  • Summary

  • In 1844, thousands of Americans gave away their homes, abandoned their crops in the fields, and quit their jobs to prepare for Jesus's return on October 22nd. After a Baptist preacher decoded "hidden" biblical mathematics, his followers made white robes and climbed hilltops to await the Second Coming. What happened next created one of the most dramatic mass disappointments in American religious history - and spawned entirely new religions that exist to this day. Join us for the strange true story of the Great Disappointment, when the faithful waited in the snow for a prophecy that never came true.
