The Travel Channel covered haunted trails in the U.S. and this one is the Batona Trail, New Jersey
The 50-mile long Batona Trail runs through the Pine Barrens in rural New Jersey, home to the legendary Jersey Devil. Folklore dates back to the 1700s, when Mrs. Leeds, upon learning she was pregnant with her 13th child, cursed it by wishing it were the devil.
'
AND A SECOND LOCATION ON THIS TRAIL - The curse (supposedly) came true, and shortly after giving birth, the devil child killed Mrs. Leeds and flew into the neighboring swampland, where it’s been terrorizing Pine Barren locals ever since. The creature is often depicted as having a kangaroo-esque body, goat-like head, cloven hooves, dragon wings, horns and a tail. Claims of Jersey Devil sightings persist to this day, from people hearing its screeching cries to campers claiming it attacked their tents at night.
