"When legends die, there are no more dreams. When there are no more dreams, there is no more greatness."
Is the Jersey Devil real? Is it an alien, a mutation or a figment of the imagination? Without a doubt, the Jersey Devil is by far, the most popular folklore legend in New Jersey. The earliest accounts of the creature go back to stories told by Native Americans prior to the White man's settlement here. The Lenape Indians called the Pine Barrens "Popuessing", meaning"place of the dragon".

The most popular story is that the Jersey Devil was born in 1735, the 13th child of a woman whose character was questionable, named Leeds or Shrouds. The identity of the father varies from the woman's brother, a town minister and a British soldier to Satan himself. The story goes something like, during labor the woman cursed the child saying," This one might as well go to the devil for all I care!". Shortly after birth, the deformed creature flew up the chimney and has been on the rampage in Southern New Jersey and surrounding areas ever since.

My Jersey Devil Story
I myself, have had an encounter with the strange being that I believe to be the Jersey Devil. It happened many years ago, up on top of an old fire tower at Apple Pie Hill, near Chatsworth, NJ. It was around the 4th of July and a friend and I had climbed the tower looking for nearby fireworks. We were the only two people out there that chilly black night, deep in the Pines. We started talking about aliens and the Jersey Devil and I even challenged out loud, any being in our presence to show itself to us. After falling silent, and after a considerable amount of time, we started to hear a faint raspy, breathing sound. It seemed to circle the tower several times as it kept getting closer and closer and louder and louder. When we realized that neither of us was doing it to scare the other, terror struck us, and hit us hard! We flew down those many steps and landings as if we had the wings. We jumped into our truck and sped away "like a bat out of hell". We are not the only ones with such frightening stories. Many people who've spent time in the Pine Barrens at night, can attest to the strange energies lurking there. Do you have an experience of your own? I'd love to hear about it if you do!
