Napoleon Bonaparte’s brother Joseph once claimed to have had a run in with the infamous Jersey Devil. Following Napoleon’s defeat, Joseph went to America where he purchased 800 acres in Bordentown, New Jersey. As he was hunting in the forest near his home, he noticed tracks, seemingly donkey tracks, but if the donkey were walking on its hind legs. Upon recounting his tale to friends, Joseph mentioned that one hoof was larger than the other.
He followed the tracks curiously until they ended. That’s when the beast let out a hissing sound and he turned to face it. Joseph described the creature as having a horse-like head, a long neck, wings like a bird’s, legs like a crane, and small stumpy arms that ended in paws. Upon freezing, where he and the beast just met eye-to-eye, the creature let out another hiss and took off into the air.
