In 1835, a Mormon apostle claimed he met Cain on a Tennessee road. Today, some believers think Bigfoot sightings are actually encounters with the Bible's first murderer, cursed to wander the earth forever. We examine the evidence, the theology, and what this strange theory reveals about ourselves.

IN THIS EPISODE: We're diving into one of the strangest theories ever proposed about Bigfoot's identity. We'll explore the Mormon folklore that suggests Sasquatch isn't an undiscovered ape, but rather the cursed son of Adam and Eve, still walking the earth as punishment for murdering his brother Abel. We'll examine the evidence believers cite, as well as the theological problems that make scholars skeptical – and certain podcasters who are skeptical about it too.Whether you're a cryptozoology enthusiast, a student of religion, or just someone who loves a good mystery or strange story, prepare yourself for a journey that blurs the lines between ancient scripture and modern monster sightings.
