Mormon Leaders' Encounters: The Kane Creature & Bigfoot Link

Have you ever heard of the Mormon folklore surrounding Cain and Bigfoot? If not, you're in for a fascinating read. Recently, I came across a video on YouTube from the channel Latter Day Smarts that delves into this very topic. The video discusses the account of Mormon Apostle David W Patten, who claimed to have encountered a hairy, dark-skinned man while riding his mule in Tennessee in 1835. According to Patten, the man had no home and was a wandering creature, whose mission was to destroy the souls of men. Patten rebuked the man in the name of Jesus Christ, and he immediately disappeared. This account was included in Spencer W Kimball's book "The Miracle of Forgiveness" to illustrate the consequences of sinning against the light. Years later, Wesley Smith, the son of Mormon prophet Joseph F Smith, claimed to have seen a similar being while serving as a mission president in Hawaii. Smith described the creature as a tall man with protruding eyes, wild-looking eyes, and long fingernails, who appeared in his room the night before the dedication of the Laie Hawaii Temple. When Smith commanded the being to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, a light appeared in his right hand, and the creature immediately departed. The video also explores the belief among some Mormons that Cain, the biblical figure who killed his brother Abel, is the same creature that people are seeing when they claim to see Bigfoot. This belief is based on the idea that Cain was cursed and became a "son of perdition," who was destined to wander the earth without a home or family. As a curator of interesting videos and articles related to Bigfoot, I found this video to be a unique and intriguing take on the subject. While there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that Cain is Bigfoot, it's fascinating to explore the different beliefs and folklore surrounding this elusive creature. If you're interested in learning more about Mormon folklore and its connection to Bigfoot, I encourage you to watch the video and do your own research. Who knows, you might just discover a new perspective on this fascinating topic.
