Has anyone heard of the Jersey Devil?

Answer 1

The Jersey Devil has been said to be companion to a headless pirate, a ghostly woman, and a werewolf. In certain parts of South Jersey, the Devil is rumored to live in an apocryphal Agent Orange plant near Chatsworth, a very small town surrounded by forest and sand.

There is another description of the devil that is well-known to local people in South Jersey. A woman in South Jersey was having her first baby and she wanted him to be perfect. When the baby was born, it was the ugliest-looking baby that anyone had seen at the time. The mother was so upset that she said "This isn't my son. This is the devil's son. May God give the thing back to him!" After saying this, she threw her son into the river. The son died. Now that river is said to be haunted by the devil. Many people have died there. It is said that there is an unknown source which sucks air to it from under a rock. When people swim near there, they are sucked under the rock; they are then held there until they die. Once they are dead, the body is let go so that it floats to the top for everyone to see.

Native American legends told of the devil as a friendly being that protected the Pines. Sightings of the devil were believed to be signs of good fortune. This view was widely accepted by locals from the late 1700s until 1909.

Answer 2

I first came to know about it on a documentary called 'Animal X'. It told of how a mother, gave birth to a 13th child who was supposedly animal-like, furs, wings... The child then took off from the chimney and the whole house collapse. They even showed a clip of the house in ruins, where they believed this took place.
Then, a group of investigators went on a trip into the forest in search of the 'thing'. You see how they were walking walking, then heard a noise, there was a flash of light, a growling in the background then they ran. So after the show, I went online and searched for the jersey devil and the name of the team of researchers, amazingly, I found the exact same person and emailed her. She said that in reality, she had not found the jersey devil but the producers of the show re-edited it for entertainment purposes.
Well, this means that aside from personal sightings, there has not yet been any proofs of its existence.
