The New Jersey Pine Barrens hold so many wild and dramatic secrets that we know this won\u2019t be the only episode we devote to them. This week we\u2019ll take a little walk through Piney history before focusing on the main event, Jersey\u2019s very own monster\u2026 (not all state\u2019s have one, so we\u2019re very proud), the Jersey devil!\xa0\n\xa0\nMany of you will be familiar with the story of Mother Leeds and her cursed 13th child, but hang on to your hat because the origins of this dark and stormy tale are not what you might expect. Join us on quite the wild ride straight into the heart of the weird state we call home. \n\xa0\nClick to learn more\nThe story of Lord Cornbury\nNorman Jeffries Devil madness\nThe Devil\u2019s Government page\nInformation on forced Piney sterilization\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*The Domestic Life of the Jersey Devil: or, BeBop's Miscellany\xa0- A book by Bill Sprouse (a descendent of the Jersey Devil)\n*Affiliate Link\nWWBD Merch\nBuy your WWBD swag here!\xa0\nJoin the Conversation
