Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil, the supposed mythical creature of the New Jersey Pinelands,
has haunted New Jersey and the surrounding areas for the past 260 years. This
entity has been seen by over 2,000 witnesses over this period. It has
terrorized towns and caused factories and schools to close down, yet many
people believe that the Jersey Devil is a legend, a mythical beast, that
originated from the folklore of the New Jersey Pine Barrens .There are many
different versions of the birth of the Jersey Devil. One of the most popular
legends says a Mrs. Shrouds of Leeds Point, NJ made a wish that if she ever
had another child, she wanted it to be a devil. Her next child was born
misshapen and deformed. She sheltered it in the house, so the curious couldn't
see him. On a  stormy night, the child flapped it's arms, which turned into
wings, and escaped out the chimney and was never seen by the family
again.Another story that also placed the birth at Leeds Point said that a
young girl fell in love with a British soldier during the Revolutionary War.
The people of Leeds Point cursed her. When she gave birth, she had a devil.
Some people believe the birth of the devil was punishment for the mistreatment
of a minister by the Leeds folk.Burlington, NJ, also claims to be the
birthplace of the Jersey Devil. In 1735, Mother Leeds was in labor on a stormy
night. Gathered around her were her friends. Mother Leeds was supposedly a
witch and the child's father was the devil himself. The child was born normal,
but then changed form. It changed from a normal baby to a creature with
hooves, a horses head, bat wings and a forked tail. It beat everyone present
and flew up the chimney. It circled the villages and headed toward the pines.
In 1740 a clergy exorcised the devil for 100 years and it wasn't seen again
until 1890
