Talking about the eastern coast of New Jersey which is full of NJ lore and mythology. You can find out some historical happenings that have given birth to the NJ legends. The Jersey devil is on the top of all mysteries in the state of New Jersey. He is highly vague enigmatic which has puzzled and hypnotized audiences for many years. The main reason for discussing the beast as just one more myth is that many popular and renowned pеople have claimed to see it.
Thе mixture of different creatures.
The New Jersey devil has a weird description, with the mixture of appearance of different currently resembled animals. The creature was apparently described as a hoofed crypid, but there are many opposite views on how he looked like. The general eyewitnesses defined as a kangaroo, but the head was described as a horse, bat wings and large claw like legs with hoofs, an ugly face and a tail having forked fork. Some people have said that his body was just like an alligator. Evidently this creature lived in the southern pine barrens of New Jersey. It was often called as a ‘‘bloodcurdling scream’’. He moved quickly and jumped like a bird, it has been called by many other nicknames like the flying death, the horse kangaroo, flying horse, the cowboy and a prehistoric lizard .The governor of new jersey Walter Edge has said that "When we were children, our parents never threatened us with ghosts, we were threatened with the Jersey Devil, morning, noon, and night." No doubt it was not a fake creature it was real however today many people have no believe in it.
The Devil of Leeds
Legend has it that there was a lady, who is known only by her surname: Leeds. She had 12 children, and when she found out she was pregnant again, she cursed the child to come, saying that this would be the devil himself.
Then it was time for delivery, a rainy night in 1735. The child was born healthy and normal, like an ordinary baby, but soon began to transform. In place of their feet, hooves were formed like that of horses. His head became a horse's head. He got dragon-like wings and a split tail.
The baby monster then growled menacingly and killed his own mother in front of her friends, who helped with the delivery. Then he ran to the fireplace, where he fled through the chimney.
He circled the small village three times and finally flew towards the Pine Barrens forest.
After that he was not seen until around 1900, when several people in the vicinity of New Jersey claimed to have seen the bizarre creature.
Dragon, Devil, Dino-bird
The legend of the Jersey Devil in America is supposed to be a local story. In trying to figure out what the Jersey Devil was, I opted to search history for some better answers, and soon found a potential candidate. In the modern period, the European dragon is often depicted as a large, lizard-like creature that spits fire, has scales, and has horns; The creature also has bat-like wings, two or four legs, and a long, prehensile muscular tail. The Jersey Devil breathes fire too! This was too similar a resemblance to ignore. The "Jersey Devil" is basically the American name for a dragon.
Origins
There are many possible roots of Jersey devil legends. The Pine Barrens, as their name suggests, were avoided by early settlers as a desolate, threatening area. The barrens provided a natural refuge for those who wished to remain in hiding, beginning with religious dissidents, loyalists, fugitives, and deserted soldiers in colonial times. It is easy to imagine early tales of terrible monsters resulting from a combination of the sightings of genuine animals such as bears, the activities of pineys, and awe of the towering barrens themselves. Of course, the most influential, and probably the most important, the roots of Jersey Devil's Tales are the testimonials of people who came in contact with the creature, from before European settlers arrived to the present day.
