"The most widely held belief about the origin of the Jersey Devil is that Mrs. Leeds, a resident of Estellville, was distraught when she learned she was expecting for the thirteenth time. In disgust, she cried out, “Let it be the devil!” The story continues that the child arrived and it was a baby devil. The creature then gave a screech unfolded its wings and flew out the window and into the adjacent swamp."
Belief in the Jersey Devil is quite real and based on records of concrete occurrences. Reliable people, including police, government officials, businessmen and many others who so integrity is beyond question, have witnessed the Devil’s activities. To this day, people traveling down the Garden State Parkway or the Atlantic City Expressway reported sightings of “something” or tell stories of strange occurrences. Many continue to believe that the legendary being is still around disturbing the region and will continue to do so for generations to come.

"This same panic is reputed to have struck sleepy Grovers Mill, NJ, with residents piling into their cars, attempting to flee. Ted Perrine and his family are said to have stopped for gas but in their panic forgot to remove the hose and drove away, ripping off the nozzle. A drunken farmer (or several, depending on the narrator) even supposedly shot at the water tower behind the millwright's house, believing it to be an alien tripod."
