I live in/near the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, so I heard plenty about the Jersey Devil.

There's way too many to list in South East Asia I'm not even sure where to start, and a lot of stories get passed down through trade but Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand each have their share of scary creatures. And to think some of them came about through stories parents tell their kids so they don't stray and get caught up with wild animals...
