What makes this story amazing is the fact the shed also contained two large German Shepherds, animals very capable of defending themselves against large attackers. Both Shepherds were torn to shreds. This account, however, would be the last encounter with the Devil acknowledged by police and the press. From then on, both would completely ignore any reports of the creature. The memory of the Jersey Devil did not fade away.
Local inhabitants keep the memory alive.
One area of the Barrens is nicknamed Leeds Point and is reputed to be the actual birthplace of the Devil. Dozens of spots across New Jersey are rumored to be its final resting place, it cause of death varying by hundreds of different reasons. This was back in 1974. He tore out of here like a madman and swears it was the Jersey Devil to this day. Granted there are dozens of predatory animals in that area of the country such as coyote, foxes, bobcats and badgers.
