Legendary 'Lizard Man' claimed spotted again in South Carolina

South Carolina's rural legend of the Lizard Man continues to prosper. Last Saturday, a man claimed to have seen the creature and photographed it as it came out of the woods. The legendary creature was first spotted in 1988 and stories of sightings have not stopped.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - On Saturday, while Jim Wilson was driving to Camden, he explained that suddenly a creature came out of the woods, running across the Scape Ore Bridge. He got out of the car and immediately took photographs, documenting the existence of the legendary Lizard Man.

"It was a tall, dark figure that had a tail and appeared to have scales. It was almost like an alligator with a short nose and long legs," he said, according to the TheState.com report. He noted that the creature turned to his direction. As he snapped the final picture it moved quickly back into the swamp.

Wilson's friend told him it could have been a pet monitor lizard, but his girlfriend believes it is the Lizard Man.

In the rural legend, the creature is allegedly about 7-feet tall and has red eyes, which has been claimed since the first sighting in 1988. A woman, only identified as "Sarah," said she spotted the creature while attending a church in Bishopville, about 10-miles from the Scape Ore Bridge.

However, authorities explain there is still no evidence confirming the existence.

"Within the last 10 years, we have received several calls about a possible Lizard Man sighting, and we did an investigation. If people call, we don't turn them away. If somebody says they have seen something unusual, we look into it," said Lee County Sheriff Daniel.
