There are many theories of wich the Jersey Devil came. One interesting theory is that the Jersey Devil could infact be a chupacabra, (literally translated into "goat-sucker"), the Jersey Devil's cryptozoological cousin mostly reported in the Southern states. First of all, the chupacabra and the Jersey Devil both prey on small animals, mysteriously disappear after being sighted/encountered, and they are both known to make a high pitch screeching noise. But the problom is, the chupacabra sucks its victims dry of blood, and the Jersey Devil is known to make a bloody mess of its victims. Chupacabras typically don't have wings, while most Jersey Devil sightings include massive wings. Chupas are usually small creatures walking on all fours, while the Jersey Devil is known to stand tall on two legs. Of course, this is just my opinion. keep in touch!

The Jersey Devil, I'd say, is totally unrelated to the much more "modern" Chupacabra; with its much richer history and all. There are some similarities, but those are fewer than their differences. The Chupacabras have many different appearances however, so it's quite hard to compare them both. The Jersey Devil does too have different appearances, but on the whole it seems more consistent than the Chupacabras, which seem to be a name just applied to any case of weird animal sighting / and or cattle mutilations in Mexico and border regions these days.

actually, a lot of people think the chupacabra and the mothman are related

Oh shoot, I thought this was gonna be like one of those Jersey Devil vs. Chupacabra type rumbles like on Celebrity Death Match. I think the Jersey Devil would take a Chupacabra, just for the record.

Well, this topic is a "compare and contrast" sorta thing. Interesting though. I agree that the Jersey Devil would Kick the chupacabra's @$$! (Just 4 the record )

Well I'd have to say I believe the Chupacabra is a real creature; I'm not really thinking it to be something that is supernatural or alien. I mean it's possible that it could be an alien race that has settled on the Earth, but regardless I think it could be a new species or a species that has evolved into what it is today. But Chupacabra is a name used wayyyy too much in sightings, it kinda loses it's flavor after awhile. The Jersey Devil is rather interesting tho... I'd love to see some footage of it or the sound of it's supposed screech. I just haven't found anything.

(Off topic: Nice picture by the way, Shinya from Dir en grey?)

The Chupacabra and Jersey Devil have one major thing in common: they probably don't exist.

On topic, a lot of people think that they're connected. I myself don't see how a thing resembling a gorgonopsid and a thing resembling a kangaroo with hoofs, a horse's head, bat's wings, ram's horns and a Demon's tail could be connected in any way whatsoever.

The truth about the Jersey Devil
In 1730 Ben Franklin published a parody making fun of witch trials in his 'Pennsylvania Gazette' The fictional witch who lived in Burlington County in the Pine Barrens and gave birth to a "demon child"
In 1735 ( the supposed birthdate of the devil) the 'London Gentleman's Gazette' which had colonial circulation published the story as truth. Daniel Leeds, who published his own magazine lambasting the named London magazine last name was used to discredit and spread rumor on his family.
Also, my tribe the UnalaXtigo Lenape (Nanticoke) held a yearly ceremony worshiping the hairy forest spirits ( the Misingk and his helpers the Noktekene) which New Jersey colonists called "The Devil Dance"
I've lived in these woods 38 years. There is no Jersey Devil

mothman became chupacabra when he went on a little road trip to mexico

What are you talking about??

Who is Jersey Devil??

i am.






...seriously though, probably another view of the same creature. this could be a path of migration. maybe he/she/it has more than one dwelling for each time of year. Pine Barrens, ohio river valley, mexico.

The Jersey Devil is a New Jersey Pine Barrens myth in which a mother curses her 13th pregnancy gives birth to a demon. Many of his sightings are attributed to hysteria or the Nokteke'ne (Bigfoot).

I've never heard of either of these creatures but by coincidence I saw an episode of the program, 'Is It Real?' on NatGeo last night.
They featured the 'Chupacubra' and eventually, they came to the conclusion that there just wasn't any evidence to prove it existed......A self-described expert presented plaster casts of alleged pawprints but an expert on animal pawprints declared them as fake.

Also the only physical evidence was a carcass which was taken to a university for examination. Apparently, a farmer had shot and killed an alleged chupacubra attacking his sheep at night. He found the carcass days later on his property and took it in. The scientists there performing the tests concluded that it was just a wild dog !! Interestingly enough, when they held a media conference, the media and public refused to believe that there wasn't a chupacubra after all !!!

There has never been any photographic/video nor physical evidence to support it's existence......Just eyewitness accounts, as always.......
