This Urban Legends Hotline episode features listener Brandon's inquiry about the legend of the Jersey Devil, a cryptid that has haunted the Pine Barrens of New Jersey for three hundred years. We will explore the various historical events that produced this creature's folklore: a dime museum's elaborate hoax, a radical Puritan woman said to have birthed a monster, a bitchy Quaker feud rife with satanic accusations, and the impoverished people of the Pine Barrens who helped cultivate the tale as a mode of protection. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/americanhysteria">Become a Patron</a> to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus contentOr subscribe to American Hysteria on <a href="https://apple.co/3R9xBJe">Apple Podcasts</a>Leave us a message on our Urban Legends Hotline at <a href="https://www.chelseywebersmith.com/americanhysteria">americanhysteria.com</a>Check out our main source for this episode: <a href="https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/11818/secret-history-jersey-devil">The Secret History of the Jersey Devil</a>Sound Designer and Associate Producer: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rileymsmith96">Riley Swedelius-Smith</a>Producer and Editor: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mirandatheswampmonster">Miranda Zickler</a>Voice Actor: <a href="http://www.talkbomb.com/">Will Rogers</a>Written, Produced, and Hosted by Chelsey Weber-Smith Learn more about your ad choices.
