In 1894, John Hyrum Koyle, a Utah Mormon, received a message from the Angel Moroni in his dreams. Moroni, a major prophet of the Mormons and the Latter Day Saint theological movement, instructed Koyle to tunnel a mine through a mountainside located in Salem, Utah, where he would uncover gold and riches that would provide untold financial wealth and security to the church and all its believers, especially through the end times.
From abandoned mines to lost Aztec gold and Spanish treasures, Utah has its fair share of legends. Whether they re true or not these stories are sure to get you out the door to do some digging!\n
