Speaker 1 (00:16):
We walk amongst ghosts every day, be it sights of
war and strife, our poverty and horror. The twisting, snaking
paths are beautiful but candid us to some things undiscovered
and terrifying. From the Mississippi Delta to the jungles of
the far East. The dead demand to be acknowledged. This
(00:40):
is what we do here. Welcome to the House of Asher.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yes, my friend, welcome back to the House of Asher.
I am your humble host, Steve Asher, and I just
want to let you guys, and I love you. I
really do know. I've not been drinking or dipping into
the mushrooms. Just want to let you guys know I
do appreciate you. And from this point forward, I plan
(01:14):
on having a lot more content, a lot more often.
So from that point I'm gonna touch base about something
kind of freaky. Some of you guys might have heard
tell of what had been called the Princeton pig Man.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Some had called it the Highland holler Man.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Be it a pig or otherwise, but they also call
it the pig Man of Highland Holler and all kinds
of different stuff. Long story short, it's freaky. It's freaky
and it's creepy and it's borderline dangerous. Now understand, this
all happens on the tail of what's been going on in.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
The last couple years in western Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Now, for you that are not familiar with this area,
a lot of watery areas, some even swamplandish. We do
have a tendency of having floods and that causes a
lot of low vegetation growth, and that brings in the
Faroh hogs. You heard me correctly, ladies and gentlemen. I'm
(02:24):
talking faraoeh hog, big tust mother humpers who will kill
your animals, kill other farm animals. They will tear into
side of buildings.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I'm talking. You can't understand. The tusk on a faraoh
hog is like a bone knife, and it's just real
bad news.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And you don't want to play with these guys. Thank god,
we do have people that keep the population in check. Yes,
I can hear Peter now, But you know what, come
down here and live and see see how how well
that ideology sticks.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's a lot easier when.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You go through a whole foods or something and get
everything that's already processed out and prepared. But I digress anyway, So,
as I was trying to tell you, we have really
had an upswing on faral hogs in all throughout western
Kentucky and down into eastern Tennessee and southern Illinois. It's
(03:27):
really been a it's literally been a hum dinger. And
you have more and more people now reporting seeing seemingly
humanoid creatures with a hog like bovine what are you
gonna call it or not bovine, sorry, pig like faces because.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Bovine's o cow.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
But long story short is it's catching people's attention. And
as I told you, most of what I know of
these type of creatures, you know it's from further out east,
you know, goat Man and things like that. Of course
most of you have heard of Hogzilla, and these just
(04:12):
mutant sized pigs which, like a lot of animals, they
will keep growing and growing, uh to the point where
the food will you know, diminish, kind of like if
you you feed one fish forever in a big tank,
it's gonna.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Get in just unimaginably massive.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's very true of people who will get gold fish
things like that, and they just feed them and feed
them and feed them. They keep them five or six years.
You know, the kid gets older, he gets ready to
go to college. Well, somebody goes releases it into the
lake because they hate to see little timmy of the
fish get killed, or a little flush it, which it
(04:56):
still goes as the same waterways guys and all leads
back to the water, all these back to the water table,
and these guys become predators. We have a real bad
problem with giant cart which is really all goldfishes. Some
people have coy ponds and it's by no far of
(05:16):
their own. It floods their area, floods. Whush, there goes
their fish, and it goes back in there and it
starts killing off all the natural fish, eating all their eggs. Anyways,
the problem back to the hog issue. Was talking to
a friend of mine who lives close down to the
(05:37):
Highland area, which there's a Highland Baptist church here and
there's Highland homes and so anyway, was talking to a
friend who lives down there, and he was telling me
about you know, they still are having some sort of visitation,
some sort of.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Just things in the woods.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
And now I understand we have deers and whatnot, and
people know the sound of deers people know the sound
of raccoons, people know the sound of.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You know, straight dogs. This was none of these. It
was a very bizarre acclimate or amalgamation of.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
A human voice primarily had been mail And I'll get
into that here in a minute. With the squills and
clicks and all that that you would hear like on
a hog farm. Just watch Deliverance and just listen to
all the squilling that they do. That's very reminiscent of
kind of how it sounded. It was just not quite
(06:40):
as creepy and rednecky. So anyway, this has been going
on for a while and generally they don't have problems
the people talk about they don't have issues. Sometimes they'll
toss out apples, kind of like you would see people
do with Bigfoot. They would toss out apples, they would
(07:00):
put out corn, different things like that, and as seemingly
whatever was in the area.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Would leave them alone. Now it seems like they're getting
a little braver and they're wanting to.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Get up into people's backyards now because there was like
a great, big covered hollow area that runs more or
less parallel to the Cedar Hills Cemetery, which there's all
kinds of stories from there that will be for another
another discussion. But now not only have they heard this
(07:35):
primarily male creature, they're hearing almost like piglets. They've even
mentioned hearing when it had a distinctly female.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Temper to its voice.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm gonna say her voice because I don't know what
it is. And you know, unless you're Philip Bailey, you know,
most guys can't hit those can't hit that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Kind of range.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And it's really got these people free to up and
so hopefully my plan is to try to set up
some trail camps, maybe even get permission to be in
some of their back forties as we call them their
backyards and further down to check this out. I do
have family, but property in the area. That's all I
(08:25):
say about that. I don't want them to be bothered.
And that's another thing I should probably probably put a
put out front, is the thing that don't go creeping
around people's properties.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
That's a good way to get shot, it's a good way.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
To get attacked by a dog. That's a good way
to fall down a hill, hurt yourself down fall down
about a twenty five foot drop, and especially if you're
trying to pull this off by yourself and well the night,
no one's want to know you there, and it's be
pretty friggin embarrassing if someone dead and they called the cops,
they have to pull you out and you're down there
(09:02):
telling them what you're trying to find, trying to find
the pig man. They'll probably test you, test you to
see if you're drunk at the least, and you'll probably
get a good fine. So again, be respectful, don't be
a douche. Always be respectful of people's property and honest
to gosh.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Just let's be respectful of whatever is down there. I know, if.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
If it was anything else, you know, if it was
if it was cattle or there's some of that. And
nobody wants to be abused, nobody wants to be scared,
nobody wants to be chased.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
So let's keep that in mind.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But that being said, I probably should have said initially
after thank you guys for tuning in. Make sure to
