Sam Harris, The Man Who Became The Pigman of Vermont | Folk the Folklore Ep. 1

In 1951, a 17-year-old named Sam Harris walked into the dense forest of Northfield, Vermont, near the cavernous "Devil’s Washbowl"—carrying a carton of eggs and setting off for some Halloween mischief. He was never seen again.

But local legend says Sam didn't just vanish... he transformed. Driven mad by cold and starvation inside the cave systems, did he become the terrorizing, bipedal creature known as The Pigman?

In this debut episode of Folk the Folklore, Nick and Dylan dive deep into the chilling lore of Vermont’s most famous cryptid. We break down the real-life missing person case, the spooky 1970s lovers' lane encounters, farmstead raids, and whether this urban legend is a terrifying beast, a tragic accident, or local wildlife run amok.
