Did a secret experiment during the Second World War create a creature that lurks in Staffordshire?

Cannock Chase is said to be a hotspot for the strange and unusual, from UFO sightings to ghostly children.

One legend that's captured people's imagination is the story of the Pigman, a supposedly half-man, half-pig hybrid that lurks in the shadows of the Chase. But is there any truth to the myth? And where did the Pigman come from?
