The Week The Jersey Devil Came Out Of The Woods

This week marks the 106th anniversary of when many in New Jersey became convinced that a real life monster — horns, fangs, claws and all — was lurking in the Pine Barrens.

Farmers and townsfolk across South Jersey repeated similar stories: nocturnal shrieks and hisses, bumps in the nights, a strange figure on rooftops, odd markings and footprints in the snow and even mutilated pets.
