The Jersey Devil - American Folklore

Deep in a remote area of Southern New Jersey, that extends for 1700 square miles, an area known as the Pine Barrens, is said to be home to a flying, bipedal creature known as The Jersey Devil. Originally known as the Leeds' Devil or The Devil of Leeds, sightings of this entity have been whispered of since the 18th Century. The Pine Barrens is a heavily, wooded area that sits atop a coastal plain and it's one of the only places you can see pygmy pines, whose growth are stunted by the frequent fires and sandy terrain of the region. The Pine Barrens are generally cool and quiet, but the shadows cast are foreboding, alluding to a terrifying creature that stalks within. The area is a giant aquifer and tannin produced from the enormous cedar trees, stain the rivers red.
