Encounter with Pig Demon

Here's the thing: As soon as the farmer realized which little brick building we'd seen, his face just went white. It looked like he'd been slapped. Grandpa asked him what was the matter.
 The farmer whispered something to him and Grandpa told us to go wait in the car. We did.
When Grandpa came back, he looked very shaken. 
He got in and told Staci, Grandma and me what the farmer confided to him. The farmer's family had owned that property for almost a century, and back in the 1930s the farmer's uncle had told them all that he'd seen a "demon" that looked like a pig in the woods and that it lived in that little building.
The farmer's family didn't believe his uncle, thinking he was making up stories or maybe was becoming mentally ill. Then, at the tail-end of the '30s, his uncle went missing for about five days. Finally, one of the family members found his uncle's dead body in that little building. Not a mark on him, and the coroner couldn't figure out what happened; he had been perfectly healthy, in his late teens/early 20s, and had no injuries they could find.
 He'd just dropped dead on the floor of that little brick building for no apparent reason.
The farmer also told Grandpa that once in awhile he still hears some unidentifiable animal shrieking or howling out in the woods at the edge of the field, but can't identify what kind of animal could make a sound like that. 
The farmer's family always reported that sound off and on on that property since his uncle's death.
