For nearly 300 years, stories of the Jersey Devil have haunted the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.

According to legend, the creature was born in 1735 when a woman known as Mother Leeds cursed her unborn child. Moments later, the child transformed into a winged beast and vanished into the night.

But behind the legend lies a real family, political controversy, and generations of fear, rumor, and superstition that transformed the "Leeds Devil" into one of America's most enduring cryptids.

Did the Jersey Devil begin as a frightening tale... or did something in the Pine Barrens eventually give the legend a life of its own?

Join us as we explore another mystery from the Book of Beyond.
