APRIL FOOL!

Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil is one of the most famous cryptids in the United States.  Yesterday was, as you probably know, April Fools' Day.  The Oceanside Township Police Department decided to play an appropriate prank.  It said witnesses in the Brookfield district had made a number of sightings of the creature and that tracks were subsequently found.  The piece they published finished up with an old timer positively identifying the creature as the Jersey Devil.  This was a nice literary touch.
