There's Something in the Pine Barrens

The forests of North America are dense, tall, and foreboding. So it may come as little surprise that as long as people have lived on the continent, there have been sightings of all manner of beasts and cryptids. Some, like the Canadian Wood Bison, were later discovered to be real. Others, like Bigfoot and the Thunderbird, remain in the grey area where myth, fact, and misidentification meet. But there is one creature so elusive and so bizarre in its appearance that those who’ve seen it claim it can only come from the depths of hell. With stories dating from today back to before America’s founding, how can we possibly explain The Jersey Devil?
