Jersey Devil Encounter
by Anonymous

When I was around 15 years old, I had gone on vacation with my friend to Leeds Point, New Jersey. My friend (who was 17 years old) and I decided to go to the woods where the Jersey Devil supposedly lived. We got out of the car to look around. All of a sudden we heard a horrifying scream. I have never heard anything like that before. It creeped out my friend really bad she started to cry and say, "Let's get out of here, please!" I wanted to see what the thing looked like. She said NO! I finally said all right already, so then we started back to the car when we heard the scream again, but it sounded like right behind us. We turned around and nothing was right there.

I was looking all around when my friend grabbed my arm really hard and whispered, "Oh my God! Look over to your left in that huge bush." I turned my head really slowly and looked at it. I couldn't really see it well, but I did see its eyes and horns. I can't explain its eyes, but they were depressing looking and evil looking at the same time. My friend and I took off running as fast as we could, and we could hear it scrambling in the bushes after us. We finally got up the hill and inside the car. So the Jersey Devil really exists.
