Retold by: Masood

once long long ago, on a dark rainy night, everyone is busy getting ready for Halloween. The mother leeds is giving birth to her 13th child.

During the birth of the child, a creature named "The Jersey Devil" appeared in the village, after the villagers saw the creature they were so terrified that they stopped celebrating Halloween and ran into their houses locked the doors and got cover.

The morning after the event happened the creature was gone to the forest. All the villagers were angry, because they missed celebrating Halloween. After that if the crops failed, if chickens stopped laying eggs, and if sheep got scared, and many other bad things that were happening in the village, the creature was the one to get blamed.

Then one day a traveling preacher came into the village and he preached a fiery sermon from the morning until the night, everyone was so tired of hearing the preacher's voice the whole day. After the sermon finished the preacher passed his black preached hat, and everyone was dropping coins.

While the preacher was having a speech with the people, the creature was watching him, after the sermon was finished and he collect a lot of money, the preacher was on his way to other towns, but suddenly the creature got on his way and chased him, but the preacher ran away.

The night of the day when the creature attacked the preacher, there were two slickers, they heard of the evil creature and they thought if they capture the creature and then sell it they'll be rich for the rest of their lives. So they sent hunters to the village where the evil creature was, but instead of capturing the evil creature they were stealing staff from the villagers. The villagers were tired and they couldn't take it anymore so they decided to force the hunters out of the village by fighting with them. When they were fighting the evil creature appeared and helped villagers to force the hunters out of the village.

The evil creature went travelling town to town, and rumours spread about people seeing the evil creature. everyone was so terrified that they locked their doors, closed the shops, and even schools. Even the police dogs were terrified to search for the creature.

Lastly the evil creature went to the mountain and disappeared no one saw the creature in person, but some people were telling stories about seeing the evil creature's footsteps through the mountain.
