The Jersey Devil was, like Bigfoot, in the West, a legendary beast that was supposed to have roamed the pine forests in New Jersey! It did, alledgedly, have some satanic attributes, cloven hooves, horns, bat wings, but the name of the New Jersey Devils was not an overt religious reference, but, a nod to a local folk legend.
