Hunt for the Jersey Devil (Part 1/3)

In this episode, we'll explore the more alternative, less 'mainstream' crpytid nicknamed ' the 'Jersey Devil,' who is said to be the demonic 13th child of Ms. Leeds, a quaker matriarch who lived in Leeds Point, NJ in the mid-1700s. According to local legend, the Jersey Devil has been haunting the Pine Barrens and it's surrounding communities for centuries.

In this episode, we speak with a local eyewitness, town skeptics, and Rutgers University folklorist, Angus K. Gillespie, who gives an anthropological breakdown of how the myth came to be.

A lot more coming soon and we hope you are enjoying this cryptid series.

Andrew should interview Peter Caine Dog Training (on YT). That would be some epic stuff.

you should have gone to the Ojibwe to learn about Sabe (bigfoot). Sabe represents honesty, one of the 7 Grandfather Teachings, a code of ethics that has been with the people for 10,000 years. there 7 animals that represent the teachings; courage (brear), humility (wolf), wisdom (beaver), love (eagle), truth (turtle), bison (respect), and Sabe (honesty). i do not think that an animal that does not exist would be used to represent honesty in these teachings. i never believed in bigfoot until i learned the Seven Grandfather Teachings. they say he only shows himself to the most honest of people, and that he can disappear at will, right before your very eyes...

Nana Violence

Benjemin Franklin had over 15 baby cadavers found under his home. I don’t buy the official explanation. He was part of the same cult and enjoyed raping slaves and sacrificing babies most likely.

yo andrew! would love to see you make a video about 2217 because of the impact it has on washington. i think you guys would do a great job!

dominic gegen

Using the word “discovery” to describe a theory is brilliant. Fox News in the best way

Isn't this how every found footage horror movie starts.

Kirt Burdick

Andrew, I fucking love your humor and content. I love what you guys represent and all of the efforts you and your team do. You’re the internet hero we don’t deserve, but the one we truly need!

The best way to kill someone and their kid is this right here in the olden days. Make people too scared to investigate. They didn't even understand germs at this time dude. Scarey times.

Nervous Babbs

This scratches the Philly itch in my brain

Keep going hard in the paint on Mexico stories! As an American, it's so much more fascinating to hear and, more importantly, empathize the sentiments and trials of our neighbors to the South. Focus on what drives you, never doubt yourself!

Donovan Ault

That professor is awesome lmfao

Melvin Rascon

This is so entertaining. Glad to have subbed to the Patreon. Keep it up Andrew and team it's amazing to see how far Channel 5 has come.

When the leprechaun hit that Whoop-Whoop neighborhood, I totally started believing.

swassesois

B roll footage and renactment stuff, esp during the recounting of the jersey devil story was great y'all, digging this way more over the foot stuff

neonghoste

This is obviously done tongue in cheek and more about the people who believe in it and the history behind the folklore.

bigchiefcrazysmoke

I've never thought about it, but is this where the name of their hockey team came from?

bigchiefcrazysmoke

One thing I definitely believe is that when Mrs. Leeds was pregnant with her 13th child, she wished it to not be a child. I believe this because she had THIRTEEN FUCKING KIDS

Elias Roberts

In terms of the hottest Jersey Devil spots that I have heard of: it would be Tabernacle, NJ which has numerous reported attacks on dogs and children in the past 50 years (check out Weird NJ since they archive everything bizarre in NJ).

Michael Sipos
