So your thinking,"Why should I care about a huge horse-like beast that wants to eat my head off?" My answer... you shouldn't! That is exactly why I'm telling you!(Ohhhhhh, the look on your face...well I can't see your face but I can imagine it.)

 * //__Where:__//** The Pine Barrens
 * //__What:__//** Said to have the head of a horse,face of a collie dog,large bat-like wings with a four foot long serpent-like body.It has bright, red and shining eyes. It is thought to be around seven feet tall. It's large, powerful hind legs make up for it's smaller front legs. With it's serpent tail it might just look like your mom.

There are many diffferent versionns of the Jersey Devil's birth and life. I will show my favorite three but if you want to see them all go to http://www.thefixsite.com/jerseydevil/jdlegend.html.

__Version 1.0(Also the most famous one)__ In 1735, a woman named Mrs.Leeds, who already had twelve children, gave birth to a thirteenth child. Through labor she said "May the Devil take this one!" As the baby came out it turned into a devil and flew up the chimmeny.

__Version__ __4.1__ A person named Norman Jefferies went to hunt the devil. The first day a really pretty girl came up to him and told him to stop. Everyday Norman went out hunting the girl followed telling him to stop. After a while he began to notice how pretty she was. Soon they got married.A couple years past and she was dieing. She asked him if he remembered how they met and he did not. She told him that she was the sister of the Jersey Devil and he was just a deformed and mental kid. Her parents had left him in the woods to fend for himself and had to eat the crops and livestock which is why people think the Jersey devil is an animal.

__Version 5.0__ Hessian or Slavic immagrants immagrated to the Pine Barrens and because the soil was so hard to farm the immagrants blamed it on a imaginary,Satanic monster which became the Jersey Devil.

__Conclusion:__ If you ever see a huge dark figure one night while you're out walking, hope that it's your mom going for a midnight stroll.....all alone......in the middle of the night .....walking in a forest................wait, why are YOU out in the middle of the woods in the middle of the night anyway!

__//**Comments:**//__ juliannaF: This is an awesome page. If the Jersey Devil would eat people would it prefer adults or kids/teens? Author to juliannaF: Adults if it was hungry 'cause they're bigger and kids/teens if it wanted a snack 'cause they taste better than adults. alizy87: Haha!! I love this page. I've read about the Jersey Deil a lot, I used to be obsessed with it, yeah i know, weird. I love the conclusion though! haha! stephanie81- This page is really neat. There is a lot of information in it which is a good thing because without enough information people would not completely understand the jersey devil. This page is very informative.
