Lizard Man, South Carolina’s own rural legend, is back.
LEE COUNTY, S.C. — Lizard Man, South Carolina’s own rural legend, seems to have crawled back out of the murky waters of Scape Ore Swamp near Bishopville, where it first was spotted in 1988, after a man reportedly saw the scaly creature Saturday.
Jim Wilson said he was traveling toward Camden on S.C. 34 when “something came out of the woods and ran across the Scape Ore Bridge.” As any good South Carolinian who potentially spots Lizard Man would do, Wilson got out of his car and began taking pictures.
