10. In 1972, A Massive Jersey Devil Crossed Greentree Road
In Southern New Jersey, Greentree Road is a very long street that runs through several towns. A woman named Mary Ritzer Christianson was leaving the town of Blackwood and heading towards Glassboro, when she spotted a creature crossing the street in her rearview mirror. The animal was roughly 25 feet away from the back of her car. It had the head of a horse, and woolly haunches, like a goat. But it stood upright like a man, and had a set of leathery wings. Most likely, she slammed her foot on the acceleration and got out of dodge.
While this area has a lot of woods surrounding it, Greentree Road does not actually run through the Pine Barrens. But based on its description, it sounds exactly like what the Jersey Devil is supposed to look like. For people who believe in the existence of the Jersey Devil, they think that the creature was born in the Pine Barrens, but that it has the ability to fly to other parts of New Jersey. Christianson probably told everyone she knew about the creature she spotted that night, and this story ended up being published in Weird NJ Magazine.
