Friday Poll: The Mysterious Lizard Man of South Carolina

One reads that in South Carolina, a resident insists that she spotted a lizard man – a large bipedal reptile – walking about:

BISHOPVILLE, S.C. (WCIV) — The fabled Bishopville swamp creature known as Lizard Man appears to have surfaced again Sunday afternoon.

Sarah, a Sumter woman who says she went to church with a friend Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see the Lizard Man running along the tree line.

So she did what anyone else would do — took a picture with her phone.

“My hand to God, I am not making this up,” she wrote in an email to the ABC News 4 newsroom. “So excited!”

She says they were just a mile or so from Scape Ore Swamp, the site of a similar spotting of what may also be the Lizard Man in May.

See, Has Bishopville’s ‘lizard man’ returned? New video surfaces in case.

The video the story’s title mentions was recorded in May:

A man who asked not to be identified submitted a short video of what he thought was the Lizard Man Monday morning. He said he took the video in May while coon hunting but kept its existence quiet — until he saw the reports of Lizard Man outside a church.

“I saw your lizard man story and it’s given me the courage to send you a video I took in early May,” the man wrote. “Though my wife believes me that it’s real, she said she would be embarrassed that everyone would think I was a loon so I kept it a secret.”

It’s of course possible that both these people did see something, and that it was someone in a lizard-man suit. Alternatively, perhaps there are lizard people in South Carolina.
