shudder phrase

My friend experienced one of those inexplicable body shudders which in England we explain with the phrase "Someone just walked over my grave"
following hers, she said: "Świnia mnie powąchała!"

a pig sniffed me! is how I would translate it :)

Has anybody heard that before? I haven't had much luck googling it to confirm it's a regular expression, not just something my pal came up with off the cuff.
I ask as the English expression is one of my favourite, with its circular approach to time and mortality, and the funny sensation to which it's attached...

Pan Zuk Gnojowy: Świnia mnie powąchała Never heard it before. Must be local or very personal. But it is funny and I am going to use it with my students! Thanks! :):):)
