A New Jersey resident has claimed that he has captured the infamous paranormal creature, Jersey Devil, in lens.
Rumors are rife the notorious devil like creature has been sighted in New Jersey's Pinelands and has been clicked for the first time. The alleged incident happened on the night of Oct. 6 when a local resident and a security guard by profession, Dave black, was driving past a golf course on Route 9 in Galloway when he spotted a flying creature.
Black first though that it is a llama that is jumping from one tree to another. But he could not believe his eyes when the deer-like creature "spread out leathery wings and flew off over the golf course," as told to NJ.com via an email.
Black admittedly reached for the camera and took some pics before the creature flew away. The mini-video, showing a goat like winged creature that is airborne, somehow matches the description present in the folklore.
This is not the first time that a rumor related to Jersey Devil is making the rounds on the internet. However, Black assured that the pics are not photoshopped and it showed exactly what he saw.
The Jersey Devil pic has gone viral and was trending at the top of Facebook on Oct. 12, Monday, Yahoo News reported. The emergence of the pics coincides with fast approaching Halloween which tends to give rise to such hoax every year.
A legendary creature, the Jersey Devil has a head of a goat, bat-like wings and a forked tail. It is said to inhabit Southern New Jersey since 18th century although no scientific proof or theory has proven its existence.
