- Since 1735, legend has it that a demonic creature has stalked the woods of one of America's oldest states; the Devil has given its name not just to hockey teams but to shops, wine, musical bands and a dizzying array of memorabilia.

I grew up in southern NJ. When I was little, if you stayed out after dark, the elders would tell you to get indoors or the Jersey Devil would get you. Awhile ago, I heard that a State Trooper says he saw it.
I lived less than a half a mile from the Jersey Devil house for 12 years and heard those ungodly screams all the time. They were foxes. A fox screams to communicate with other foxes. It's called a vixen scream.
The fox's up here have screams that soud like children or a women in distress
The creepy part is outside the window on the front yard when they chase a rabbit 🐇 🐰
The sounds...
@@tonyengland420 yeah and that woman said this did not sound like that its demonic
I'm from Millington TN. I lived about 3 miles from the bfro rep# 415. I've heard a lot of strange things.
😢😮😮😮😢😮😮😮😢😢😢😮😢😮🎉🎉😢😮😢😢😢🎉😢😢
I once got hissed at by nessie the sea serpent
I have seen this episode many times and it never gets old.
👍👍
We all love to believe in town legends. I’m a lifelong Jersey resident. I love this shit. We go out to the pine barons every summer to swim. There’s a beautiful man made lake out there. The blue hole. The water it’s tropical looking.
in winslow?
In Jackson
I love swimming holes like that where there's always a back story of something scary
Cool stories love legends and myths regardless if they are real or not they're interesting
8:32 - Congratulations on ruining the entire documentary.
I heard two accounts of eye witness of the Devil. I'd be pleased to share.
The way she describes it along with the human tendency to exaggerate makes me believe we’re dealing with a 6-8 foot tall creature with massive wings, the capability to cause minor lacerations at BEST, a massive wingspan of probably close to 12 feet, this thing would be an incredible find for science
As a Jersey boy born and raised, you know never to want to encounter the Jersey Devil and you DON’T EVER touch the Devil’s Tree.
forever
This is crazy love it!
"They say that everytime you see the Jersey Devil, a war is coming." That tells me very little. There's always a war.
Really cool shots of popular places
My uncle and I saw the Jersey Devil in 1979. I had a summer job with my uncle when I was a sophomore at Pemberton Township High School. We were driving thru the Pine Barrens about 1 AM. It flew out of the trees right in front of us!! Uncle Dave almost wrecked trying to avoid the dang thing!!! I just about peed my pants!!
There's a huge horned owl. The scream could have been a screech and they mentioned that it hopped. Owls do that.
It's a giant carnivorous hammerhead bat, presumably prehistoric species that never died out.
Never died out, bought some real estate, and works in local government and waste disposal.
Interesting theory.
It is not bull. Far from it. You spend a night there. I did. I had a loaded gun, and I was still scared of that thing.
This could be the very reason why they don't want to make pot legal😮😮😮😮😮
The Jersey Devil? I compromised. I ate grilled cheese off the rattiatuh (radiator.)
As a Jersey kid in the early 70s we were shown a black and white movie in school. It was called Mother Leeds' 13th Child, made probably in the early 60s, and it scared the living shit out of us. I was terrified of it growing up. As an adult I got a copy of the book Weird NJ. I read the section on the Jersey Devil and about sightings in the late 80s, and how police actually shot at it in 1909. That just made it worse.
I live here. Born and raised 63 years. I'm still afraid 😨
🌲🚣♀️🌲🌲 something is giving me chills.
Ive seen it from about 60ft away..
friggin purdy lol
Pt. Pleasant ,WV has the Mothman! NJ has the Jersey Devil ! Anything is possible! 🤔🤔🤔
Look up the Xanue Forest people
First time seen this story .. it’s funny how we call out bs or crazy people but when you unexpectedly experience crazy unbelievable things like this 😮I’ve learned you just can’t make people believe till it happens to them like it did too me 🤷🏻♀️.. what I captured in a picture wow no explanation not the devil but a beautiful 😇 .. no orbs or shadows but a full body well defined silhouette 🤷🏻♀️ I know I know I was that person who laughed and called it bs …till don’t know why me but it did indeed happen to me ..
In a small town in Mexico called Sabinas. There was always a tale about a big bird that had fallen from the sky with shinny skin. It was put in a box and locked away for years. It was in the 1940s. In 2015 the mayor had the box opened and it was a military weather ballon. Lol
I remember I was in the woods in New Jersey driving along the dirt road on my motorcycle then I'll send the only thing I can get on my radio was Nickelback , then I saw in on the road.
Oftentimes people say "why would they all make it up, they have nothing to gain." Well here you go. Idk why they do it but unless it's a demon trying to deceive people or something, you're dealing with people telling lies to a camera. The stranger phenomenon is that people will sit there and make up stories of shooting at monster horses and putting dirt in jars under their beds to protect themselves from bizarre creatures.
Look up the jersey devil 1906 sightings. even Joseph Bonaparte claimed to have seen it when he lived at His estate Point Breeze.
32:25 Could not hear how quiet it was because the music was too damn loud.
That's about as far as I got due to the constant Stuck Poop and ghetto free $5000 ads every 2 min.
A guy called “The Explained Universe” literally stole this entire video but replaced the thumbnail with a picture of the goat man, he didn’t change a single thing
"Someday in the late fall listen carefully when you hear the wind coming off the ocean through the pines. It almost seems someone is trying to tell us something, possibly someone's name. ***In his best spooky voice ***Old mother Leeds, old mother Leeds."
It would be a challenge to take him seriously as a professor after seeing that clip. Any guesses on what he teaches?

I'm a believer.. I get it if you think I'm crazy. That's fine.. but it's real. Had my own encounter. That's why I chose to live across the country.
Menantico Ponds in the Pine Barrens. There was a cult that worshipped by the water. In 1970 people who went camping there heard this cult. There was sing-song chanting and pounding drums. However speculation that thèse drums were in fact oil barrels.
People made claims to witnessing this cult ...by hiding and watching them. This was in 1970 . People in the Vineland high school were making claims that they witnessed a large group of people dressed in robes and wearing masks.
There was talk of the "One Hundred Year Ritual " and how it took place in 1871 and that it was to take place again in 1971.
In 1971 Mike Newell asked his 2 friends to tie and bound him and push him into the water.. He said he had to die violently so that he could return as a captain to rule over 40 leagues of demons.
After his body submerged...his 2 friends were arrested and admitted right away to the killing. After arresting his 2 friends Charles Pangburn of the Millville police had confiscated evidence that he refused to reveal at the inquest. The ìnquest into widespread cultic activity in the area. Somewhere he had information or an idea that a large group of people had wrapped chains around Newell and dumped him overboard, ( so to speak), instead of an isolated incident involving 3 boys.
He began interrogating members of a church in Vineland. In years to come my first wife (RIP). would get involved with this group and suffer ritual abuse. The situations i experienced with her were brutal. She had been abused by a bunch of sadisticc bravados.
The use of human sacrifice is older than recorded history and the use of such a sacrifice for cause to gain power can be found in the Bog Burials in Northern Ireland.
There is also much on the subject in the J.G. Fraziers classic The Golden Bough.
The difficulty in the Michael Newell case is that his sacrifice is directly tied into Christian Satanism ( in his belief) that his self sacrifice would engender the protection/aid of Christian demons. His reference of 40 leagues is a Judeo-Christian concept to be found in Colin De Plancey + others...derived from medieval theologians where demons had hierarchies and legions or leagues.....
Hey my brothers car broke down out in the pine barrens in the early 80s and NO TOW TRUCK would come out there . Car still sitting there till this day im sure . 😆
forever
The jersey deevil is just a guy who ownes a rabid kangaroo and can't get it to come in late at night..like a cat..it loves to get out..late at knight
Has anyone went to or remember back in the later to middle 80’s going to turkey swamp park for a jersey devil hunt at night. I was a young child at that time my family went on this hunt we also got cool blk jersey devil shirts lol
Dude wit the classes I’m the library looking place, yeah okay it was ozzy Osborne coming out. I mean there is a nj devil.
The Pine Barrens is 1700 hundred square miles which covers seven counties. That's pretty large
Some of the stories don’t match at all, and the song mother Leeds or what ever it is just ridiculous, but it is a fun legend
Can’t you smell it’s cheap cologne?
best comment
U know people say they want to see the monster but they moment the actually get to see it they are terrified wishing to god it was a legend
forever
Ahhh the bird's told on him.....there are bird's that live there....
We used to party with the Jersey Devil all the time at Batsto Village...he sure liked to drink and smoke around d the campfire, Sure do miss the old days
39 minutes in says she thinks it has no one to go to and is lost. Girl! I will bring beef jerky and candy. Maybe it just wants to talk and have a snack.
I'VE HEARD OF THIS BUT NEVER SAW IT ☦️🪖🐾🌎
foxes,owls,coyotes scream
It's interesting that a tow truck driver, who is also a town mayor, who has probably been called to clean up fatal accidents as well as nonfatal wrecks and breakdowns, drives his truck while being interviewed not wearing a seat belt. Another politician and the "rules for thee, but not for me!" complex. As for the Jersey Devil, I find it the most unbelievable cryptid: what creature evolves to have hooves for feet, but claws on his forelimbs or arms, or for that matter wings but supposed to land with hooves? Throw in bioluminescent eyes on a creature who doesn't live in the deep sea but lives on the surface and flies. It's based on the christian fairytale of Satan clearly.
"In New Jersey there lurks a strange monster"
Yeah, a resident of New Jersey.
Have you seen their table manners?
Fucking terrifying.
Witches don't pray to God. Why would anyone want their child to be a "Devil"?
The people from the area can't even get the lore correct. Lol.
Horses don't have paws.
...bruh
Because the "God" she believed in was in fact Lucifer who parades around as an angel of Light - and tries to imitate Jesus in all ways, even in His Divinity; Lucifer deceives and is the father of lies.
What road is it on? I want to go there.😮 I don’t know if I believe everyone but it sounds real.
The residents of leeds County need to stop eating those funny mushrooms
Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
It's a Jersey thing you wouldn't undah-stand
Well if he was seen at seaside he might have went dwn to colliers mills Jackson nj
Biggest issue is one of the main "stars" refers to it as the "New Jersey Devil". It's the "Jersey Devil", as if you live here, the word "New" is never part of the language. Its always "Jersey"
I believe in Bigfoot but this story sounds like some Scooby Doo shit.
Lemme guess, it was blessed with the same superpower that Bigfeetses have...the ability to make all cameras take blurry pics.
I believe that lady with the glasses she’s not lying nor is the other guy wit the van.
What is the name of the 13th child? Perhaps what is happening is that he is in a kind of limbo: he was ultimately possessed by Lucifer as a pre-born child. It is not unusual for shapeshifting to occur in the demonic realm so this explains the change from a normal blonde hair boy with blue eyes. Perhaps what people see is his soul - most people who die and have unresolved issues from their life remain in between heaven and hell until proper prayers are offered for the repose of their souls. If what they say is true about his family, birth, and subsequent life, then he needs deliverance and redemption; it wasn't his fault that his mom cursed his existence and cast him into the satanic realm by her anger.

I wonder how many of these types of stories are dismissed or labeled fake. Imagine they were all legitimate but we are all so skeptical 🤔
That’s goofy.
I would just like to say that I live within 15 miles of these people and I apologize.Because they are saying some of the dumbest s***I've ever heard in my life and it's embarrassing
The old lady is lying. Watch her eyes close when she said " I could have been dead!" That's not something you blink while saying if true.
No way! People would never lie to get on TV!
i mean... i'm not exactly convinced one way or the other but body language is tricky. like not everybody has the same body language. i think people in situations like these are definitely likely to suffer from some level of confirmation bias like that one guy said but like.. idk if i'd discredit this person's stories just because of a couple eye movements
Hahahahahaha😂😂😂😂
it was the jeepers creepers monster lol
My grandma had 14 kids. 7 boys and 7 girls. None of them was a devil.
❤
Mass hysteria
All legends or myths are rooted in truth. Just like Noah’s Flood.
Easy to tell: a demon! What the heck else could it be??
The spawn of a demon?
My ex wife
@@ThatOneGuy-AskYourMom experts tend to agree
@@ThatOneGuy-AskYourMom The Jersey Devil watches documentaries about my ex wife.
It could be a giant bat similar to the African bat. Just as there are dinosaurs still alive in remote parts of the rarely explored and unexplored world, such as the Congo in Africa and PNG and the Amazon Forest. It possibly migrates to a warmer climate in winter months.
this shit is funny. ngl
I call BS on this story, especially the birth story if "truth" be known. However, you have to admit it is a fun legend.
The jersey devil is the realest Dominic creature. It's no meth its s true story. People that calls BS is bullshitting themselves
As a Southerner, all I can say is, if the Devil had a earthly home in the United States it would be in New Jersey.......Or more likely, Washington DC. 🤠
I would have said Florida.
@@EseJandrono it’s definitely DC
DC most likely
Cape May New Jersey is a lovely place ❤❤❤. Angels hover there❤️
Couple things people should know about Jersey.
1) we have Pork Roll, which is second only to Bacon.
2) we often use the F word as a adjective, verb, and noun.
3) and technically according to an official map from DC comics, Gotham City is in New Jersey. So Batman is a Jersey boy.
I think a group of Christian✝️ preachers should go to New Jersey together and try to exercise it out of this world and commandant it to go to the feet of Jesus and let him deal with it while doing it all in the name and Authority of Jesus Christ✝️ this is what should be done in order to get rid of it once and for all!
If you don't believe Stfu stop watching 😊
Fake nothing out there
Wow. What a bunch of hogwash for a story.
Say that in the Pinelands😂
