"Pig ghosts" are said by old people to be wandering ghosts formed by the lingering souls of pigs after they die.

That was what happened when my mother was still a girl in her natal family. I have been to my mother's natal family. The layout is that several mud houses are built against the mountain and close together, forming an I-shape, and then there is a patio. Our place is commonly known as the ground floor.

Then the pigsty is located opposite the dam, separated from the house by the dam. Mom's bedroom is at the innermost place, only against the mountain, so generally speaking, you can't hear the pigs' braying in Mom's house.

But things happened

Strangely, for several days in a row, my mother kept hearing a sound similar to a pig's "wow-wow-wow" sound under her window, from dusk to dawn. She must have heard about the pig ghost, and was frightened.

She cried, but grandpa and the others couldn't hear her. They also looked outside the window, but saw nothing. There was no other way. Mom was too scared to sleep, so she went to share a bed with her sister. A few days later, the pigs in the village

I got swine fever and most of them died.

My grandma also encountered a similar thing. After hearing the ghostly screams of pigs, the surrounding pigs began to get swine fever, and then many of them died.

Later I asked my mother if she had lied to me about the pig ghost thing. There was a pig sleeping under the window. My mother said seriously that even though she was not very old at that time, she could still tell the difference between pigs.
