  Somewhere there is a group of giants sitting around a fire telling stories of the great chief thunderbeard’s battle with a warband of dwarves.

  I deployed to Iraq in 2005 and we of course stopped in Kuwait to do a two week climatize lay over. Another soldier and I got tasked to go clear a part of the  desert for Bedouin’s or camels or anything that could be hit when we did our live fire excessive. We came over a small dune and basically went nose first in to the beginning of a very very large cave type hole. There was an extremely huge black serpent looking creature not even 25 meters away from us just inside this opening. It was humungous. Shiny black with yellowish like eyes. The only thing I can compare it to is the black dragon from “train your dragon” ( one of my kids favorite movies lol ) anyway when we came up on this thing it shook violently which caused sand to come down in all directions and it was gone… we drove back in silence, tried to tell the PL but he was so lost in the task at hand he barley even listened. True story man! I know people will say I’m bs’ing but whatever. Saw some crazy sht in Afganistán as well. Old countries have old secrets.

  I love how Snopes claimed to have "debunked" the story of the Kandahar giant after they asked the Department of Defense because they denied it.

  I&apos;m Afghan American. I asked my in-laws that were from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, whether tales of giants were common. My mother-in-law looked me square in the eye and told me &quot;there&apos;s a lot more in those mountains than just giants.&quot; <br><br>Also, the people are Afghans not Afghanis. An Afghani is currency. It&apos;s like calling an American a dollar.

  These same red haired giants are in Indians stories in Winemucca, NV. A couple of decades ago, my dad and I were there buying property and happened across a small museum there. We went in, just curious, and checked thungs out. Inside they had a couple of huge skulls and a few huge, obviously human type bones there. Small chunks of reddish hair still attached to the skulls. Well, not too long ago, the skulls were gone and I asked the curator where they were? He said that the Smithsonian in D.C. wanted to study them and they sent them there, but when they wanted them back, the Smithsonian told them that the remains were &quot;lost in their system and couldn&apos;t be located.&quot; So much for transparency and honesty from the Smithsonian.

  Even in 29 palms we&apos;ve had weird things go on. 2 of my friends were road guards at the entrance to a live fire range we were training at. They were about a mile out at the entrance and had their own LAV-25 for transport. The 2nd night we were out there, they were inside heating up MRE&apos;s and trying to stay warm in the desert winter. They heard something approaching them thinking it was leadership trying to enter the range on foot. Before they could look out of the sight glass, the whole vehicle lightly shook. They thought it was someone pranking them. Then the 12 1/2 ton vehicle violently shook. They felt like it was about to tip over. They had rifles but no ammo. So they didn&apos;t dare step outside. After the shaking stopped, they looked out of all sights trying to see what the hell shook a 12 ton vehicle (they&apos;re rated at 14 tons when fully loaded). One of them claimed to have seen a dark figure over 9 feet tall walking away. They turned the vehicle on to use the optics out of the turret. They didn&apos;t get to fully see it as it vanished in the hillside of the entrance. They stood up all night trying to get someone to bring them ammo. Our leadership thought they were trying to prank them but they legit wanted it in a report. Weird shit happened there tok when the Army Air Corps used to own that mikitary installation before being sold to the Marine Corps. I&apos;ve even witnessed an active volcanic crater (active as in warm all the time from thermal vents) that kept joshua trees alive in its pit then conpletely vanished the day after. Not even the roots remained. The high desert of California is a creepy place.

  I am a native of Kandahar. When I was a child, this was a famous saying to scare us. If you do this bad thing ( Dew) mean gaint creature will come from mountain and eat you. &nbsp;This was even heard from old men in many parts of Kandahar. Repeated form generation to generation. I don&apos;t know if it&apos;s a myth or a fact.

  I am a combat infantry veteran who saw a very large person through a CROW systems thermal that was mounted on top of the vehicle I was in. This was in the kandahar region in 2011.

  What&apos;s very fascinating is that I&apos;m First Nations and we have stories of Cannibal Caucasian Giants with long hair and beards, six fingers and two rows of teeth that lived in the mountains east of the Ohio River Valley up until around 500 years ago &nbsp;that our ancestors used to go to war with and several rival tribes eventually teamed up to kill them because they were all sick of being preyed on by them.

  I love that there&apos;s no cheap horror here. The atmosphere is thick and spooky thanks to great art, acting and sound design
