What do you get when you mix Mormon folklore, an angelic visitation, and a supposed Nephite treasure buried in a Utah hillside? You get one of the strangest, most persistent sagas in LDS history: the story of John Hyrum Koyle and the Dream Mine. In this episode, we dig into the bizarre and fascinating tale of a humble Mormon bishop who claimed Angel Moroni showed him an ancient gold cache meant to rescue the Church in the last days. From visions and prophecies to excommunication and conspiracy, the Dream Mine became a battleground between grassroots revelation and institutional control—and it still has believers buying stock today. Join us as we explore the wild intersection of faith, finance, folklore, and failed prophecy. Whether you’re a questioning Mormon, a history nerd, or just here for the gold-digging angels, this is one you don’t want to miss.
