About this listen

 The legend of the Jersey Devil, also known as the Leeds Devil, is one of America's most enduring and perplexing crypto-zoological mysteries. Rooted in the dense, forbidding wilderness of the New Jersey Pine Barrens—a vast, untamed expanse of pinelands and cedar swamps that blankets a fifth of the state—this cryptid's history is a rich tapestry of folklore, religious conflict, and mass hysteria. For centuries, the Jersey Devil has been a source of both terror and fascination, with its reputation cemented by a flood of reputable eyewitness accounts and a bizarre, inconsistent physical description. It is a creature born of fire and fear, a phantom of the pines that has haunted the American imagination for nearly 300 years.
