A prominent piece of New Jersey folklore, the Jersey Devil involves numerous twists and variations in its telling. According to some, the beast was born of the Leeds Mother, a Quaker woman who was considered a sorceress. Because the child was deformed, she kept it locked up until one day it escaped into the wilderness. It began to haunt Leeds Point and from then on was known as the Jersey Devil.
