The Jersey Devil

The mysterious world of cryptids comes to Figura Obscura with our latest release – THE JERSEY DEVIL!
Since the start of Figura Obscura, we knew that we wanted to explore the rich and varied world of cryptids for possible inclusion in the line. The obvious choice for our first Figura Obscura cryptid was our hometown monster – The Jersey Devil.
While many have heard of this monster from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, far fewer know of the strange origins of this creature. From the cursed 13th child of a witch who lived during the 1700s, to the product of a dispute amongst pre-Revolution Quakers who had settled in Southern Jersey, to a grisly joke perpetrated by one of the United States’ founding fathers - the history of “The Devil of Leeds” is as strange as the creature itself, making it a perfect addition to Figura Obscura.
