There is a terrible legend in New Jersey, USA, which can be described as a lingering nightmare for the people living in New Jersey at the time, because during this period, an unknown creature suddenly appeared in the area, and in just one week, there were nearly a hundred reports, and the number of witnesses reached thousands of exaggerations.
One day, the New Jersey State Police Department received a strange case in which the farmer reported that he had found a terrible monster on his farm, and this monster would sneak into the farm every day to kill his livestock.
According to the farmer's description, the monster resembled a thin horse in body and face, with short, sharp front paws, very slender hind legs, two hooves, a pair of wings eight feet long behind its back, a pair of curved horns on its head, and eyes as blood-red as burning flames. After listening to the farmer's strange description, the police staff expressed hard belief, they thought that it was just the farmer drinking too much, or a gibberish maniac, so the initial sighting did not attract people's attention.
But later more and more people claimed to have seen this monster, and one witness claimed that a lady was collecting clothes when she saw a strange creature break into the yard, she was frightened and fainted, and her husband rushed over after hearing the call, casually picked up rope and clothes and launched a fierce attack on the monster, but because of the difference in strength, the monster chose to escape.
Others described that their dog went up to attack the monster, but was bitten off a piece of meat by the monster, or the livestock in the yard was attacked and died by unknown creatures, leaving monster footprints near the body, suspected to be the work of the Jersey devil.
The most recent sighting occurred in 1991, when a delivery boy saw a horse-like creature flying by while delivering food, causing a lot of panic in the local area and was once thought to be a Jersey devil.
There are many similar reports, so there is a lot of panic in the local area, and even some places have stopped work, schools, residents fled, and the police have awarded a $10,000 demon hunting bounty. But strangely, a week after this incident, the number of sightings has decreased significantly, can it be that the Jersey Demon is not a monster at all, but just people making up stories to rub the heat?
In fact, there is also a species in nature that looks very similar to the Jersey devil, that is, hammerhead fruit bats, horse-like heads, bat-like wings, and not small, which is very similar to the description of the Jersey devil. But this bat does not exist in New Jersey, maybe this multiple sightings are just an accidental biological invasion, plus the locals do not know this bat, naturally will be frightened, and then add oil and vinegar to your words, the legend of the Jersey devil, and naturally appeared.
There are also many legends about the Jersey devil, one of the most popular is that in the 18th century, a wife gave birth to her 13th child, she was very dissatisfied with the pregnancy, so she said that the devil took his child, and his child really turned into a winged monster, ate his other children, and then flew away from the chimney.
Therefore, insight is very important, and those so-called demons and monsters are often just people's fear of unknown things.
