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. 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. Also, maybe almost no one from the area believes
the myth themselves. However, it seems in the case of the
legend of Jersey Devil – 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. So what do you say to them? 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? 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.
