A resident of the aforementioned village awoke in the middle of the night and witnessed what she believed to be a being known as a Pooka in Irish folklore, sleeping over the pelmet of a window on her landing. The creaeture looked similar to a small piglet, but had a long, pointy nose and no visible tail. Pookas are shapeshifting tricksters and mischief-makers in Irish faery lore, but as far as I know they have never been described as piglet-like entities.
