I believe it was Monsterquest that just did a episode on the Jersey Devil. Overall it was a lame episode (having grew up in the area). They had a group of people form a line to try and flush the creature out with watchers in the trees to spot any activity. They did this in broad daylight--yeah, like any jersey devil story happened in the day?! Some eye witness stories, a mother and son. So scared to death, they still live in the same house years later (passed lie detector tests). I'm sorry but if I see a monster I either 1) get the heck out of there or 2) I'm going monster hunting til I get the thing
Fortunately, I still love the stories and folklore of it all. I even have a small pine forest in TN that I call the pine barrens because it is so similar! There is a Jersey devil "hunt" you can go on in the pine barrens--Not to expensive, given by some local curators over a few mile night walk--should be able to find on the internet if interested. I still want to do it!
