Few stories have captivated the imagination of believers and skeptics alike like the mysterious account of the Giant of Kandahar. In a recent appearance on the Ninjas Are Butterflies podcast, author and researcher L.A. Marzulli stunned listeners by revisiting his original investigation into what he believes was a real encounter between U.S. soldiers and a towering giant during the war in Afghanistan.

Marzulli explained that his team was the first to break the story through his Watchers documentary series after interviewing a soldier who claimed to have witnessed and killed the creature. The man, according to Marzulli, described a 12 to 14 foot tall humanoid with fiery red hair, six fingers on each hand and a spear large enough to impale a man.
Marzulli said the witness broke down multiple times while recounting the event, describing a gruesome battle that left one soldier dead and the giant decapitated after heavy gunfire. He claimed the military later ordered the patrol to rewrite their report removing all mention of the creature before a massive transport helicopter carried the body away.
Adding to the mystery, Marzulli said other soldiers later confirmed they were told during cave combat training to “aim high” around nine or ten feet if they ever encountered something unusual. He also recounted claims from an alleged government insider who said multiple giant bodies were shipped to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for genetic testing and possible military research.
Marzulli believes these accounts may be evidence of modern day Nephilim, the giants mentioned in Genesis 6 that lived on the earth both before and after the Flood. Scripture records that the Nephilim were the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men,” and that giants like the Anakim and Rephaim appeared again in the Old Testament. Whether viewed as myth, cover up or biblical revelation, the story of the Kandahar Giant continues to raise unsettling questions about what lies buried in the shadows of human history.
