Without a doubt, New Jersey’s oldest, most enduring, and important pieces of folklore is the tale of the infamous Jersey Devil. For close to three hundred years now, Jerseyans have told tales of this mythical beast that stalks the Pine Barrens and terrorizes local residents. While some Jerseyans embrace their Devil as nothing more than a quaint figment of our collective imagination, and a unique piece of NJ folk culture, we believe it is very real, and that it's coming for you in your sleep. Sweet dreams!
