While many aspects of the Jersey Devil legend seem too fantastical to believe, there have been hundreds of sightings of a strange creature in South Jersey over the years. Is it possible that a rare, undiscovered species has taken up residence in there? Are all of the sightings hoaxes, or are people simply mistaking some other kind of animal for a demon? Or, as Harry Leeds, a former mayor and direct descendant of Mother Leeds claims, does a devil still stalk the Pine barrens to this day?
