When I was younger I lived 2 blocks down from a cousin of mine, and we were very close, like spent every day and night outside playing and at night when it was time to go home, I always ran my ass off cause there are no street lights between my house and his, probably about 10 houses and a small yard or 2, straight shot, all sidewalk. There are a lot of small little passage ways between the houses, too...

Well one night his dad was telling us stories about legends and stuff and it got to be 11, which was my usual time to go home in the summer and he said wait, I have to warn you about one thing before you go.. and he went inside. (I was 10 years old btw)

Came out with a book... he sits me down with his kid and says,

I agreed with the other adults that we shouldnt tell you guys about this because once you know about him, he comes after you and you're never safe... but tonight is the one night every year that he takes a random child for his own. I think its better that you know because then you stand a better chance at getting away if he picks you to take. The Jersey Devil was born when a woman that practiced witchcraft was possessed by a demon and gave birth to a child that was part demon. It killed her and everyone around and ran out into the woods, where it lived killing deer and other animals for food... He doesnt like people to know about him because he likes to live in the shadows where he can strike out at will, so he tries very hard to kill those that know about him. The worst part is that once a year he picks a random child to eat to remind people that SOMETHING is out there, SOMETHING is watching you, following you, and SOMETHING is gunna get ya.

Then he showed us a picture just like this...


After that I refused to go home for the night and after a half hour of him telling me why the monster wouldnt pick me, I decided I was going to run as fast as humanly possible and not stop until I was inside my house.. so I ran home past all the dark openings and stuff and went right up to bed, lol.

My cousin and I didnt play outside at night for like a month...

I still think about that when Im walking outside at night and get a little creeped out, lol... I think it might've left a permanent mark on my brain.

when i was a small kid me any brother would stay up late and watch the late late late night movie, horror stuff. the intro to and from commercial breaks was a hand then the arm pushing up from the ground, like it was a buried body and he was trying to get out. that was enough to keep us up till dawn lol

i just looked fast for the vid, cant find a thing.
