Many versions of evolving story on the origins of the Devil in New Jersey, one of the most famous is the story of Mrs. Shrouds.
Year 1744, the weather at night was getting worse, heavy rains accompanied by strong winds, the roar of the water outside was deafening. In a modest house, a mother gave birth to her child. Mrs. Shrouds new look at child birth and for a moment as if in disbelief. The boy is a bit weird, boy did not cry! In fact terkikih sound like a horse. Big eyes, as if to condemn those who have given birth. The boy then walked to the chimney, climb and fly toward the dense forest in New Jersey. This is the origin story that happened in Leeds Point.
Home mother from New Jersey Devil:
Another story was born in Estelville, New Jersey. Mrs. Leeds pregnant with his child is to 13, yelled, "I hope this is the son of Satan!." His request was granted. The boy was born with horns, tail, wings, and head like a horse. The creature haunts every day Mrs. Leeds. He does not hold and dispose of his son. The creature never came back again.
Burlington, New Jersey, also has its own story about the birth of this Jersey Devil Ney. In 1735, Mother Leeds was delivered at a blustery night. He was accompanied by his friends. Many believe, Mother Leeds was a witch. Her son was born normal but then changed form. This baby went from a normal baby to a creature with a horse's head, wings and a tail. The creature was making everyone panic and fly into the chimney. In 1740 a priest tried to capture the creature for almost 100 years but until now not been successful.
One thing that became the story above equation is the name of 'Leeds'. Where a mother who named Leeds and lived in Leeds Point, all the stories using the name Leeds. Alfred Heston, an Atlantic County Historians believe that could be the devil in question is a baby born to Leeds or a Shrouds. He found that Daniel Leeds bought the land in Great Egg Harbor, New Jersey, in 1699. His family lived in Leeds Point. He also has found a Samuel Shrouds, Sr. came to Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey in 1735 and lived there across the river from the house of Mother Leeds. Three facts that link the Burlington story with other stories. Professor Fred MacFadden from Coppin State College, Baltimore, found that the 'devil' that is mentioned in writings from Burlington early in 1735. He also marks that the word Burlington used to name an area in the city of Burlington to the Atlantic Ocean. This means that this name is used as the birthplace such as Leeds point or Estelville, can be the same place that shows where the legend originated Burlington.

Review of interesting details Kongamato
The name 'Kongamato' translates into 'Breaker of Boats'. The appearance of this creature have been reported in Zambia, Angola, and Congo as well as in surrounding areas. The Kongamato said to be a pterosaur-like creature. Natives, who had been asked to describe it, tell the giant bird winged reddish brown skin that has a pointed beak with lots of sharp teeth. When shown pictures of the Pterodactyl natives, they soon identified as Kongamato, but when they were shown pictures of other prehistoric creatures, they regard it as something they are not seen before and that was only the Pterodactyl pictures that interest them.
Frank Melland, describes Kongamato in 1923 his book "In Witchbound Africa. " He paints a picture of Kongamato as creatures who live along a particular river and a very dangerous, often attacking small boats. Melland further explain the creature becomes red and with a wingspan estimated 4 to 7 feet. One of the most striking report on Kongamato is a report by the famous zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson. Sanderson and his team at Percy Salden Expedition to West Africa.
This is the similarity Kongamato of pterosaurs that have sparked speculation that the prehistoric creatures may still exist in the thick forests of Africa. It is a appearance like a prehistoric creature that inspired the stories spin off the Dinosaurs, pterosaurs and other creatures that live in holes in the heart of African jungle.
Ivan Sanderson and his partner Gerald Russell's view of the river water began to ripple with the wild. Their boat rocked violently. From the dark water not far from them, slowly emerged a figure head like a lizard creature with a long neck, as if he had just emerged from the past. The creature looked at Sanderson and Russel with a cold stare for a few seconds, then disappeared back into the water. Sanderson shuddered, Is that the legendary Mokele Mbembe?
More than 200 years ago, precisely in 1776, a French missionary named Abbe Lievain Bonaventure finds a mysterious footprint on the ground. It has a circumference along the trail approximately one meter and has three claws. Each trail is about two meters. If at the size of the circle trail, the animal is certainly bigger than an elephant. But the problem is one, Elephants do not have claws.
That is the first documented report of legendary creatures Mokele Mbembe.
This mysterious creature believed to live in lakes and streams Likouala Tele leading Tele lakes in the area of the Congo, Africa. Just like his brother of Scotland's Nessie, Mokele Mbembe is also believed to be a prehistoric creature that can survive against the changing times.
Its name comes from the unique Lingala language meaning "something that stops the flow of the river. " According to eyewitnesses, this creature has the body characteristics of a small elephant or rhino big, long necks, long tails and small heads. The color is brown mixed with gray and is believed to be herbivores. Several other witnesses reported seeing a mane on the back of his neck. Locals also say that this creature scaring other animals in the river and the locals like to reverse the boat that was passing.
News about these creatures to the western world through British traders who stopped by to Africa. They heard about these creatures from local residents and convey it from mouth to mouth until he came to the ears of the traveler and collector of rare animals from the western world.
Events encounter with this creature is shocking occurred in 1932. Cryptozoology experts from the UK named Ivan Sanderson along with his partner Gerald Russell who on an expedition to the Congo to find a collection of great tracks like a hippopotamus. But the area where he found the trail does not have hippos, because that Sanderson thought that the trail would not own a horse Nile. Locals then told Sanderson that traces it's a creature named "Mgbulu eM'bembe".
Then, when Sanderson and Russell were getting to the river Mainyu, they heard strange sounds terrible roar emerged from a cave near a river.
"It was the most frightening sound I've ever heard. It sounded like an earthquake that getting up and exploded." Said Sanderson. 
Following the voice, to Sanderson and Russell saw the river water began to ripple, then a dark-colored creature with a head like a lizard and a long neck emerging from the water. The creature was just staring at Sanderson and his colleagues for a few seconds, then dive back into the river and disappeared. Sanderson then commented on the experience with the following words:
"We do not know what we have seen, but the creature seemed to burn the retina of my eyes. The creature looks like something that should have died millions of years ago. As a scientist, I should be happy, but the encounter was so awful that I do not want to see him again. "
Another expedition is quite horrendous happened in 1983. At that time Agnagna Marcellin, a Zoologist from zoo Brazzavilles led an expedition to Lake Tele. By the time a colleague was cleaning mud embedded in his body on the edge of Lake Tele, the creature emerges from the water. Agnana heard his screams and immediately ran to the lake. He saw the creature moving to and fro in the water for 20 minutes. He estimated the creature has a length of 5 meters. Front of his brown color, while the rear was shiny black. Agnagna also describe the creature has a head like a crocodile, similar to the description of Sanderson.
In 1985, William Gibbons who conducted an expedition to Lake Tele was informed that in 1959, pygmies who live around the lake had managed to catch a giant unknown creature. They cut up the creature and eat it. According to the story, all the people of the tribe of pygmies who ate it died with a mysterious creature not long afterward. But according to them, there are two such giant creatures that still live in Lake Tele. This makes Gibbons concluded that there is a group of Mokele Mbembe in the lake Tele. This argument is quite reasonable given the appearance of these creatures have been started since 1776.
In 1992, William Gibbons returned to the lake Tele with explorers named Rory Nugent. They roam Bai river, lake and lake Tibeke Fouloukuo that is not listed on the map. Rory Nugent said she saw something shaped head emerged from the lake. But if it heads Mokele Mbembe or not, can not be ascertained.
The question of identity Mokele Mbembe has been disturbing to investigators for more than a hundred years. What kind of creature is this? Some researchers say the theory that local residents may be wrong to identify an elephant. But Roy Mackal, a renowned expert Cryptozoolgy reject the theory of this identification. According to him, sighting reports coming from credible witnesses with diverse backgrounds.
Interestingly, in the 1960s, a young man named James Powell herpetolog who are interested in this story of a trip to Congo. There, he met with a witness who had met with the Mokele Mbembe. Powell then showed him some pictures of the animals. When it came to drawing Diplodocus, one of the types of sauropods, the witnesses were recognized as Mokele Mbembe.
Although until now scientists have not managed to find authentic evidence of the existence of this creature, but an important question that should be addressed to those who doubt the existence of Mokele Mbembe is: Are ethnic Congolese pygmies and local residents have conspired to create a hoax? I do not think so!
But like any other creature Cryptozoology, Mokele Mbembe will continue to be viewed skeptically by most people. As long as we do not capture these creatures live or die, everyone will still think this thing is a myth or a joke just like any other lake creaturesall over the the world .
