Kandahar Giant S2 Ep.029

In this chilling episode of That’s Effin Weird, host Stevenson dives into one of the most controversial modern cryptid legends—the Kandahar Giant. Said to have emerged from the rugged mountains near Kandahar during the early years of the War in Afghanistan, this towering, red-haired humanoid has become the center of a story that blurs the line between military secrecy and myth. According to the tale, a U.S. Special Forces unit investigating a missing patrol encountered a massive, human-like creature lurking near a cave system. What followed was a violent and deadly confrontation—one that allegedly ended with the creature being taken down and quietly removed, never to be officially acknowledged again. No reports, no records… just whispers. Stevenson breaks down the timeline, the supposed eyewitness details, and how the story exploded years later through shows like Coast to Coast AM. Was this a hidden chapter of modern warfare, a surviving relic of ancient giants, or simply a well-crafted legend that took on a life of its own?
