Description
The Jersey Devil, the best-selling book on New Jersey’s infamous Jersey Devil with over 75,000 in print. Now back in print this new edition of the classic will bring the tale to a whole new generation. In the course of its extraordinary history, the Jersey Devil has been exorcised, shot, electrocuted, declared dead, and scoffed at as sheer foolishness none of which has had any apparent effect on it or the people who continue to see it. This mysterious creature is said to prowl the lonely sand trails and mist-shrouded marshes of the Pine Barrens, and emerge periodically to rampage through the towns and cities of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.
Authors, James McCloy and Ray Miller, Jr. uncover some of the deceitful and bizarre sightings of the beast and plant doubt in the stories and theories of many other sightings. However, the Jersey Devil has been seen by enough sane, sober, and responsible citizens to keep the possibility of its existence alive and tantalizing. Many theories about the Jersey Devil’s origin are discussed and carefully reviewed and explained by the authors.
