Jennifer's Sighting

Location: Leeds Point, NJ Date: 1973

 
I was raised in Leeds Point, and I have never seen the Jersey Devil but sure as hell heard it! I was walking through the woods with my mother and sister. We were on our way to my great grandmother's house when I heard it. My mother said, "Grab your sister and run!" Since she was born and raised in the immediate area (Oceanville), she knew exactly what the sound was and told me all about the Jersey Devil. I do remember that the woods got really quiet and then we heard that "screech". I will never forget that sound, it was like nothing I have ever heard before and have heard nothing even remotely close to it since!
