Question 1:

Just about 1735, a baby is said to have been born to a Mrs. Leeds, who lived in the Pine Barrens area of New Jersey. There are many differing explanations as to what caused her 13th child to become the frightful Jersey Devil, which choice below isn't one

	The baby was born deformed, shunned by it's family it grew up in the wilds of New Jersey			Didn't want to have to think about Halloween costume every year

	Mom cried out during the delivery, "I am tired of children! Let the devil take this one!"			The baby was born a devil, and grew immediately after being born, then flew off

Question 2:

Sightings of the Jersey Devil have been made throughout the settlement of the east coast. A cluster of sightings were made in the mid 1800's, but the real action was yet to come. Over the course of January 16-23, 1909, how many people saw the devil?

	About thirty people			About 600 people

	About 200 people			About 2,000 people

Question 3:

Sighting of the Jersey Devil are said to occur most often in October. As it approaches you may hear the high-pitched screaming or shrieking. Next you may see it descend from the sky, or it's red glowing eyes in the trees, then you will smell...?
