In this episode of Cryptids Decrypted, Ashton Macaulay interviews Dr. Brian Regal, an expert in the origins of the Jersey Devil myth. Dr. Regal has written two books about cryptids and the people who study them, and is a Science History professor at Kean University. Together, Ashton and Dr. Regal dive into the origins of the Jersey Devil myth and what has made it stick in the minds of the public for so long.
