What an eccentric and creepy character! Really interesting.

He kind of feels like a horror movie villain.

So interesting. I hadn’t heard about this. I live near the Great Salt Lake so this is extra spooky 👻

I've always loved studying history and folklore and, growing up in Utah, I had an affinity for Utah and Mormon folklore in particular. I enjoy the tale of Jean Baptiste because it feels like the origin story of a horror movie antagonist.

It’s definitely got “origin story” vibes. You should write one!

I've got a rough idea for a good horror story based around that legend kicking around in my head, I think I may turn it into a short story or novella at some point in the near future.
