The Devil Hunters are a research organization dedicated to discovering the truth about the Jersey Devil and its legend. Our membership is divided into two types - regular and associate. Regular members conduct research in every way possible, which includes our outdoor excursions (aka "Hunts"). Associate members are our online network of researchers, assisting from all over the world.

Our organization was formed in 1999, after founder and president Laura K. Leuter met co-founders Mike McLeer and Shawn Vogel (both now retired). The first expedition into the woods took place in May of 1999. Since the group's birth, the teams have grown and the research fields have broadened. The group has earned some national recognition by being featured in several documentaries, such as TLC's "Monster Hunters" and Fox Family Channel's premiere week of "Scariest Places on Earth".

The Devil Hunters are in search of truth. Contrary to the group's name, this is not an organization with the intentions of capturing or killing the Jersey Devil. Instead, the organization's goal is to answer the questions surrounding the Jersey Devil and its legend. Our stories posted on this website are not fabricated or exaggerated in any way; instead, they are accurate portrayals of the events, information, and discoveries that have been made regarding the Jersey Devil. If we discover that the legend is nothing more than a story told to keep children from wandering through the Pine Barrens at night, then so be it. However, it is our strong belief that there is more to the Jersey Devil than a legend, and it is our intent to gather as much information as possible to prove what really happened and what continues to happen to this day throughout New Jersey.
