South Carolina Woman Reports Sighting Of ‘Lizard Man,’ Captures Photo Evidence (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Of course this photographic evidence of said Lizardman is suspect. What is even more weirder is how this town’s entire life revolves around a lizardman. – J.P.

Amateur sketch of Lizard Man by its first recorded eyewitness, Christopher Davis.
 
A South Carolina woman came forward to the media on Sunday to report a spotting of the legendary swamp creature known as “Lizard Man” and has provided photographic evidence of the sighting.

The woman, identified only as “Sarah” by WCIV ABC News 4, says she “went to church with a friend Sunday morning, [and] stepped out of the sanctuary to see the Lizard Man running along the tree line.”

“My hand to God, I am not making this up,” she wrote in an email to the news station.

WCIV reported her claim as well as the cellphone photo she submitted:

The cryptid, known as “The Lee County Lizard Man” or “The Bishopville Lizard Man” or “The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp,” was first reported in 1988 by 17-year-old Christopher Davis. Driving home from work around 2:00 a.m., Davis had to stop near Scape Ore Swamp to change a flat tire. As he was finishing up, he reported having heard a thumping noise from behind and turned to see a seven-foot-tall bipedal creature running towards him. Davis said it had glowing red eyes, green skin, and three clawed fingers on each hand. Davis said the creature tried to grab at his car and then jumped on its roof as he tried to escape—clinging on as Davis swerved from side to side.  Davis’ side-view mirror was found to be badly damaged, and scratch marks were found on the car’s roof.  After Davis’ tale was reported, others came forward with their own accounts of the beast. According to former Lee County sheriff Liston Truesdale, at least twelve witnesses have come forward.
 

 
On July 30, 1990, Bertha Blythers and her five children witnessed a strange creature near Scape Ore Swamp lunge toward the passenger side of their car. In a statement given to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Bertha described the creature as being tall, wide, and having “two arms like a human.” “I never seen anything like it before,” she told the police. “It wasn’t a deer or a bear. It was definitely not a person either.”

Not quite as big a celebrity in the world of cryptozoology as Bigfoot or Nessie, the Lizard Man still has a cult following among investigators. A 2013 book, Lizard Man: The True Story of the Bishopville Monster, tells the story of the elusive creature. Cartoon Network has even produced an action figure of the Lizard Man.
 

 
Sales of Lizard Man-related merchandise, along with a lucrative speed trap (one I’ve had personal experience with) are major sources of revenue for impoverished Bishopville/Lee County.
 

 
This latest sighting is sure to boost the local Bishopville economy, and if nothing else, proves that local TV affiliates (as well as Dangerous Minds) will report on anything. Going only by “Sarah”‘s photo, we’re wondering if the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp might possibly be a Sleestak.
 

 
Here’s a short documentary on the Lizard Man:

 
And this song by R Logan tells the tale of the creature:

      The pic looks like some monster out of a “B” class movie. But I believe the people saw something that wasn’t normal. And that car! That would scare me to death if it were my car in my driveway. On the fender well….I know a dog can do that to metal because my daughters dog was after a sqirrell and her dog did it to her car. The varmit had gone up underneath of the car. But the rest of the car no way. The lady said the police took blood samples but what were the results?

      • laswan57

        Yes I spelled squirrel wrong and didn’t catch it. Sorry.

    • Eggzactly

      I am convinced that the lizard man is hiding behind a tree somewhere in S.C., Until his next photo shoot that is…

      Florida is not the place for it to hang around too many gun toteing rednecks, it will go for the wrong one sooner or later wonder if it tastes like gator?

    • PeaBrain

      LOL!! Nothing like making a toy model and using photo-shop. The figurine is being supported by a foot and that overly thickened enormous ‘fake tail’. As if that tail would drag across the ground like that. Major chaffing and scraping would result in injury. :lol:

    • Hi NSA, kiss my artichoke

      Relax everyone, that’s just my uncle Phil. Suffers from MPMS. It was a bad day. :lol:
