The Devil Hunters

This is a good one (endorsed by 90% of the Devil Hunters). The theory states that the Jersey Devil is merely a creature that has not yet been cataloged and identified by the Department of Wildlife and Conservation. After all, it is a big planet. New creatures are being discovered daily, proving that we don't know everything. It is naive to think we know every creature that inhabits earth. Perhaps there is a creature in the Pine Barrens that has not been discovered yet. (Keep in mind the charred carcass discovered in the 1950's that was unidentifiable by the Dept. of Wildlife and Conservation.)

Similarities: The theory is pliable enough to fit with any similarity of the Jersey Devil's description, since it doesn't describe a creature exactly, but more how one could exist.

Conflicts: Some people think that, in this day and age, with more than 7 million people living in the state of New Jersey, it is impossible for a creature to exist without humans developing some sort of a working knowledge of it. They feel that the creature would have provided proof of its existence beyond a shadow of a doubt if it actually existed. (I of course disagree.)
