Jersey Devil | New Jersey, USA

Hooved creature with bat-like wings and a blood-chilling scream.

• It lives in the Pine Barrens in South New Jersey but is also considered a mythological creature talked about in Philadelphia.
• It’s always described to be a flying biped with hooves. The combination vary: kangaroos, wyverns, goats, and horses are some of them.
• The Jersey Devil started as The Leeds Devil, also the Devil of Leeds. These names originated in the 1700s about a family (the Leeds) and a crazy story surrounding Mother Leeds. Mother Leeds had 12 children and fell pregnant with a 13th child. She wasn’t exactly the happiest expecting mother. She decided to curse the 13th child, saying it would be born as the ‘Devil.’ Supposedly, the Jersey Devil is the 13th child.
• Although the Jersey Devil was born in the 1700s, publications and sightings didn’t begin until the 1800s. As time went on, the name changed into the Jersey Devil. But the story still remains.
• None of the stories say its attacked humans or has any reason to…but it will rampage through towns and cities, if it wants to.
