Well, dont forget that it was a family with 2 small children. The kid who first saw the creature was shaken up about it. Could be some dimented parents trying to scare the living crap out of their kids by hoaxing a flying, horned beast. But who has that kinda time? Smile

^^ yeah. If we follow the familys storey, then it couldn't have been a large cat, it was definetly a flying creature with huge footprints. They said it cleared the 85 foot space in mere seconds (a space between the treetops and the roof). I DO admit, that the family COULD have been liers, and even fooled their kids into beleiving that something huge with horns and "terrible eyes" flew across.

What do you all think about the possibility that the family hoaxed it and tricked their kids, just for some attention? I doubt it but its possible.

yeah it could happen, but it's a lot of trouble of making the prints on the roof and the scratch marks. But yeah, there is always the possibility that it is a hoax with anything.

This is my favorite cryptid, so its worth posting that I dreamed about the thing last night, scary as hell. I've read so many stories about it that I beleive what I visualised in my dream is very close to the real thing. It was terrible, I awoke thinking it was so horrible that I shall never venture to find it even tho I had loose plans of visiting the area in the near future. In the light of the day I'm still interested. Not sure how, because it was an awful figure;seemingly real because it was a vivid dream, with horrible giant eyes and horns, a man-beast running at a quick rate of speed thru the pine trees, teathered wings flapping and the hoofs clomping about. Gives me the chills.

I was born and raised in tabernacle nj, smack in the middle of the pine barrens, camped every summer in chatsworth ( also in the pines) and spent a fair amount of time with various boyfriends in deerstands. Other then a few scary pineys ( local name for redknecks) and a few jersey jack stills, never saw anything to indicate the exsistence of the jersey devil. I am an avid fan of cryptozoology, but unfortunaly, i dont think this one is a reality. I lean towards the whole real estate scam theory. but, if i am wrong, i'll gladly eat my hat.

Shortly before the legend of Mother leeds began to circulate, the pine barrens became a very hot realestate property . THe multiple underground streams with fresh water, the climate and the proximatey to the beach made it prime for commercialization. Fast forward to the present, because of the flora and fawna not found anywhere else but the pinebarrens of nj,it is protected from development. But, in the late 1800's early 1900's everyone wanted a piece of the land. Familes that had resided there for years were fearful of the encroachment on their farm land. Many court battles were fought. Then, the mother leeds story broke, a legend was born and superstitious surverors no longer wished to be out in the pines, which by the way is very dark and lonely, with lots of weird sounds to those that dont live there. Real estate dried up, no one was intereseted in building anymore and the rest is history. THere is a fantastic book called legends in the pines, that relays a good bit of the history with lots of historical documents to back it up. Well worth the read if you enjoy folktales, legends and a hint of cryptozoology.

Well, I was in new jersey a couple months back, but didn't see any devil. I suppose he wouldn't come into the airport anyways.
