Summary

In this week’s 5 Minute Friday, we’re still joined by Caitlyn and Cassie from PNW Haunts and Homicides, but the story takes a hard left into the absurd. Shea reads a real news article about a farmer in rural China who attempted to transport a pig by drone—only to snag a high‑voltage power line and knock out electricity to an entire village for hours. Short, strange, and completely real, this episode is proof that sometimes the phrase “when pigs fly” isn’t a metaphor—it’s a cautionary tale.
