The Jersey Devil
![]() |
The New Jersey Devil to some is a mythical being and to some a reality.
The story begins centuries ago with a Quaker woman named Mother Leeds who was involved
with a some sort of mysterious evil cult. She had 12 children during that time. However,
when she was pregnant with the 13th child, she cursed it to be a devil. Her wish was granted as the newborn emerged normal at first, but then turned into a vile looking creature with horns, wings, and hooves. When it was born it immediately killed the entire family and laid waste to the small quaker town. Today it is said that this beast has been spotted in small towns near the deep forests in southern Jersey. References state that this short hairy demon lives in the huge preserved forest of the Pine Barrens. Much like the Bigfoot, Lockness Monster, or ghosts, many people have claimed that there is real evidence on its existance. Is it real? Is it but a rather cool myth? You decide |
