Devil fish stories from Atlantic coast and Cape May
A long, mixed account recounts marine monsters called the devil fish or ocean vampire. It cites an 1830s Charles Town incident with a female cephalopod seven to nine feet across, a Cape May episode where twenty were captured, and notes on enormous claimed sizes, beaks, arms with suckers, and dramatic rescues. The piece ties these tales to Berghold and Pontoppidan legends and 19th century sightings.
