À propos de cet audio

 Long before it became a local legend or a hockey team mascot, the Jersey Devil was terrorizing the pine-scented woods of southern New Jersey. In this episode, we trace the tale from its murky colonial origins, including the infamous Leeds family and their alleged cursed 13th child, all the way through centuries of sightings, hoaxes, and folklore. Was it a demon, a deformed child, or just a case of 18th-century mudslinging gone wild? We’ll untangle fact from fiction, explore how the creature became a permanent resident of American myth, and find out why people are still searching the Pine Barrens for something with wings, hooves, and a face only a mother could love.
