OK, al while ago I posted this thread, Is This the Jersey Devil?.

To make a long story short, I said that this guy,
was really this guy,
.

I'm not really a NJD researcher or anything, I just stumbled upon the pic of a hammerhead bat and noticed that it looked like alot of the drawings and descriptions of the Jersey Devil.

Well, a few months back, I stumbled onto something that might disprove my theory.
Clickee, Clickee... I'm surprized somebody hadn't already posted this to disprove my theory.
Basically, The drawing of the Devil shown above is actually a drawing of kangaroo that Norman Jefferies hooked wings to.
Woops! Maybe I was wrong.

I also found this, clickee, clickee...
It talks about the 1909 sightings actually being a real estate scam.

Oh well, you can't be right all the time. I guess nobody knows what The Jersey Devil really is. So, if your out by the Pine Barrens in NJ, you might want to keep your eyes open for kangaroos, large bats and The Jersey Devil.

Yep, they sure do.

If you look at the original thread, there are alot of arguements for the JD being a hammerhear bat. My pride was hurt when I found out that, the "eye-witness" accounts were of a costumed kangaroo.

I even sat on this info for half a year. I liked being right. Also, I was hoping another ATSer would bust me.

The thread I started, here, was, essentually, my Opus on ATS. I'd been a contributing member for years but, I had never added anything significant.

When I found out I might be wrong, my pride got hurt. I swallowed it. Hopefully, People on ATS learn from this. Even if you have been proven to be right, you still might be wrong. Never, never, ever, ever, stop searching for the truth; even after you've found it.

Appearantly the jerkass(PT Barnum style jerkass of course), Norman Jefferies, is still burning people after all these years. He even burned the cream of debunkers (that's right, us ATSers are the Cream) 50 years later.

Who knows. Maybe, I'm still right. At this point, anything is possible.

This is kinda my, "fish that got away", story. But, I love a mystery and, I'm glad that now the story of the JD has some mystery in it again... I was so sure I had solved that mystery!.. Oh well, this has served as an allegory for life, my life at least, Never think you have it all figured out. As soon as you know that you know, It "all", you get the grand pleasure of knowing that you are way off.


I bet that when Gazrok reads this, his cheeks will be turning red too.
