This conspiracy was recounted from Latter-Day Saints prophet Spencer Kimball in the 1970s.

Kimball retold of an earlier story about David Patten, from the 1800s, who was considered an apostle by the LDS church.

The story details how Patten was riding on a mule when he came across 'a strange personage'.

This figure was said to be really tall, 'naked' but also 'covered in hair'. We know what you're thinking: Bigfoot?

Well, just wait until the end of the story.

Patten states that this 'strange' figure he saw was actually Cain, from the Cain and Abel story.

And, according to Patten, after killing his brother, Cain was 'cursed' and couldn't die, so he wandered the Earth aimlessly until he took up a mission 'to destroy the souls of men'.

Patten, learning of this and being a good LDS apostle, naturally rebuked the mysterious man in the name of Jesus Christ and sent him on his way.

However, according to Brown, Cain turning up to random LDS apostles wasn't the wild conspiracy here, apparently that's just 'Mormon folklore'.

The wild part is yet to come and if you guessed Bigfoot from the description earlier, you weren't far off what Brown was taught.

Let's think about this guys, big dude, hairy, walking around in the middle of nowhere?

Cain is Bigfoot!
