    John Denver didn't write "Take me Home Country Road". Bill and Taffy from Starland Vocal Band wrote it and gave the song to John Denver to sing as they were friends.

    I'm a life long native of NJ born in 1959. I've explored and have been all over the state, especially in the pinebarrons and have never seen the Jersey Jersey Devil. But growing up I've had a lot of old timers said they have seen it, including my dad who was born in 1919. But I'm proud that we have a legendary monster. I have books about it. I for one believe in the well documented story but I think it died a long time ago and no longer exists.

    One of the scariest stories I ever heard about the Barrens was about 2 teenage boys. I don't think they said why but they were homeless one Summer and decided to go camp there. Strange noises, footsteps, and tree snaps scared them badly enuf that they wanted to leave. On the way out Bigfoot ran out of the woods screaming and chased them. For some reason there was a large hole in the ground and the boys jumped in hoping to hide. Bigfoot ran around them and at them close enuf to kick dirt into the hole. It kept this up while screaming until the sun was high enuf that they felt safe to leave. This story may have been on Sasquatch Chronicles. If I find it I'll edit this comment. ✌️🌎

    Oh, I’m sure it does still exist. I believe the so-called Jersey Devil is actually a real, man-sized creature that looks like a moth man. Too many people have seen this creature for it to not be real. Something is there! I, personally, think it could be a fallen angel shape shifting into the monster. We don’t know all they’re capable of doing, but we do know they can shape shift into whatever form they choose. So far, the creature isn’t hurting the people who’re seeing or hearing it, but those who’ve seen it KNOW what it’s capable of doing to them!

    I didn't believe in BF. until myself and family members found the prints. We heard sounds and our animals on the ranch were nervous for about a week. This took place in northern Az . We lived 22 miles away from the little town, it was so little it didn't even have a stop light. One day we were walking on the property went down to the valley and then to another mesa on the property. Well I was coming down first from the mesa and saw the prints. Now I was taught to track. I showed the other family members and we were astounded. We looked for front prints since we thought it was a bear but found none. My brother in law put his foot to compare . It was definitely bigger . We followed them and it took a stride over a dry wash. The prints led up to the back of the property. Before we found the prints I was going from one building to anotherlate at night and felt like I was prey but it was too dark to see anything. I walked fast back to the building. The prints went right to the area I had been. So I believe it exists. This happened over forty years ago now. I found out that even my ancestors had a name for it Tsul Kalu.

    My uncle owns land about 40 minutes from Point Pleasant. Maybe 20 if you took the highway but there has been a lot of odd stuff around his property. Probably one of the weirdest things was a little man being seen. It was seen south of Point Pleasant as well. The old-timers that seen it thought it was an alien because of how fast it moved. West Virginia is a weird state! My mom's side is from there and I'm very proud of it!

    Almost Heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Misty taste of moonshine, Lovely song. Always been intriqued by Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains from watching the Waltons as a kid. Remember when Papa Walton got attacked by a bear, saved by Reckless the Walton dog. Don't remember no mention of Bigfoot. That was later in the Six Million Dollar Man. Love to live that waltons life. Milling track ties for the Railroad, supplies from Ike's store, and a nice dose of the recipe from those lovely old moonshine sisters. Oh what we lack in the modern world.
