Episode 355 - Pig Lady Road & the Hall-Mills Murders

Pig Lady Road is one of New Jersey’s most intriguing urban legends—a dark, winding road where a half-woman, half-pig apparition is said to appear to unlucky drivers after midnight. We break down the rumored origins of the Pig Lady, tragic tales of disfigurement and isolation that lead a vengeful spirit to wait for curious teens to test their luck.

But the most likely origin of this legend is very real and very disturbing: the Hall–Mills murders of 1922, a sensational double homicide involving secret affairs, powerful families, missing evidence, and a witness cruelly nicknamed “the Pig Woman.” We explore how true crime, media frenzy, class dynamics and misogyny blurred together to thwart justice and transform a real woman into folklore. This brutal case sparked a century of haunting stories that still linger on New Jersey roads today.
