Episode 1: Pigman

Urban Legend

Jan 2

On Legend’s very first episode Samm shares with Amy her very own local legend.
In 1913 a man by the name of William Derrecks was born with Frontonasal Dysplasia which caused him to have severe facial abnormalities and intellectual disabilities. Already born into a family with a history of involvement with tragic events; he had to endure the scrutiny of the village of Angola, New York which pushed him into reclusion. Did he truly become the monster the village believed him to be, a creature hellbent on terrorizing the local youths who used Holland Road as their Lovers Lane or was he simply a misunderstood man hiding from the prying eyes of a closed minded society?
Samm shares her experiences growing up around this legend along with sharing her dad’s own experiences during a time when this legend was in the forefront of everyone’s mind.

If you are from Angola, New York and also grew up with Pigman’s urban legend and have a story to share, whether it be your very own experience or a different version of the urban legend itself, we would love to hear from you!
