Legends And Tales Of The Pine Barrens
The Jersey Devil has garnered a deep following in the Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia areas. Due to the sightings, many believe the Devil to be an actual animal or phenomenon similar to Bigfoot and the Yeti. Believers sometimes site the widespread sightings by crowds of people in "phenomenal week of 1909" as substantial evidence to some kind of occurrence. It is also held by some that the vastness and remote nature of the Pine Barrens could allow a species to remain hidden for a time. Though there are indeed firm believers in the Jersey Devil (or believers that hold that the Jersey Devil sightings are the result of another animal, such as a crane or kangaroo), there are some legendary creatures in the Pine Barrens that most residents unquestionably considered legends.

And the legends of the green chapels
And the twice-told fields of infancy”
