Lore

The Jersey Devil is New Jersey's most infamous cryptid, born as the cursed 13th child of Jane Leeds in the Pine Barrens in 1735. A winged, hoofed, horse-headed monster with bat wings, it flies through swamps screeching and attacking livestock. Sightings span centuries, blending colonial folklore, Native legends, and modern cryptozoology into a symbol of the eerie wilderness.
