When milk mysteriously turns sour in secluded country kitchens, or campers in the Pine Barrens hear unexplained noises - the Jersey Devil did it. That might not be the best explanation, but its as good as any other story, real or imagined, that has helped preserve the states oldest piece of folklore for at least 250 years. Some southern New Jersey residents say they have even seen him. Cate Bishop, an Ocean City homemaker in her 30s, clearly remembers an autumn night in 1973 when she came face-to-face with the Jersey Devil. Bishop and two girlfriends were walking a moonlit trail in Mays Landing on their way to a house party. They were late, so they decided to take a shortcut through the brush, she recalled."We heard something crashing around in the woods and then this little creature between 3-4 feet tall sprang out of the woods into a clearing," Bishop said. "To me it looked like a goat with dark fur, but jumped on its hind legs only. It had small horns like a young goat and little tiny wings on its back," she added. The three girls, then all about 15 years old, bolted in the other direction and headed for paved streets. "As we would run past houses that had dogs, we would hear the dogs barking and then quiet again," Bishop said. "After we were a good distance past the houses, the dogs would start barking again." Bishop swears the Jersey Devil chased them to their friends house that night. "I clearly saw it," she said. "Later, we talked about it and tried to convince ourselves that we hadnt seen it, but I guess I was the only one who believed." Iola Gabriel, of Egg Harbor Township, had a somewhat different, but no less frightening, experience in 1934. Gabriel, 70, who grew up in Galloway Township, was a carefree second-grader playing in the Pomona Elementary School yard when she saw a hideous, devil-like creature. "Its no laughing matter," Gabriel said. "He stood there on the road and looked at us." Gabriels devil de5cription was different. She said the fiend stood at least 6 feet tall to her young eyes. He was red with horns, she said. But before she could take a long look, her entire class rushed inside the building to tell their teachers. "I can picture him now," Gabriel said. "Ive seen him."
