The Jersey Devil
Updated 2/11/2020 – “Heyy,
My name is Victoria and I am starting a report on the JD (Jersey Devil) also known as the MLD (The Mother Leeds Devil)…People say when you make the Jersey Devil Cake and put it in your yard the Jersey Devil might come.
I also had a chat with some psychics about this, who are familiar with the matter, and they agree.
