I think it would be more interesting if it was a llama. The Jersey Devil is at least native to the area.
I guess Halloween’s come a little early this year.
It sounds like that moth-man creature in West Virginia.
What! Some 15 or so posts and no one has brought up the Man-Bear-Pig yet!
I couldn’t find the complete account, but there is an interesting story about the Jersey Devil from 2004 where a mom and son get scared off from taking in their Christmas tree lights. They say it jumped 85 from their garage roof to the house roof.
Police and wildlife people looked at it the following morning and couldn’t explain the tracks.
Who knows. I love this kind of stuff. Jersey Devil stories have been around for 200 years.
Galloway isn't its stomping grounds though. More likely to be in the middle of the Pine Barrens in Wharton State Forest. (Burlington County)
I think it's Leeds. If you go out to Leed's Point on the way to the Oyster Creek Inn, the road bears a hard 90 degree left. The house at that bend is the old Leeds house. You can still see the chimney that the child flew up.
The Jackson Whites are not lore, they are real. They are running around on their ATV’s up on Stag Hill as we speak. Now they like to pretend they are an Indian tribe, for the possible casino in the future, but they are real live hillbillies that exist 20 miles from Times Square. They were in the news a few years back when they sued Hollywood for the movie “Into The Furnace”. They did not like how they were portrayed by Woody Harelson, they also somewhat forgot about the First Amendment in the process.
I know they exist but there is lore surrounding them
I knew one when I lived in upper Nyack
Down south he’d be redbone or high mulatto
But some are pretty white looking
They claim to be Hessian and Indian ....and escaped Yankee property slaves mixed
I have a friend in Suffern..he’s sort of an authority on them or thinks he is
Doesn’t look like night to me,sky is bright
It does when it’s carrying prey, like cats, possums, skunks, small animals etc.
Owls hunt at night. My cat was whisked away one night right in front of us and we tried to follow it but never did find her.
