Near the town of North East (Maryland) the woods are supposed in local folklore to contain this astonishing creature. There are said to have been sightings since the 19th Century, when two girls encountered what they took to be a woman who was on fire. They thought the fire had killed her, but she jumped up, surrounded by smoke. Her face looked like that of a pig. The girls, understandably, took off at a run.
At a certain bridge in the woods cars are said to stop inexplicably at night. Drivers hear scratches. Then they see the Pig Lady, who batters the windshield with her trotters and presses her snout against it.
The stories involve disappearances of drivers foolish enough to leave their cars and run for it. Those who remain inside seem to survive.
Although I have come on a number of reports of Pigmen, the Pig Lady is the only female of which I know.
