Case Overview
What happened at Angola Pigman?
The Angola Pigman is a Western New York urban legend centred on Holland Road near Angola, where night drivers and locals have traded stories for decades about a violent, pig-faced (or pig-mask) figure haunting the woods by the railroad overpass/bridge. The core tale paints him as a butcher, often axe-wielding. Older retellings claiming pig heads mounted on stakes to warn off trespassers. Folklore frequently ties the road’s dread to the nearby 1867 “Angola Horror” derailment and fire which led to 50 deaths.
