ancient race of giants in Genesis .

So why has the legend persisted? Psychological stress in combat zones, misidentifications, and a cultural appetite for mystery all play a role . Similar folklore exists worldwide—from Afghanistan's “dew” giants to the Native American Si-Te‑Cah tales, hinting at how societies create giants to explain the unknown .

In this video, we'll separate fact from fiction by tracing the legend's origins, examining witness claims, understanding cultural and mythological parallels, and evaluating the hard evidence—or lack thereof. By the end, you'll grasp why the Kandahar Giant endures in our collective imagination, even without a corpse to show for it.
