Pig Lane, Horton near Devizes is said to be haunted by a giant wild boar and a phantom motorcar, the latter I may have experienced myself, more about that later. The lane runs adjacent to a organic dairy farm, which also happens to house one or two pigs.
The story of this one particular swine is a little vague. Over the years several folk have reported being scared half to death by a huge pig which has given chase in the dead of night. Now it has to be said that at night the lane is in total darkness, so there is every chance these reports may be slightly exaggerated. I can however vouch for being chased on my mountain bike in board daylight by a disgruntled pig on one of the farm tracks, an episode I don't wish to repeat.
Now as for the motorcar. T'was a warm sunny afternoon in June 2025 when I decide to jump on my bike and go for a ride along the lane. Several minutes into my ride I became aware of a motorcar behind me. Not any motorcar but one that sounded distinctly vintage. You know the the type, clatter, pop pop. Anyway, I glanced back briefly to see what I thought was a vintage motorcar. You can imagine my surprise to find the lane completely empty with no motorcar. Did I imagine the whole thing, surely not. The lane is flanked by many trees, is that what I heard, the breeze through the trees. The lane is generally very quiet, predominately used by farm vehicles, which were not in use at that time. So it remains an unknown folks.
