In 1960, several residents of Mace Landing heard terrifying screams at night. The noise did not find an explanation, and people began to panic. 

Police posted flyers assuring residents that the Jersey Devil was a hoax, but the circus owner rejected the appeal, offering a reward to anyone who could catch the creature. No one received the specified remuneration.
