- Pigman Road
Pigman Road, officially known as "Holland Road" by the New York State Department of Transportation, is a street located in
Angola, New York . The road is said to be haunted by the soul of a pig farmer who enjoyed killing and mutilating the bodies of teenagers who disrupted his solitude. The tale is those who visit the road report hearing strange noises and seeing horrific images. [(1) http://arevolutionblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/aka-holland-road.html]Actual History
Holland Road was actually the site of what is known as the "Angola Horror," the worst train wreck in
Erie County history that claimed the lives of at least fifty people. On December 18th, 1867, a rear axle on a train traveling into Buffalo loosened and caused the train to de-rail. The rear coach tumbled down an embankment and ripped in half, killing one and burning countless others. The car in front of the rear coach tipped over and rolled down the embankment. The commotion loosened the giant stoves used for heating and spread the burning coal over the passengers riding in the car, killing all but three.
