Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story \u2013 and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it\u2019s still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant\u2019s Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it\u2019s natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don\u2019t believe you? We\u2019ll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** (Originally aired April 23, 2021)
