Pig-Grabbing Aliens in North Dakota?

By , About.com GuideNovember 1, 2006

Follow me on:

We have all heard about cattle mutilation as related to aliens, but how about aliens who steal pigs? According the some, aliens are really stealing pigs off of a ranch outside of Tappen, North Dakota. The strange incident was reported to authorities by one Torrey Briese, whose family runs the ranch.

“Some people probably aren't going to believe it. I'm not even trying to convince anybody. We know what happened,” said Briese.

The family claims three such incidents have occurred during the last year. According to Briese, her son Evan was up early on September 12, to get a glass of water. He could see out of his window from the kitchen, and saw something moving in the corral. The corral housed the family pigs, so the young man was afraid that a predator was after one of the occupants. He went, gun in hand, to check it out.

When he arrived, he was stunned to see two 8-9 foot tall creatures trying to catch one of the pigs. An eerie scream came from one of the creatures as he shot it. The other being grabbed the boy and threw him to the ground. He was unconscious. When he awoke, he discovered one of their 450 pound porkers was gone. All of this was reported to the police, as Evan told his story in his ripped up shirt. A truly bizarre tale, and you can see the rest of the story at Creature Sightings Stir Talk, Pig-Grabbing Aliens in North Dakota.
