They live under interstate highways. In New Orleans, they call them the "pig people." The locals say they're cannibals and their noses are upturned, like a pig. At least that's what was told to me on Carrollton and Tulane the other night. At about two in the morning. I just had coffee with Danita and I took the streetcar back to school. But I had to transfer to a bus. The bus wasn't coming anytime soon, so I figured I might as well walk.

| The pig people purportedly live under the interstate in New Orleans |
Home was only five blocks away. But I was afraid of walking underneath the overpass at night. The interstate loomed before me like a badly placed skateboard park. From my room at Notre Dame, the blinking lights of vehicles communicate to me during REM sleep, the balustrades to commerce, concrete effigies that simultaneously (concurrently) hold up the little modules of despair, racing through our fair country, while harboring pig people down below in her concrete bosom.
So I decided not to risk an encounter so I waited for the last bus.
At the bus stop, I asked about the pig people to some wearied travelers.
Here is what they sang:
In her concrete bosom, the pig people sleep.
the pig people live and eat.
the pig people, the loup garoux, the boogey man,
the monster in the closet, the fear out to get ya, man.
boom, hear that, y’all?
yeah, bitch, she's keen on your hide,
her nose upturned like a pig snake, like a pig,
like a celluloid freak from the comic pages of your friendly horror page;
an immaculate mother, slouching to Bethlehem --
Urban legend?
Maybe. But no. It's not a legend. I have never seen a pig person, but I am sure they exist because I have seen their shadows lurking behind the balustrades of the interstate and I can give you a considerable amount of witnesses who can attest to their existence.
Next time you are around the interstate at night (or even by day) please let me know if you encounter the pig people.
Update: I heard a rumor that Master P is doing a horror flick based on the pig people legend in New Orleans.
the orginal pig ppl ledgend was started by my uncle in hills of pa mountains
ReplyDeleteNo it wAsnt
DeleteActually, it started in Meadville, Pa. Radio Tower Hill was called Pig People Hill for the better part of a century. A movie is being made about it. I grew up there.
DeleteHi pig people are real not fiction they started in Massachusetts I incinterd many pig people they began in 1800 from from other countries slaves and started in Massachusetts on there hunting in fixing there selfs families of pig people the English and Germans and homeless beggers helped them established families that are still in today's world and time and age and they look like movie stars know days and you can't tell the difference from a pig person or regular person there more under control know days but scary in a certain way there very impressive people and you would never really believe that there is real pig people in the USA but most of them live in the USA there a new race of people since the government of the USA helps them and looks away from the future..it's a great subject pig people..hi.
DeleteWow. That's cool. If you have any more information please share with me. I am interested in this legend.

Deletenot the same people, in pa, its a legend, in New orleans, there are a group of people, they mingled with pigs many years ago, and these are the offspring, and they're homeless 'cause people dont want to rent to pigs. but we only have a small percentage of actual pig blood. My name is bill, and i come from the pig people......we don't refer to ourselves as pig people, we call ourselves pernilo.

ReplyDeleteThere are cases of people born with a genetic anomaly where thier skin is thicker and deficient in sweat glands like a pigs. Reports of them faded about 50 years ago it was theorized that the gene is recessive and with inbreeding no longer a nacessity they have died out.
ReplyDeleteMy cousins told me of a family in Louisianna near Laffeyette that would go underneath thier house when it was hot because they could not sweat like a normal person.

ReplyDeleteWhen jesus was looking to share wisdom with a pair of young brothers, there mother hid them in the oven so jesus wouldn't find them, Jesus asked, :what's in the oven?" And the mother said, "it's just some pigs I was going to cook", so Jesus said," Then let them be pigs, and they turned into pigs...
ReplyDeleteThis Jesus guy sounds like an asshole.
DeleteUnder the skate park in the 7th ward? Lmao trust me you had better things to worry bout then pig people yo ass could’ve got robbed 😂
ReplyDeleteI can prove they exist. Ive been capturing them on camera. It is the craziest thing ive ever seen. There are so many different ghosts near a shed in my backyard. i live in Alaska, and I think Im uncovering some real shit man. I caught a seen I recorded with men sitting at a table, and the pig person is talking to them. I also see aliens like the ones we are used to seeing with the big heads and eyes. They DO NOT look friendly, and Ive seen them attack humans too. ive gathered is that aliens attacked us in the past, and maybe the pig people helped the humans? I see a lot of solders too, Some are wounded very badly. The humans never look at me, but the aliens and pig people look directly at me. Ive done the scientific thing, and there is no way that it can be a smudge, light, or anything else. the video and pics are too detailed. I believe something happened behind my house. Im not fucking joking people,
ReplyDeleteIf you got proof on camera and video then sell them to one of the news outlet and show us
