Jersey Devil photographed and caught on tape

This is some good stuff here. I have not laughed so hard in a long time.

Someone needs to add this song to the video clip..

Sadly Snooki is already taken but maybe it can hook up with J Wow.

They could then save money by using the same groomer.

I know a harpy down the road that's single...

Ok ok! I think what I should have said was that I was worried that the goat was being thrown from a height, maybe from a balcony or roof, VIA a tree... I'm sure it isn't possible to climb a tree with a goat and definitely not a llama. Especially one with strap on wings.

Anyway, fake.

You actually cannot tell what the wingspan to body ratio is from this angle in that photo. Just sayin.

You can totally infer the size of the wing span from the photo.

That would be even funnier!
Imagine seeing your neighbor trying to climb a tree with a winged goat in his arms. I would just sip my iced tea from the porch and watch, while thinking "this is going to turn out well".

No need to intervene. Let nature take its course.

You seem so certain, like you have attempted this previously.

Are you a neighbor from New Jersey?

Not a goat but other things yes. I can't tell you what

I like you.


If you ever stop by I have a 100' oak in the front yard and some chinchillas laying around.

A Dog thrown into the air.
Or a mythical creature?.

That's just a mean thing to say to all the harpys out there.

I would post the video, but it looks just way to damn fake.

The vid is not of the same sighting as the story though. But yeah, obviously fake.

I feel awful. Sorry.

Hard to say much without more background info, and photos aren't what they used to be as far as testimony... and this one looks like a stuffed terrier (with additions) chucked into the air.

I've read some compelling testimony, though, about this Jersey Devil thing. As far as cryptids go, this one is so fantastical that if it does exist in some biological manner, then everything we know about biology is wrong.

If it exists, then it's more likely (ha) a quasi-physical beast from dimension x ... OR some mad scientist in the 1700's was doing gene splicing in colonial New Jersey.

It's a much weirder world than most think, and I have experienced and considered some pretty weird things... but this ... I think I found my own limits of belief!

Buuuut... some of the accounts are very believable... and some odd evidence exists... so... ?

That wing span doesn't make sense for the size and shape of that 'animal'

Your right, and neither do the wing's position, which seems to be too far to the rear and they sure don't look as if they are under any kind of load.

Hilarous.....but on the off chance somebody is taken in by this please think about three things about the video clip :

1. The camera was stationary, not scanning, and thus the photographer was clearly expecting something to appear. Sure enough it did full frame, what a freaking coincidence.
2. Compare the ratio of body size to wingspan of know flying animals. That "thing" could not fly to save itself.
3. The legs don't move because they are part of a stuffed object!

I guess you missed the whole 'flung from a tree' theory. I could make that sucker fly given the proper arboreal altitude.

And it will stick the landing.

The guy was in a car, I can see the motion blur in the trees...funny how clear, (in near silhouette though) jumping Jimmy is, you'd almost think he stopped in mid air to pose for the camera...funny that?

Anyway, grab some peanuts,
Ooops! already posted..never mind.

I was under the impression that the Jersey Devil never had wings, was female and some kind of pre-modern human. The X-files episode covered this quite well.

That "X-Files" episode really shouldn't have called it "the jersey devil". Most reports of the jersey devil describe it as a goat-headed, bipedal creature with hooves and leathery, bat-like wings.

Looks fake to me. Those wings couldnt possibly support an animal of that size...And with Halloween coming up, it wouldnt surprise me if theres a jump in "sightings" in western countries
