For the finale of the 12 days of Cryptmas series I present you the Jersey Devil. My favorite one that I think I've researched thus far. It's got everything. A cute creature, witchcraft, the devil, religion, politics, pettiness, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, and a potential real estate hoax. What more could you possibly ask for?

So I did this two years ago but it isn't nearly as detailed as I would like it to be. So here it is again like 10 times the length. I am so tired but it does a better dent on telling the story of the witch trials that happened in Salem, Massachusetts and really gives better honor to the victims.
Sources: Trust me bro. Just kidding. It's far too many to list but here is a recommended reading...
I'm presenting next week in Canada and I'm freaking out but it's cool. Because you're super awesome and wonderful, here is a sneak peak of my entire presentation that I'll be giving there. You get the first listening, I hope you learn something. If not, well thanks for listening to my blithering idiocy. Also here's a picture of my face as the thumbnail.
