The Jersey Devil: Prince of the Pine Barrens Part 2

Published: June 24, 2017, 3:05 a.m.

Southern New Jersey is steeped in the legend of The Jersey Devil, with the eponymous rascal inspiring everything from the names of businesses to stickers and T-shirts for tourists.\xa0 But as one "South Jersey" native has informed us, The Pine Barrens themselves may be nothing like what outsiders envision, with most of it being "lush, green and beautiful" and a joy to explore.\xa0 Also, maybe almost no one from the area believes the myth themselves.\xa0 However, it seems in the case of the legend of Jersey Devil \u2013 there are two distinct yet connected phenomenal elements at play: the ye olde myth, and the otherworldly thing that more than a few people swear they've encountered.\xa0 So what do you say to them?\xa0 Are you sure all they saw or heard was an owl, a stray African bat, a mutant goat havin' a laugh, or that good ol' well-worn chestnut the Sandhill Crane?\xa0 Because now these accounts become much like any other testimony of the paranormal; those who have not experienced it probably won't believe it, but those that have can never forget it.
