The Jersey Devil

This episode dives into the eerie legend of the Jersey Devil, a winged cryptid said to haunt the Pine Barrens of New Jersey since the 1700s. Born from folklore involving a cursed child of Mother Leeds, the creature is described as having bat wings, hooves, and a forked tail. We explore the mass hysteria of 1909, when sightings and panic spread across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as the lasting cultural imprint of the creature. Theories range from misidentified animals and political satire to cryptid reality. The Jersey Devil remains an enduring symbol of fear, folklore, and the wild unknown.
