In 1735 on a dark and stormy night, Jane Leeds was giving birth to her 13th child. Many stories go she gave birth to a monster with an elongated face, bat like wings, and cloven hooves. The creature let out a terrible scream then crawled up the chimney taking flight into the nearby Pine Barrens. This creature would live the rest of it's life terrorizing people all across the Northeastern parts of the United States and become known as "The Jersey Devil".
