4. The Jersey Devil
There is a terrifying creature, they say, that haunts the dense pine barrens of New Jersey, and its frightening appearance earned it the name of The Jersey Devil. The legend of the Jersey Devil dates back to about the mid-1700s when it was considered an omen of disaster or war, but multiple sightings did not begin until the early 1900s. Some researchers claim that more than 2,000 witnesses have reported seeing the creature over the centuries. Although rare, sightings continue up to the present day.
. The Jersey Devils hockey team was named after the legendary beast. Descriptions vary, but these are the most commonly cited attributes:
about three-and-a-half feet high a head like a collie dog and a face like a horse a long neck wings about two feet long back legs like those of a crane horse's hooves walks on its back legs and holds up two short front legs with paws on them It's interesting to note the similarities to Chupacabra!
Unexplained animal deaths and mutilations have been blamed on The Jersey Devil. Dozens of eyewitnesses claim to have been frightened out of their wits by it. What could this creature possibly be? The theories are similar to those cited for Chupacabra, but something scary definitely seems to be out there in the New Jersey woods. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
