Steven Silkotch's Sighting

Location: Mullica River, NJ Date: April 1966

 
Excerpt from "The Jersey Devil" by James McCloy & Ray Miller:

...attributed to the Jersey Devil was an extraordinary mangling of dogs and livestock near the Mullica River in April, 1966, when Steven Silkotch found his poultry farm ravaged by a ghastly night intruder. To his astonishment, he found strewn about and cruelly mauled the carcasses of 31 ducks, 3 geese, 4 cats, and 2 large dogs, one of which was a 90 lb. German Shepherd. The unfortunate Shepherd's thick collar was chewed to pieces, and his body dragged a quarter of a mile from the scene of the attack.


This is the barn on the Silkotch property, where the Jersey Devil attack was reported to have taken place.
