New Hampshire – Wood Devils of Coos County
Seven feet tall, covered with greyish fir and thin enough to hide behind trees, the Wood Devils of Coos County walk upright on two feet and stick to the woods or northern New Hampshire near the Canadian border. Think of a tall, thin, pale Big Foot type creature that stands really still and runs really fast. Though there have been many reported sightings, it seems that the Wood Devils mostly want to be left alone and avoid human contact rather than violently maiming any hapless hikers who come across their path. Thanks, Wood Devils!
You missed the boat on New Jersey! THE JERSEY DEVIL is most definitely the official haunting creature of the Garden State. Long before NJ was even a state, the legend of the Jersey Devil began. It was the 13th child of Mrs Leeds, who had no desire for another baby. According to legend, she cursed the baby even before it was born. At its birth, the creature assumed otherworldly dimension and flew up the chimney of the home. Since then, the Devil regularly haunts the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, frightening all it encounters. On the eve of a National tragedy, the Devil is said to appear at many varied places in the state to warn of evils to come (most notably in December 1941, just before Pearl Harbor.)
