Sioux Falls Fire Rescues Stranded Piglet in Hilarious Video

Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue was dispatched to perhaps the most unusual place one would think to make a daring rescue of a stranded swine on Thursday.

Just as they do when it comes to calls from humans, Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue sprang into action this week to assist the poor little piggy.

The best news of all is what came at the end of the video. The young pig is healthy, and currently being cared for by the Humane Society:

Haunted Locations and Scary Legends Around Sioux Falls

Halloween is steeped in scary traditions. Trick-or-Treating, frightening costumes, local actors in "haunted" houses, and the pitch-black darkness of area corn mazes.

And yes, a handful of thrill-seeking people will show up on our favorite eerie night for what could be a viral video moment or experience a misty phantom first-hand.

Let's take a little tour of the more famous hauntings around Sioux Falls. Turn on the lights and cue the Cowardly Lion: "I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks..."
