In the haunted Pine Barrens of New Jersey, a devilish presence is said to stalk the night. According to folklore, the Jersey Devil was born in 1735 to Mother Leeds - a monstrous being with the head of a horse, bat-like wings, and cloven hooves. With spine-chilling shrieks and a thirst for bloodshed, this hellish cryptid has menaced the region for centuries, leaving a trail of slaughtered livestock and mutilated creatures in its wake. #jerseydevil #newjersey #cryptids #cryptozoology #folklore
