Description

In 1908 reports in rural Indiana of farmers and livestock being attacked and killed by a swine with "glowing red eyes" began to circulate. By the time the story made it to the newspapers in Indianapolis those in the countryside had already come to believe they were dealing with the Devil.

The curious thing about this particular story is that it was remarkably well-documented considering the date and location -- remote Midwestern farm community at turn of the century America.

Additionally, from the time of the gas vein being struck in Indiana (Eaton, 1876) where frightened miners believed they had breached the ceiling of Hell and supposedly released the satanic animal, to the time this same "monster" launched it's final attack in Akron Indiana, the creature seemed to march a distinct swath north. A path of death and destruction. The stories, timeline and documentation paint a picture of an animal on a distinct track, at a specific time, leaving misery and ruin behind.

The farmers of the time had practical concerns regarding the safety of their livestock; as well as safety for themselves and loved ones. But amidst all this, the spiritual nature of this supernatural beast was not lost on the heavily religious area. And inescapable among these, was the story of Jesus driving the devil into a herd of pigs (Matthew 8:31) and the belief that ONE of those swine survived. To wreak havoc in rural Indiana in the early 1900's.

Here is that story.
