Whilst looking at Georgia weirdness, I came across this:

Which seems to indicate that Pig Man is a local variation of Bigfoot. But then I came across this:

Which seems like the whole thing could be two colliding legends/sightings. And I couldn't find any other Pig Man sightings, but perhaps they are out there and not just a Georgia phenomenon.

THE PIG MAN A.K.A. SASQUATCH SIGHTINGS
It has been many years since a sighting, but old swampers call him the South Georgia Pig Man. Over the years reported sightings have persisted in and around the area, especially deep in the remote recesses of the swamp. Reports describe the creature as a large ape like being, that walks upright, has abundant hair and a nose similar to a pig. Observers have commented on a skunk like odor that has accompanied the sightings. There have been no reports of hostility or aggression, in fact the creature was referred to as timid and shy with sad expressive eyes. These sightings have many details in common with creature sightings documented in the Everglades. A missing link referred to as the Florida Skunk Ape. Could it be possible these beings are related genetically? Before development transformed Florida, these man like creatures might have migrated. One of their routes could have been by way of the Kissimmee River Valley up along the Lake Wales Ridge to the extensive game rich swamps associated with the St. John’s River Basin. The migration would have passed right by what is today the city of Jacksonville onward to the Okefenokee and beyond.

Hawkinsville - Pig Man's Bridge - A man was part of a circus at one time. He trained pigs and they did tricks. It is said that he was mean to the pigs and that when he got to old to travel he settled under this bridge and built pigpens on the hill. The pigs ended up killing the man and now the man haunts the bridge and has a face of a pig.
