" Don't worry about what those kids at school say. you are beautiful! ( on the inside)"
I guess that's what it's mother might have said if it hadn't run away almost immediately run away after birth. It must have been tough being the thirteenth kid. And his mother was a WITCH! Literally. She was said to be a witch that invoked the devil while giving birth, and so after a couple lovely minutes of being a normal human being, little baby jersey devil became a horrifying winged biped with horns, claws and a weird pointy tail, and flew into the surrounding pines. Home sweet home.
If you have not already guessed, this super model is known as the Jersey Devil, or sometimes the Leeds Devil. I like the first name better. Leeds just doesn't sound very scary or intimidating to me, even with the word "devil" after it. Anyway, he is a bit of a celebrity now. He has made his way to pop culture, which is no surprise, considering how awesomely cool he is! New Jersey's team in the National Hockey League has the Jersey Devil to thank for their name.
There have been too many sightings of this devil dude to count. people report sightings all the time.
Throughout the 1800's, the Jersey Devil was said to be behind livestock killings, strange sounds and strange tracks. In 1960, merchants around Camden offered a $10,000 for the capture of the Jersey Devil, and even said that they would build him a private zoo. I do not think i am alone in thinking that they were idiots. Even if the Jersey Devil is real, there is no way a mere mortal could possibly capture it. or cage it.
This brings me to our favorite part of my posts. THE BIG QUESTION!!!!!!!
You all know by now what the big question is, even though i have never ever ever ever called it that.
THE BIG QUESTION: Is it real?? While common sense, logic, and science will defy what I am about to say, I kind of think it could be real. there is no denying that there have been countless accounts of sightings, and surely at least a few of those people who reported a sighting were sane. As unlikely as it seems, I am a bit of a believer. This is a gut instinct, obviously. But my gut can be pretty accurate at times.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my post, even if it was a bit short.
Thanks for reading, and if your in New Jersey, LOOK OUT! Our frightening friend could be flying over the roof right now...........
