The Jersey Devil, of the New Jersey Pinelands, has haunted the area for the past 260 years. It has terrorized towns and caused factories and schools to close down.

The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves.  Though it is thought to be surprisingly small, stretching to just 56 cm.  The Jersey Devil often walks upright on its back legs looking like a crane.
