Woman claims to have photographed fabled Lizard Man

A fabled swamp creature known as the Lizard Man, of Bishopville in Lee County, South Carolina, appears to have surfaced again on Sunday afternoon. Sarah, a Sumter woman who says she went to church with a friend on Sunday morning, stepped out of the sanctuary to see the Lizard Man running along the tree line.

So she took a picture with her phone. "My hand to God, I am not making this up," she said. "I'm so excited!" She says they were just a mile or so from Scape Ore Swamp, the area where most of the Lizard Man sightings over the last 30 years have been focused. The first sighting was in the summer of 1988.
Known as the Davis sighting for the witness Christopher Davis, the then-17-year-old Davis stopped on a road bordering the Scape Ore Swamp to change a flat tire at 2am. He heard noises, turned to see a 7-foot beast charging at him, so he ran for the safety of his car. The Lizard Man jumped on the roof as Davis tried to drive away. There were scratch marks on the roof and one of the side mirror had been damaged.
Since then the Lizard Man sightings have trailed off. One of the last alleged encounter with the Lizard Man came in 2011 when a Bishopville couple reported their car had been mauled overnight. There were teeth marks in in the metal and saliva coating several discarded parts. There have been plaster casts of the mythical beast's claw. There have been million-dollar rewards to capture the Lizard Man alive. But the creature has not been seen in more than a decade - until now.
