Much like the Jersey Devil, Cryptids are animals or other beings whose existence is disputed or unsubstantiated by mainstream science. This field is considered as pseudoscience and focuses on creatures often described in folklore and legend. The Jersey Devil itself can be considered as a cryptid as it’s story often told in folklore and stories of it’s sighting and legend is spread across the Pine Barrens. Wendigos, a legend told in indigenous folklore, warns travelers of the consequences of cannibalism and greed. This tale is often told to travelers when traveling in cold weathers where it may lead them to starvation. Other tales, are often told of when humans are overpowered by greed, turning into wendigos.
