There’s a Mormon tale about a man in mormon church history meeting “bigfoot” (or at least what people call him). He kind of popped out of nowhere walking alongside him and his head was higher than his was even though he was on a horse. He was naked and hairy and said his name was Cain, and that he still walked the earth because his punishment for killing Abel was that he would be a byword and a vagabond until the end of times. Then the man commanded him to depart in the name of Jesus and he vanished. Craziest story I ever heard from Mormon history but now…hmm…
Never heard that one, but did hear about the two guys who were still alive from Jesus's time and were picked up as hitch hikers by a lot of members. Rather like when we were told that when the dead sea scrolls were discovered, no one could read them until a BYU professor was called in to show them the way. I remembered that tale when I visited the scroll museum and our guide could read them in the same Hebrew language taught every six year old Israeli. Like how mitt romney killed someone in a car accident in France, but mitt ended up the hero because he also died but got resurrected.
I had not heard that one, but I've heard about The Wandering Jew for a long time, including from two relatives who he walked by in the wilderness many years ago. Everything went silent, all the animals, even the wind. And a heavy, steady thudding sound like from a very long stride from a very large person approached behind them. They're not chickens by any means but they were absolutely frozen as it passed right behind them and they did not turn to look. After the atmosphere returned to normal, they tore back home, cancelling the whole outdoors trip. Didn't talk about it for years.

Oh, the tales i was told were pretty endless.
