What happens when an entire region loses its mind for seven days? Join us as we trek into the New Jersey Pine Barrens to hunt the Jersey Devil. We strip away the NHL mascots and pop culture myths to uncover the dark 1909 origin of America’s most famous cryptid.
We break down the Leeds family curse, the “monstrous” political feud with Benjamin Franklin, and the biological reality behind the sightings. Was it a Sandhill Crane, a bear, or something that defies explanation?
