| The Jersey Devil |
Folklore says that the Jersey devil was born as follows: It was said that Mother Leeds had twelve children and after she had her thirteenth child that if she had another it would be the devil. It was a dark stormy night and Mother Leeds was in labor she was surrounded by friends and when the child was born It started out as a normal baby but then It changed into the Jersey Devil It is said that it killed the midwife and flew away up the chimney.
It was said that Mother Leeds was a witch, and the child's ( when I say child I mean the Jersey Devil) father was the Devil.The Jersey Devil was also called the Leeds Devil. ( I personally don't believe in the Jersey Devil ).
A local farmer shot an unidentified creature attempting to steal his chickens. And he claimed that none of 100 people could guess what it was. ( I presume he thought it was the Jersey
Devil). ( I think it was a coyote or cougar If they live in New Jersey which I presume they do ).
