Judah Friedlander goes on a mission to investigate a creature rumored to have the torso of a man, head of a horse, wings of a bat, feet of a goat and a serpentine tail. Judah and his team of cryptozoologists talk to multiple witnesses who claim they’ve seen the giant winged monster firsthand in the Pine Barrens, N.J. Reports include the creature raiding chicken coops, terrorizing farms, destroying crops, killing animals and even attempting to steal children. Is it a dinosaur? A bird?

often…there is no Jersey Devil. All folklore and myth. A lot of fun this time of year, but nothing there except tale tales.
