The Witchy Stitcher Cryptid Stitch-Along: The Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil is a creature dwelling in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.  Legend has it that in 1735, a witch named Mother Leeds gave birth to a horrifying monster with glowing red eyes that flew up the chimney of her home and disappeared into the Pine Barrens.  It is often described as a kangaroo-like creature having hooves, horns, a forked tail, bat wings, and a head that looks something like a horse.  Its screams are said to be quite chilling.  Belief in the Jersey Devil is quite real and based on records of concrete occurrences.  To this day, people traveling down the Garden State Parkway or the Atlantic City Expressway report sightings and tell stories of strange occurrences.  Many continue to believe that the legendary being is still around disturbing the region and will continue to do so for generations to come.- The Witchy Stitcher, Cryptid Wiki, Pine Lands Alliance
