Nobody ever established who—or what—he was.

The Jersey Devil: The Monster That Haunted the Pine Barrens

For centuries, stories have described a winged creature stalking the forests of southern New Jersey: a horse-headed, bat-winged thing supposedly born as the cursed thirteenth child of Mother Leeds. But the history behind the Jersey Devil may be stranger than the legend.

The Wendigo: The Insatiable Hunger in the Northern Woods

Long before the Wendigo became an antlered monster of modern horror, stories across several Algonquian-speaking cultures described something more disturbing: a cannibalistic being of winter, starvation, greed, and endless hunger. Humans could become Wendigos, communities feared them, and historical cases ended in real deaths. The legend has survived for centuries—but the creature most people picture today is not the one found in the oldest traditions.
