I love how the when the constable was summoned by the son of a farmer in the early hours of the morning, he agreed to go check things out but told the kid to build a snowman for his daughters before departing from his house. That's the most charmingly benign abuse of police authority ever. "If you want my help, it's going to cost you--one snowman."

This really gave me the creeps. My grandfather witnessed a similar event in New England, in the early 1920s. Bipedal footprints in the snow, going on for miles on end. Local Native Americans said they recognized this as the visitation of a Wendigo. There was more to it, but that's all my grandfather was willing to say about the event. Whatever else he knew he took to his grave.

Yeah there is a specific reason not to talk about those specific things if you believe in them. Essentially names are important and just talking about them in general causes you to attract them. If you ever need to get out of a speeding ticket on native land, is always worth a shot to claim something chased you. By the time you even start generically describing it, Cop is liable to shove a hand in your face and tell you to shut up before quickly hopping back in his own car and also speeding away. It is super taboo and taken pretty seriously in some indigenous cultures. It is actually kind of funny because given modern conveniences they arent super threatening, they are like 0 for a million against cars for instance, but they are known for being horrifying so the like slim chance they are real makes people go why bother and follow the traditions.

I've found something similar: One winter day I was at my mother's and I was doing something in the garden and while looking over the stone wall I saw foot prints in the snow on the farm field. That was strange and I'm curious so I decided to investigate, so I walked around to the field and found a trail of hoof prints. I was puzzled by why someone wouldv'e ridden there, expecially in the night or early morning. I followed the hoof prints along my mother's property and strangely it looked as if the creature that had made them was walking on two legs. The "horse" did not walk over things though, it had walked around the stone wall and when reaching the neighbours fence had been stopped, at the fence it had done a sharp u turn, which was too small a turn for something four-legged to make. I have a lot of experience with horses, so I know what prints they usually leave. I guess the most plausible explanation is still a horse, but it's super strange that the tracks appeared to have been made by something on two legs.

The Loosemore girls woke up that morning to find that a snowman had indeed been constructed in the front yard, but their delight would soon turn to terror. Not only was the snowman crudely made, as if constructed with a lack of care uncharacteristic of their diligent father, but the footprints surrounding it were the wrong size and did not resemble those left by the sturdy winter boots of the constable, which did indeed lead away from the house without coming near the snowman. The girls deduced that their father must have neglected to keep his promise, perhaps in a rush to begin his shift due to some unforeseen circumstance. Seeing no other explanation, the horrified sisters concluded that the pitiful snowman must have been created by none other than Lucifer himself!

Same here. This story was always one of the scariest to read during my childhood. But the older I get, the more I believe it was just a profound hoax. It wouldn't be hard to apply horseshoes to the bottom of your boots and just walk through the snow, jump over walls and land on the other side. And i feel like a lot of the reports were probably embellished a bit as mass hysteria began to arise. Now the similar story of the "Devil's footprints," that happened in Quebec Canada, would've been a bit harder to pull off as the hoofprints were found "seared," into the pavement. Not sure how someone would pull that off unless they worked for the road company or something.

Apparently there are colonies of bald eagles living in the Pine Barrens according to Audubon so if we were to look at the number of eagles living in the Pine Barrens recorded by year and compare it to the number of sightings of the Jersey Devil we could find a connection.

It was later proved that this was a prank perpetrated by two siblings, who had used their father's rhino-foot waste basket to create the prints - it was quite common in "olden days" to make waste baskets and ash trays out of animal feet, like rhinos and elephants. Still, it makes a good story.

I remember that morning Snow had fallen in the night Leaving a blanket pristine, and angel white A single line track could be seen in the ground Something strange and alien had walked right through the town And everyone’s door had been visited once. It even walked up a wall. 100 miles, 100 miles They followed the track seven days 100 years have come and gone But the devils hoof marks still remain... Excerpt from "De Profundis" by ZM

Heard about this way back in primary school (nigh unto 40 years ago). A fair amount of new information here, which is impressive given this story is 166 years old. I'd never heard of the 1638 incident - I like the increased use of animation here - and the attempted explanations do indeed strain credulity. Guess we'll have to wait and see if a better explanation beyond a rogue balloon can be postulated.

I first heard of this story from Blurry Photos and learned more details via NightTerrors. I have wondered if the footprints were those of a goat that somehow managed to get up the roof.

@@conveyor2 Maybe. Sadly the fact we don’t have any daguerreotypes (early photos) of the tracks makes it hard to confirm if they were made by a goat. Back then photography was still quite young and I don’t think there were any professional photographers living in the area the footprints were spotted. Had they occurred at a later period, say the late 19th century, we might have had a higher chance of any surviving photos with the decreasing cost of cameras. Also your comment might have made me inwardly chuckle.
