    This is one for the people of my favorite state, New Jersey.

    Here in Jersey we have an area called the pinelands. It was said that a mother who had 12 children lived there, and her husband was a drunk. She hated her life so she cursed her 13th child and he was born with the head of goat, legs of horse, and mixed with many other animals. He flew outta the chimney and has rarely been seen, but he still lurks somewhere in the Pinelands. I believe he's real, I think it'd be pretty cool to see xD

    Yup - that's him. Every once in a while I hear on the news of another "sighting". I hope he stays in The Pinelands and doesn't decide to visit us here in Delaware!!

    That sounds like a interesting legend, snowbelle15. I've always been interested in the parnormal.

    Alyssa, Is there any "pictures" of this Jersey Devil?
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    Nope, no actual pictures, but I'm sure if you searched google you could find many drawings, sketchings of him.

    There is also a mention of the Jersey Devil in the latest Janet Evanovich novel, Plum Spooky.
