The people of New Jersey
in south jersey and philadelphia folklore in the united states, the jersey devil (also known as the leeds devil) is a legendary creature said to inhabit the forests of the pine barrens in south jersey. the creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there are many variations. the common description is that of a bipedal kangaroo-like or wyvern-like creature with a horse- or goat-like head, leathery bat-like wings, horns, small arms with clawed hands, legs with cloven hooves, and a forked or pointed tail. it has been reported to move quickly and is often described as emitting a high-pitched "blood-curdling scream". in man and beast in american comic legend, folklorist richard dorson outlines a six-point criteria for establishing distinction among legendary creatures of american folklore. while the jersey devil was not expressly cited by dorson, it nevertheless qualifies for this same level of relevance.[original research?] dorson specifies that the qualifier must: exist in oral tradition, inspire belief and conviction, become personalized and institutionalized, be fanciful or mythical , and contain a "comical side," which endears it to the american public.
oral tradition of the jersey devil well predates printed newspaper accounts, and belief in its existence by many continues. the latter is made evident not only by commentators who elaborate on this possibility but also by investigative programs such as mother leeds' 13th child, in search of monsters, lore and monsters and mysteries in america.
likewise, as a fixture of organizations, it is the namesake for two professional ice hockey teams. the first, the jersey devils of the eastern hockey league, played from 1964 until the league folded in 1973. the second, the new jersey devils of the national hockey league, have played since 1982. the current team was formerly known as the colorado rockies, and their name was chosen by a poll shortly after the team relocated to new jersey. this same trend towards cultural incorporation is further exemplified by the jersey devil's appropriation in toy lines, such as its inclusion as a vinyl figure in cryptozoic entertainment cryptkins blind box, as well as its application as a motif by six flags great adventure for their jersey devil coaster developed by rocky mountain construction.
moreover, the jersey devil's fanciful or mythical nature is explored in the numerous works of fantasy it makes an appearance in, including: the x-files, jersey devil (video game), the wolf among us, 13th child, tmnt, the real adventures of jonny quest, the barrens, carny, poptropica, a night with the jersey devil, the last broadcast, legend quest, what we do in the shadows, gravity falls and supernatural; many of which, such as tmnt and jersey devil (video game), not only reflect the jersey devil's mythical character but exemplify its comical nature as well.
erik (also known as the phantom of the opera, commonly referred to as the phantom) is the title character from gaston leroux's 1910 novel le fantôme de l'opéra, best known to english speakers as the phantom of the opera. the character has been adapted to alternative media several times, including andrew lloyd webber's 1986 musical. nscreen, erik has often been cast as a tragic hero but also a tragic villain, depending on the film's point of view.
