George Borrow, while researching Romany Rye and Wild Wales, heard tales of travellers' children who sneaked in and enchanted the pigs in the valleys by singing sacred songs, and rose up into the air with them.
This might be the origin of the expression "pigs might fly".
Or it could just be my cwm hymn fly-by-sty shy pygmy gypsy myth.
