the buzz log
Bruce Springsteen has made his contribution to the Halloween Buzz by posting a free musical treat on his web site. His new “A Night with the Jersey Devil” video features The Boss re-enacting to a grinding blues beat the origins of the creature occasionally spotted in The Pine Barrens, 1 million acres of forest in southern New Jersey. (Remember that “Sopranos” episode where Paulie and Christopher get lost in the woods? That’s The Pine Barrens.)
Not every cryptozoological beastie has both a song and a hockey team named after it. But that doesn’t mean that on a day like today we shouldn’t pay them homage. Since many creatures that may or may not exist have at least been spotted at the search box, here are the recent top 10:
- Yeti/Abominable Snowman
- Bigfoot/Sasquatch
- Chupacabra
- Loch Ness Monster
- Mothman
- Jersey Devil
- Jackalope
- Skunk Ape
- Wendigo
- Lake Worth Monster
