Jersey Devil Sighting: Mysterious Winged Creature Spotted in Galloway?
It's nothing new when news about some paranormal sighting is being spotted along the New Jersey Pinelands, but it's a different story when the Jersey Devil allegedly makes it way to the area of Galloway.
According to nj.com, for 200 years, the paranormal sighting has been very popular in parts of New Jersey that it became part of the town's history. Many of its residents have claimed that they have seen the Jersey Devil. Stories about it have been part of the town's existence, and, recently, another witness came to light to tell his story about the strange creature.
Dave Black, a security guard at the Little Egg Harbor Township, told his story through email where he gave details about the alleged "Jersey Devil" he encountered while driving.
In his story, he revealed that while he was driving along the golf course in Galloway, he saw a creature that looked like a llama. He doubted what he saw and looked again to confirm. He saw the said creature fly along the Galloway Golf Course with its leathery wings spreading before taking off.
After immediately snapping pictures of the said creature, he noticed that only one picture came out, and that's when he decided to share what he caught on camera.
In his letter, he also said, "Thought I'd send it in for you to share. I'm not looking for anything in return, just though that someone else could maybe explain this in a more rational way." He also said that the photo was not photoshopped, although he's fully aware that people thinks the image was fake. All he wanted was some explanation about the creature.
Hollywood Life also shed some light on the origin of the New Jersey tale. In their report, it said, "A witch, Mother Leeds, and Devil gave birth to a normal child, who eventually changed form to a creature with hooves, a goat's head, bat wings and forked tail. It flew up the chimney after changing, and wasn't seen again until 1890."
If this indeed true, the description of the said creature resembles what has been haunting the town of New Jersey. Skeptic as it may seem, the tale has also been part of the town's "cultural icon." Over the years, there has been no concrete evidence of the Jersey Devil's existence, except for some passing encounter with the creature by some of the town's residents.
