Unnerving shrieks, mysterious foot prints, bizarre sightings? Learn all about the surprising history of the New Jersey Devil.

Myths and legends often have some kernel of historical truth.  So, what can we make of the Jersey Devil myth?  Is any part of the tale rooted in fact?  Historian and archivist Mickey DiCamillo discusses the origins of New Jersey's most famous mythological monster and identifies the real-life creatures (some human...some beast) that inspired the story that lives on today.
