From the east coast of America comes a tale of a mysterious creature that's been around for more than 250 years. The Jersey Devil has been seen by more than two thousand witnesses, has terrorised towns and even forced factories and schools to close down. Animal X travelled to Leed's Point to investigate this fascinating entity, who's precise origins remain shrouded in mystery.

It's been seen at the outbreak of five wars, shipwrecks and the onset of bad weather. Whatever your verdict on this incredible tale, one fact remains - something very strange has scared a lot of people in this neck of the woods. Could there really be a devil in their midst?
