Podcast: Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories
Published On: Thu Sep 04 2025
Description: 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.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN 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.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:01:52.141 = Show OpenPART ONE…00:03:25.269 = The Physical Evidence00:05:25.662 = History Accounts Before Pop Culture00:06:34.417 = The Modern Surge00:08:10.834 = Audio Evidence00:08:58.799 = The Patterson Problem00:10:12.280 = Native Knowledge00:10:57.241 = The Gigantopithecus Theory00:11:43.981 = The Hoax Problem00:12:46.134 = Current Research00:13:43.306 = The Witness Problem00:14:56.692 = The Tennessee TwistPART TWO…00:16:51.597 = The Wandering Curse00:19:07.823 = How A Dead Apostle’s Story Survived00:20:50.673 = The Bigfoot Connection Emerges00:22:06.801 = Other Mormon Cain Encounters00:23:19.202 = The Problem of the Flood00:25:32.407 = Modern Believers and Their Evidence00:27:46.665 = The Wanderer Transformed00:28:48.708 = Alternative Theories of Eternal Cain00:30:06.082 = What the Mormon Church Actually Teaches00:31:25.087 = The Persistence of MysteryPART THREE…00:33:14.974 = What Cain Really Teaches Us00:34:38.539 = The Danger of Missing the Point00:35:42.140 = Modern Day Cains Walking Among Us00:36:47.120 = What About Those Who Claim They’ve Seen Something?00:38:05.741 = The Real Mark You Should Worry About00:39:18.589 = Breaking Free From Your Own Wandering00:40:12.119 = Practical Steps for Daily Victory00:41:56.064 = The Conclusion No One Expects00:45:08.770 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…https://weirddarkness.com/BigfootAndCain=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
