S12 E27 - F-Bomb - The Pig Man of White Cloud - Something Walks Between the Trees

Deep in the forests surrounding White Cloud, Michigan, something is said to walk upright between the trees.

Witnesses and local storytellers describe a towering creature with the body of a man, the head of a wild boar, and dark, intelligent eyes that watch from beyond the reach of the firelight. Known as the Pig Man of White Cloud, this obscure Michigan cryptid has haunted the campfire stories of hunters, hikers, and thrill-seeking teenagers for generations.

But where did the legend begin?

Was the Pig Man once an angry farmer transformed by a horrific accident? Was the story created to keep children away from the dangerous swamps, creeks, and forests surrounding White Cloud? Or could something truly be hiding near the mysterious place locals call Pig Man Island?
