Hunt for the Jersey Devil (Part 1/3)
In this episode, we'll explore the more alternative, less 'mainstream' crpytid nicknamed ' the 'Jersey Devil,' who is said to be the demonic 13th child of Ms. Leeds, a quaker matriarch who lived in Leeds Point, NJ in the mid-1700s. According to local legend, the Jersey Devil has been haunting the Pine Barrens and it's surrounding communities for centuries.
In this episode, we speak with a local eyewitness, town skeptics, and Rutgers University folklorist, Angus K. Gillespie, who gives an anthropological breakdown of how the myth came to be.
A lot more coming soon and we hope you are enjoying this cryptid series.
