Holland Road, better known by its nickname, Pigman Road, earned the moniker from the legend of a local butcher who would place the heads of pigs on stakes along the street in the 1950s and ‘60s. Some allege that the butcher shot a man to death and hung his body from a meat hook in his shop. The ghostly activity on Holland Road comes from a tragedy that predates the gristly butcher, however. On December 18, 1967, tragedy struck as a six-car passenger train came apart and fell off the track near Pigman Road. 50 people died in the accident and 40 more suffered severe burns. Locals say that the spirits of these victims still roam the area.

    One day me and my friend were hanging out playing some Fortnite at my place and like I died and my friend couldn't revive me so like I got mad and threw my Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller - Robot White at my SAMSUNG 65” Class DU6900 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV UN65DU6900FXZA television. At that point we really didn't know what to do because we were really fr*aking bored (I had to censor it because my mommy doesnt like it when I swear) so we looked up spooky things to do near me and we found this thing called piggy road or something like that I forget the name tbh. We then packed some PRIME energy drinks and some ghost detector we got off of Temu it didn't have the best of reviews but you can't pass on a $3 ghost detector lmao and began driving to this piggy road or whatever it was called. So we get to piggy road and apparently it said holland road so we're like "erm what the sigma?" so we tried looking it up online but we didnt have any mobile data because I had then realized I accidently brought my little brothers fisher price phone instead of my OnePlus 11 so I was kinda cooked tbh. He was like "wanna go down this road? it looks kinda spooky" so I'm like "yeah" and we drive down it and tbh I was a bit freaked out because like something felt very off. So we're driving kinda slow because we werent that familiar with the area or something like that and we come across this weird tunnel thingy so we park our car and walk into it and theres like graffiti everywhere of this pig dude or something and then we were like "this has gotta be that piggy road" so like since I was an idiot and brought my little brothers fisher price phone I couldnt take any pictures from that but then we had this big brain idea to start waving our hands like idiots infront of my dash cam to like get it to record us so we could get some footage of it but looking back at the files its just us waving at the camera like idiots and some weird pig dude standing in the distance with an axe but you'll hear more on that dude later. Anyway so like we thought we got some footage of it with the dashcam but clearly we didnt so we just go back to the car and keep driving a bit and then we see this guy with a pig head just standing there looking at us and were like honking at him like "dude what the heck get off the road idiot" so like 5 minutes pass and hes still standing there and were like "we should go see what his problem is dude lowkey looks lost" so we get out of the car and walk up to the guy and are like "yo whats ur problem man ur freaking (IM SORRY MOMMY) just standing there looking at our car its not for sale idiot" and he doesnt say a word and we just look at each other and like laugh because it was lowkey kinda awkward and then the guy just keeps standing bro like stop and then were like we kinda lost ngl so we asked him for directions and then he finally spoke and said "i can offer you a ride if i use your car" and were like "ok whats the worst that can happen with a guy wearing a pig head driving your car." So we let him in the drivers seat of our car and we hop in and he says "get out of the car I have to do something really quick" and we're like "can I keep the dash cam because I saw some graffiti of a pig dude and it was really scary and I kinda want to tell my friends about it yk what I mean" and he didnt say anything again so we just took it and left the vehicle and all of the sudden he drives away in our car and were like kinda stranded so then I reach for my phone in my pocket and realize a third time it was my little brothers fisher price phone and then I kinda sweared a little bit but my mommy only grounded me for a few months for that but its ok now. Anyway we just like walked back home and it took several days and at some point my friend went missing but I guess thats a skill issue tbh anyway solid 8/10 would do it again if it werent for that weird piggy man stealing our car but its ok I guess also that Temu ghost detector thing we never really used it because other than the pig guy stealing our car nothing that strange happened but yeah.

  • The Angola Train Wreck was in 1867 (not 1967)

    ?? The Angola Horror train wreck occurred on December 18, 1867, just after 3 p.m. when the last coach of the Buffalo-bound New York Express of the Lake Shore Railway derailed at a bridge in Angola, New York, slid down into a gorge, and caught fire, killing some 49 people. At the time, it was one of the deadliest train wrecks in American history. ?? The unfortunate deaths ??: The last car plunged 40 feet down the ice-covered slope to the gully bottom and came to a rest, at a 45-degree angle, with a fearful crash. The passengers were thrown together at the end of the car onto the overturned stove. The stove from the other end of the car fell upon them and released hot coals. The carriage immediately caught fire, the fuel from the kerosene lamps fueling the flames. Only two people escaped alive from the carriage; some may have suffocated, but the majority were burned alive. Witnesses spoke of hearing the screams of those trapped inside lasting for five minutes. ?? What caused it ?? ? You won't believe this! Keep in mind it was December, and the train was racing as it was running almost 3 hours behind schedule ... •As the train neared the truss bridge over Big Sister Creek just east of Angola at 3:11 pm, it ran over a frog ?? (at the crossing point of two rails). The front axle of the rear car was slightly bent, and the frog caused a wheel on the defective axle to jump off the track, derailing the rear car which then swayed violently from side to side. •The brakes were applied, but the train still traveled at considerable speed as it crossed the bridge. The last car uncoupled from the train and plunged down into the icy gorge. •The 2nd-to-last car also derailed, but made it to the other side of the gorge before sliding 30 feet (9 m) down the embankment. Only one person was killed in this specific car. Want to know more? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angola_Horror

  • Pigman road

    I went here 3 times and nothing happened. When i went the 4th time with my friends that's when I felt something. We were walking down the road at 11pm and nobody was around me and i felt fingers go through my hair. I felt actual fingers touch my head. I really got scared but though it was my imagination. We got to the red barn and that's when 2 of my friends stated screaming and we all ran. There was a big black shape chasing us. I didn't see it because i was too scared to look back. The freaky part was when we got back to my car. It was foggy in my car and a childs handprints were on my rear window. Were all adults. They were infant hand prints. I never did or will go there again!!

  • Day Trip

    My wife and I took a day trip from Erie, PA to Buffalo, NY on Saturday, 7/10/21 to pick up aquarium supplies and we enjoy driving US-5 along Lake Erie which is a beautiful route. After passing Evangola State Park near the Village of Farnham, we reached Holland Road which I recalled from past stories about this area being haunted. So, being in no hurry we took a right turn and headed down Holland Road just to check things out. In the back seat of our SUV was our 2-year old male Cairn Terrier "Duncan" who was fast asleep as we approached the turn. As we headed down the road (traveling east, then southeast) Duncan stood up while tethered in his car seat and began panting as we continued on. Before we reached the first single car bridge his panting became agitation and he started shaking and whimpering constantly -- something he has never done in the past. It was as if he sensed something he didn't like despite our telling him that everything was fine and comforting him. He was nor growling or barking -- just whimpering. Finally, my wife said we should turn around and head back, to which I agreed. Soon, we were back on Route 5 heading to Buffalo and Duncan was calm again and laid back down.
