Legend of the Week

By:Marco M.

Flying in to this weeks legend is the Jersey Devil. Its this weeks legend because legend has it that there was a women named Mother Leeds back in 1735. She had 12 children and was one New Jersey new resident's. She was married too a man who was an alcoholic and did very too help the mother take care of there 12 children. Later on she discovered that she was pregnant for the 13th time. Then she screamed out,"Let this one be the Devil!" The 13th child was born on a stormy night. At first the child seemed too be normal but then the baby transformed too a horrible creature ,and had hooved feet, clawed hands, glowing red eyes, bat like wings and finally a forked tail. This hideous abomination then slathered its own mother and father and most of its siblings as well. Later after this happened it flew out through the chimney and escaped to the Pine Barrens. No wonder the number 13 is a evil number. Other people say it has a head of a dog with a face of a horse, deer like antlers, a kangaroo's body, large leathery wings, a forked reptilian tale, cloven hooves and long, razor like claws. There had been many sightings of this horrible creature. Thats all for this weeks legend until next students.
