The Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil is a demon said to inhabit the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey. The legend began in 1735 when Mother Leeds found out she was pregnant with her 13th child, thirteen being seen as an unlucky number to many. With her husband being a drunk who was unable to provide for his family, Mother Leeds live anything but a wealthy lifestyle. Distraught by the news of conceiving her 13th child she yelled to the heavens “Let this one be the devil!” She was seemingly unaware of what was to come.

Many months later she went into labor, having forgotten about her outburst. On a stormy night her family sat in another room, awaiting the arrival of the new baby, while midwives assisted Mother Leeds. According to legend the birth went as expected. The child was born healthy and normal. However within minutes the baby transformed into a gruesome creature before the eyes of its mother and her midwives. The creature then went on to kill Mother Leeds, the midwives, and most of its siblings before flying up the chimney and out into the woods. In another variation of the legend, Mother Leeds experiences a rough labor, only for the demon to rip itself from her womb and fly out the window. Over the years many variations of the legend have been told, but all end with the Jersey Devil flying out into the Pine Barons where it still resides to this day.

Many sightings of the Jersey Devil have been reported over the years. Witnesses claim to see strange footprints in the sandy soils of the Pine Barrens. These footprints are either described as being those of a strange bird, or more hoof-like, similar to those of Satan. Despite seeing these strange footprints, many never actually see the creature. Those who have describe it as having the body of a kangaroo, head of a dog, face of a horse or a goat, large bat-like wings, antlers, a forked reptilian tail, and large claws. The creature is also said to move extremely quickly and emit blood-curdling screams and screeches. However, these claims have never been proven.

The Jersey Pine Barrens are also claimed to not be the only locations where the elusive demon has been spotted. Eyewitnesses claim to have also spotted the devil in neighboring states such as Delaware and Pennsylvania, but these claims have also never been proven.

Regardless of whether the creature exists or not, the Jersey Devil has made a huge impact on not just NJ locals or cryptozoologists, but also pop culture. The Jersey Devil has been seen in video games, films, and TV. The devil made an appearance in an episode of the-X-files, where he was portrayed as a strange feral man/hermit, rather than a gruesome looking demon. The name of NJ’s NHL hockey team, the Jersey Devils, is also inspired by the legend! For years to come the legend of Mother Leeds and her cursed 13th child will captivate the minds of anyone brave enough to believe the stories. Until we know of its existence for sure, stay curious my friends!👽

The Ningen is a creature of Japanese origin. The word “Ningen” translates to “human”, regarding the humanlike appearance of the creature itself. The creature is said to be nocturnal, most active at night, and have eyes and mouth but no other distinguishable facial features. Supposedly the creature ranges from 60-90 feet in length, has a blubbery body like a whale, is albino , and has a very humanlike form. Some eyewitnesses claim that the creature is actually relative in size to that of a human, possesses a mermaid-like tail, or has hand-like appendages. Others believe they have leg-like appendages which allow them to also walk on land, but these claims have never been proven. The creature was first discovered by a Japanese Research Vessel in the 1990’s. At first the crew believed that they had spotted a foreign submarine but soon realized that it was actually a living being. It is rumored that the crew aboard the ship were able to do extensive research and even shoot some photos and videos of the creature, however this information has never been released to the public. It is said that the research on the creature was never released due to government interference. These days it is rumored that the Japanese Government even monitors internet posts and removes anything related to the Ningen, strengthening the claim that the crews research may have been kept secret by the government. A more likely reason is that the crew, being professional researchers, did not want to make their research public and be mocked by the scientific community for being associated with a paranormal creature. But this has also never been proven. The Ningen first rose to popularity in 2007 after an article about the creature was released in a Japanese Magazine. The article also featured screenshots from Google Maps of a supposed Ningen swimming off the coast of Namibia. After the article’s release many witnesses came forward saying that they too had seen such a creature. Soon enough the internet was exploding with supposed sightings of the creature. Many believe that a lot of these photo and video sightings are too good to be true and that most, if not all of them, are just hoaxes. On a more serious note, if the Ningen actually exists and is not just legend, then we will always have very limited information on the creature, as we do now. This is due the creatures very remote location in the Arctic. The trip alone would be too costly, not to mention the amount of equipment and researches needed for such a task. Because of this we may never know if the Ningen is just a legend or an undiscovered species. Until we find out, stay curious my friends!👽

19th June 1767, death of the creature known as ‘La Bête du Gévaudan’ or the Beast of Gévaudan a wolf like creature who terrorized the area of Gévaudan in France between 1764 and 1767. The creature was reported as attacking and killing between 100 to 200 people, by tearing out their throats over a 56 by 50 mile area. Causing public hysteria that the creature was supernatural in origin, it was hunted by the French government, the army, and two professional wolf-hunters. The story created a peak in newspaper sales after it was sensationalized over the course of the killings. The creature was eventually killed on this day by a local hunter named Jean Chastel. Upon killing the creature the myth that Chastel used a blessed silver bullet of his own manufacture began to circulate. The story was reported in detail in ‘La Gazette de France’, one of the oldest French newspapers printed from 1631 – 1915. Art shown is a recreation of the newspaper.

22nd May 1666, death of German Jesuit and natural philosopher Gaspar Schott. His 1662 book ‘Physica Curiosa’ is a compendium of engravings and stories based upon monsters and bizarre animals considered at the time to exist, and also physical abnormalities and deformities. Although dating from the medieval period, the persistence of fabled creatures in the imagination continued, as we shall see. 23rd May 1707, birth of Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician Carl Linnaeus, the "father of modern taxonomy" for his formulation of the system of naming organisms. Studying plants and animals, he published Systema Naturae in 1735, which outlined his ideas for the hierarchical classification of the natural world, dividing it into the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom, and the "mineral kingdom". Also included are dragons, the phoenix, sirens, and the manticore, as well as frogs that revert back to tadpoles, and a plant whose fruit is in the form of sheep. Such was the persistence of the existence of these mythological creature that they were included in Linnaeus' Systema Naturae until the sixth edition. In 1735, Linnaeus travelled to the Dutch republic to study medicine, stopping at Hamburg he was invited by the Mayor to see the town’s natural wonder, the remains of a seven-headed hydra, which the local monks claimed to be the Beast of Revelation. The town was in the process of auctioning off the beast for an enormous sum, Linnaeus was eager to see the fabled creature, and subsequently disappointed when he saw that it was the size of a dog, and had been stitched together from the remains of a snake and a weasel Publicly declaring the creature to be a fake, (continued in the comments) #fabled #cryptid #cryptidcore #cryptids #cryptidart #cryptidartist #cryptidsighting #cryptidaesthetic #medievalbeasts #carllinnaeus #historyofscience #strangehistory #bizarre #bizarrehistory #strangetales #weirdhistory #monstersamongus #zoology #zoologist #curiositycabinet #taxonomy #gothictales #cryptidcreatures #strangecreatures #hydra #manticore #hamburggermany #mythologyart #mythologymemes #mythologicalcreatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQwGfMnDt4/?utm_medium=tumblr
