Jersey Devil

Jersey Devil

Leeds Devil

A creature that has been described as a winged bipedal horse and said to be spotted in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

It is said to live in the Pine Barrens in South Jersey.

It’s described as horse-like creature that stands on it’s back legs and has wings. It is said to have a kangaroo or horse-like head, horns, bat-like wings and cloven toes.

The folklore started when a woman named Marry from Estellville, was pregnant and not feeling well, so she cursed the baby and said, “let it be the devil”. The story goes that when the baby was born it had horns, wings and hooves and flew out the chimney into the Pinelands.

Now it is said that it roams the marshes at night and lets out loud screams to keep humans away.

Question to Ponder

  • Is the Jersey Devil just folklore made up to further victimize exhausted pregnant women?
  • What came first, a creature sighting, that the town tried to explain with this story, or the story which caused mass hysteria creating sightings after hearing it?

Yeti

Yeti Abominable Snowman The Yeti is an ape-like creature that has been sighted in the Himalayan mountain range in Asia. It is said to live in ice caves and in snowy areas. Some believe it is a species of Bigfoot that just lives in cooler climates. It is said to be a furry creature that resembles a Sasquatch. Some scientists believe the Yeti might really be a Gigantopithecus, a prehistoric ape that lived in Asia three hundred thousand years ago.
