The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
85
The First Sighting of The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
George Holliman Jr was thirsty that early fall morning in 1987. It takes a very parched throat to stop and get off your bicycle at just after midnight to take a quenching sip of water from a flowing stream- however clean it may be.. Of course anyone whose ever had an exertion that's caused dehydration long enough might understand, you get relief where you can find it.
After George enjoyed his liquid repast, a cigarette was in order. He'd no sooner started puffing away when something caught his eye from across the road. It appeared to Holliman that a dead tree hit by lightning was standing in an odd place across the way; when suddenly, the tree stood up just like a man would! His mind had no more processed this thing up-righting itself than a car went by causing the 7 or 8 foot entity's eyes to glow red. The creature immediately moved back into the swamp after the car had passed.
According to the sheriff whom George told this to the following August, "He thought it was a hant" or haint. Southern vernacular words sometimes used for haunt, like in, "It's so ugly it could haint a house." This was to be the first sighting of what came to be called "The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp." For many years previous, however, there had been reports of a "Wild Man" or Bigfoot like entity in the area of what was known back in those days as "Scape Whore Swamp," near the small town of Bishopville, S.C.
Ancient Lizard Man Petroglyph
Christopher Davis has an Encounter
Seventeen year old Christopher Davis was driving home from work in the early morning hours of June 29th, 1988 when without that plop plop warning one will often get, a rear tire blew out on his 1976 Toyota Celica. Chris immediately pulled over on a road next to the Scape Ore Swamp. After replacing the flat with the spare, he began putting the jack and other tire changing tools back into the trunk when he heard an unusual pounding sound come from behind him.
Perhaps its best left to Christopher- who passed a lie detector test the following Sept.- to describe what happened next: "I looked back and saw something running across the field towards me. It was about 25 yards away and I saw red eyes glowing. I ran into the car and as I locked it, the thing grabbed the door handle. I could see him from the neck down- the three big fingers, long black nails and green rough skin. It was strong and angry. I looked in my mirror and saw a blur of green running. I could see his toes and then he jumped on the roof of my car. I thought I heard a grunt and then I could see his fingers through the front windshield, where they curled around on the roof. I sped up and swerved to shake the creature off."
Trembling and frightened, Davis made it home where his parents calmed him down enough so he could tell them what had happened. Chris's father went outside to have a look-see at the Toyota. What he found nearly stunned him. The driver's side mirror had been twisted around violently several times, and deep claw-like scratches were on the roof. Christopher and his family kept this to themselves for a couple of weeks until the sheriff of Lee County requested any information about a bizarre act of apparent vandalism on a Tom and Mary Ware's vehicle.
Scape Ore Swamp
The Wares Find a Problem
The night of July 14th, 1988 was like any other for the Wares. What they were to find the next morning was anything but. Their car, which had been parked on one of Lee County's numerous back roads, had been attacked- for that is the only word to use- with the hood ornament crushed like an aluminum beer can. The entire electrical works had been ripped out from under the car along with deep claw-like scratches found all over the body of the vehicle.
The police were amazed and a bit bewildered with what they discovered at the scene. The car damage was almost nothing in comparison with what must of been the power and size of what ever assaulted the car, not to mention the deeply impressed tracks; and to be absolutely frank about it, those monstrously eerie looking foot prints the creature had left behind. The sheriff's department made plaster casts of the three-toed tracks- some of which measured 14 inches in length.
The South Carolina Department of Marine sources were adamant in that not only could there be no mistake in the identification, they weren't from any known animal, and that included any possibility of them being a damaged or mutated foot as well. A bit bizarrely, for some unknown reason, later on the S. C. Fish & Wildlife were to contradict the S.C.D.M. by saying they looked phony.
Original Lizard Man Tracks
Sightings and Some Evidence
Twelve more people claimed to have seen the Lizard Man during the summer of 1988, with many reporting having a sense of being followed before spotting the creature, while others were actually chased for short distances. Further car attacks were also reported. A major break came on July the 24th when four teenagers out on a double date spotted a massive looking "Thing" dart across the road not 20 feet in front of them. The young men apparently took the girlfriends home and then went straight to the police office reporting on what they'd all seen. Following right behind this were calls about ungodly howls or screeches from the same area, so a Lee County deputy and state trooper took off to investigate. The two officers discovered three 40 gallon cardboard drums smashed and scattered all over the road. Also uncovered were small trees with their tops torn off about eight feet from the ground. In addition three-toed foot-prints measuring 14 inches long by 7 inches wide were followed almost 900 feet into the Scrape Ore Swamp its self. As the summer ended, so did the reports.
Lizard Man Redux?
In 2008, Bob and Dixie Rawson of Bishopville greeted the morning by finding their minivan had been attacked during the night. Heavy damage around the base of the van, including long gashes to the grill and tire wells. In addition to their cats missing, the fresh carcasses of a cow and coyote were found by the Lee County Sheriff in an adjoining field.
The History channels Monster Quest later estimated at least three hundred pounds of torque would have been required to do the damage on the Rawson car fender. The minivan wasn't the only vehicle reported attacked either. Perhaps we haven't heard the last from Lizard Man.

Hi! Tarheel Last week we had our 1st problem with Marsha, we had a friend and her dog come for a visit and Marsha would block the other dog - if it came near me or her toys......it was scary - I do not have to be frighten of the Lizard Man:-) When the dog left, she was fine and no problems since........In March she is going to Dog School..I know she will be a A+ student :-) Canook Marsha said hello back.
Hey good deal Canook! The Lizard man is perfect for a campfire scary tale. It went over well last year you said. Just think, the snow is melting and it won't be long before your in the woods and camping! Say hello to Marsha!~Tarheel
Hi! Tarheel I just put this story in the tailer for the summer campfire.....snow is melting :-) Canook
Hey Frank, thanks and I bet you got some kinda cryptid in your peeps up there lol. Lets hope Sally the Hat never imagines herself the Lizard Man!
Alastar this was a fascinating Hub.. we don't have anything like this up in my neck of the woods.. well we do have the stroe front preacher.. Chendo the wino.. Sally the Hat.. they call her that because she think she's an object.. hmm maybe if you were to move up here you'd find a story to tell about my peeps..LOL again thanks for the wonderful share...
Some very frightening evidence for this one like you said Seeker. The kind of damage to the vehicle shown in the CCN video is startling. That's no bear or coyote attack. Faithful Daughter may have solved that one by saying the cats got up under the car to try and get away. You make a good comparison there between the Reptoid ETs and Lizard Man. Got a feeling they're not connected but who knows. The evidence in this cryptid enigma is pretty good I'd say. Definitely wouldn't want to be hanging around that swamp after dark. Thank you much for the vote and great comment Seeker7.
Hi Alastar,
Wow! This is very scary stuff indeed! But fascinating that so much physical evidence has been left behind - often the evidence, as you know, can be very vague! I might be wrong, but the 'lizard man' sounds a bit like some of the ET's folks have alleged to have seen. But the accounts from the swamp, although showing the creature obviously has some kind of intelligence, seems to be quite adept within his habitat or perhaps that's just coincidence!
I would rather meet a ghost or spirit any time rather than one of these odd creatures that do populate our planet - despite what the know-all/know-nothing scientists might tell us.
I really enjoyed this very scary hub. Voted up + awesome!
Hi Kitty. You've got the skunk ape down in Fla. At least there were no reports so far as i know about Lizard Man stinking..lol! Yep, all three states are full of weirdness no doubt. Well, all the states really, but since records have been kept in the original 13 longer maybe they have more. Been having a little prob finding a regional story as spooky as this one for Halloween though. Oh well, something will pop up. Appreciate all Kitty.~:)
AP - I have never heard this story, but my my my what interesting things happen in the Carolinas! Geez...I thought Maryland and Florida were weird places. Lizard man sounds an awful lot like the big foot and werewolf experiences throughout other states in the US. Voted up and interesting, of course. Super entertaining.
Wasn't that something. Yep, Monster Quest said 300 lbs of torque on that sucker. There were other vehicles with similar damage from 2008. A lot of people saw the creature in 1988. Yes, the world is very big, and then again very small at times. Appreciate the good review and vote the lyricwriter.
Wow, that is crazy. I have never seen anything like that video. That van, wow. I believe I saw a monster quest on the lizard man or some other tv show. They say he has been seen by a lot of people. The world is so big, who is to know. Very good review. You got my vote.
Hey G that will be a trip. A return visit from your first love, wow. Charlottes the "big" city around these parts. Greenvilles the other way from the Peachoid. Oh, you like my sense of humor huh? Naturally, flattery always endears; so you come back and yell or blow off steam anytime.~:) Btw, that historical woman is looking very good!
Alastar! I had to look at the post on fb to find the place......My first love from highschool and another childhood friend are both in Charlotte....about 30 South away from the "peachoid?!!! ha ha ...Trying to figure out the Southern "speak!" in the comments...ha ha
Haven't seen either one of them since I was in my early 20's....first love coming to visit me in January....Wow! Will be a trip! Anyway, cool about Greenville....
I LOVE your sense of humor!!!! Bring it on.....ha ha "kind sir".....this lady needs to NOT YELL!!!!! Well even fine ladies need to blow off steam sometimes!!!!! ha ha night ;
Marvelous they recognized the Peachoid G! Does the HS friend live in or near Greenville? It's becoming one of the most desirable areas to move to and live in. Very cultural and forward moving. The huge BMW plant is near by which helps with the economy plus many other up-scale companies. Great school system, low cost of living, vibrant downtown etc etc. I love to make you laugh! See, someone appreciates my sense of humor..ROFL. Thanks G, hope you have an enjoyable one too.~:))
Well the "peachoid" got posted on my facebook page under my "other name!" !!!! A few of my highschool friends from Los Angeles now live near it! One an hour away and another closer! They recognized it!!! AND commented too!!! ha ha ...funny.....
You made me laugh!!! VERY funny....I liked this story.....love the images of "total scary stuff!" ha ha ......like I said, reminds me of lizards, I mean "people" I know!!! ha ha
Enjoy your evening! G
You were feeling good G! Good for you. Thats the best way to be. When some of these type stories are written on a bit than just in passing- you know,- like in a compilation, they can be a cool and fun read. Ha Ha! Heard about some of those South Cali creatures. Keep locked and loaded cause the Lizard Man doesn't listen to entreaties in French but does like to destroy cars with tremendous force. Merci beaucoup G...PS- hows the Peachoid doing?
ALASTAR....Well I will not be camping anytime soon! AND that big beautiful lake near where I live will have to be just a big beautiful lake! ha ha....ALL KIDDING ASIDE......Very cool story.....a fun read and it makes your back get a chill....I sort of live in a very private place where lots of creatures can appear and cause havoc.....WAIT! That must be my neighbors!!!! ha ha ....OK.....I'm in a silly mood, you know how I feel and I enjoyed this!! I will be sleeping with my gun tonight.....Does the "lizard man" speak French and does he really listen? OK.....I can't stop!!!! ha ha G
Hey that's right Martie. The North Hemi's kinda opposite the Souths'- Summers ending here so I guess Springs' starting there. Maybe that's correct..lol. Nothing like a good scardy- as one commenter calls it- tale at midnight! Nellieanne, what a cool name that is. Poems about love are the perfect antidote to the nasty Lizard Man. Thank you kindly Martie, and you can tip-toe all over my buttons anytime.~:)
Oh my, this is too scary, especially now at midnight (down here). Oeeeee, I can feel him right behind me.... Alastar, this is an excellent hub about the Lizard Man, but I've chosen the wrong time to read it. I'm running to my mother now, Nellieanne, to find peace of mind in her poems about love. I'm tip-toeing over all your buttonnnnsssss....
Good Morning Femme! You know S.C. is one of the oldest states in the union. Lots of ghostly and high strangeness activities in its history. The Lizard Man's so far as I know a unique one though. Ha! Your right! Kevlar and ammo for sure walking near the Scape Ore Swamp at night..~:)
Alastar - I'm beginning to think S.C. is the creepiest state in the nation to live in, lol. (Teasing - sort of.)
But, good grief!! Kevlar and ammo must sell really well there!
Your afraid of driving through lonely swamps at night Quality girl? Why, whatever for..LOL. Seriously though, I don't blame you, neither do I. Scary stuff for sure. Like these too scardy cat- love that phrase. Thank you and they will, if the car doesn't break down in a scardy swamp first!
See, this is one good reason why I am afraid of swamps and especially driving through them at night! This is scary stuff! I like these type of stories, even though I am a scardy cat! Keep them coming!
A human being was one thing it definitely wasn't. The damage on the cars wasn't done with any kind of tools either. The witness the media largely wrote on passed a lie detector test. Other cars were attacked with similar force and claw marks. At least a dozen folks saw the creature and the authorities took it very seriously just like in the Beast of Bladenboro and other less reported ones since then. Reptilian so maybe it could be what you say Silver Poet; but remember it was bi-pedal and 7 or 8 feet tall. I too, believe it was real. Died in Loch Ness Lake? Well, anythings possible it seems now-a-days. Thank you Silver Poet, lets hope our cars never break down at night near any ole spooky like swamp!
Fascinating story. You had me going for a while. I didn't believe it was a man, but I thought it might be a very elaborate hoax or else a surviving remnant from the dinosaurs. I still think there was something real (it may have died by now) in Loch Ness Lake.
Yes it does. Hubber Angie Ashbourne from Canada read another one to a group of special folk who are challenged but are very brave with their illness's. It went over well and shes going to read this one for Halloween. That makes writing these all the more rewarding personally. Hey, your right. If Vampires, Werewolfs etc can supposedly be real, then why not The Creature From the Black Lagoon too? In my humble opinion they've got a real live one in those S.C. swamps! Thank you Karen, i loved those old horror movies as a kid and still do today.~:).
This certainly makes a nice read for Halloween . :)
I've never heard of the Lizard Man, he does remind me a little of those Creature from the Black Lagoon movies that were I believe made back in the 1950's.
Good question Peggy. Probably an act of God so they don't have to pay. Yeah, it doesn't take a sharp knife to see in the vid that that was no damage from a coyote or even bear. The Rawson's weren't the only ones in 2008 that had that kind of car attack. When you put these with 1988s,- the kind of onslaught and the strength it would have took along with everything else, well, the belly rolls stop and the weapons are loaded. Thank you Peggy!
Lizard man or bogeyman...whatever damaged that car did a good job of it! Wonder how the car insurance folks keyed that into their system? Haha!
Appreciate your encouragement so much Eiddwen. Well, in this legend it does appear events were out of the ordinary to say the least. Fall must be really gorgeous in Wales. We'll see some pics soon, what a treat they'll be. And I look forward to reading your latest today; and all the time.~:))
Your hubs are so well written and amazing Alaster.
You always have me gripped from beginning to end. I also believe that there is some truth in every legend.
I look forward to reading and learning so much more from you.
I vote up and up here.
Take care
Eiddwen.
Do scary stories have anything in common with that other thing people smoke a cigarette after..lol! Oops! Naughty me. Thanks so much Nurse Mar, over-joyed your back more; and it is getting near that spooky day isn't it!~:)
Wow, AP, I feel like I need a cigarette after reading this, and you know I don't smoke!
I can see I have a bit of catching up to do, dear friend and this was seasonally "right on time!"
Voted UP & ABI, mar.
Yes, your having trouble with those creatures you call yobs. And they've actually been captured on video. Amazing! Don't know about your English experts ideas on how to stop they're aberrant behavior; but over here a similar species is often tamed by a year or two in the Texas State Penitentiary. They have a remarkable success record. Triple tack Lady Nell. And please keep yourself safe from those creepy yobs!
We get cars attacked around here, but I get the feeling that it probably is just those little yobs that we see on tv, smashing up the stores! lol
Very scary halola1999. Welcome to HP. Look forward to seeing your first Hub. Just write whatever you want and jump on in!
scary!
Hi Tina! Yes it is scary. Your right, a person should approach these events with a straight head; but some of them are unarguably out of the normal. Exactly what, why and where-from are the questions. Like the man who knew the inside story on the Beast one answered my first query- was it real, absolutely he assured me. Although things can snowball and get exaggerated theres still the core phenomena. "Black Lady" eh. Of course children believe almost anything they're told, but when enough adults are worried, well, who knows. Oh also, maybe we grown-ups should listen to the little ones more sometimes and not always think they make things up. Appreciate you, thanks. It took a day or two to decide how I wanted to start the hub. Thats usually the hardest part. Skoal Tina! The Eel must swim!
Very scary story Alastar! I normally don´t believe in any story like this but I find it interesting how the stories start off and sort of get a life of their own as time goes. And the damage to the car is convincing:))
I have a clear memory from when I was a child when everyone in the small community where I lived talked about the "Black Lady". Nobody knew if she was for real or if she was a ghost or maybe a witch, but several people testified that they had seen she had also chased after some. I believed it then and was very scared.
Either way, I like the way you wrote this, both interesting and fascinating!
Tina
Get outta those ancient articles of clothing and put on your Star Trooper gear. Creepy and some powerful angry and strong. Whatever these things are they don't like cars...or people. Hand me that laser blaster Thought. Thanks soldier comrade!
So I arrived (dressed in my colonial militia re-enacting outfit)...ready to fight Cornwallis or pirates or what not...and BOOM...ya got me fighting lizards...?? Great Job...kind of creepy... Voted Up and creepy...um...Up and everything...
Mr. WillStarr! Did you really think I'd stoop to getting info from a tabloid source...LOL! Thank you Will. This one, like the Beast of Bladenboro in N.C., was taken very seriously by the authorities at the time, and I suppose even today when similar things happen. The Lizard Man was even reported on the CBS evening news by Dan Rather. Cleverly written? Appreciate but not compared to your brilliant twist-enders my friend.
Very cleverly written! I thought it was taken from a tabloid source.
PS- Spirit Whisperer. Could the awesome 1956 film "Forbidden Planet" be used as an analogy for what your talking about? If you haven't seen it: a Dr. Moribus? unconsciously creates a monster through his id to destroy a ship of military Earth men who have landed on the planet he and his daughter have been on all by themselves studying an advanced alien civilization. The inhabitants have vanished but left the technology and structures. He's sub-consciously afraid his daughter will fall in love with one of the men and leave him. The movie was way ahead of it's time and is considered one of the best from the 1950s slew of sci-fi films.
Well my friend, one could look at it that way. The case has never been solved, as a real Lizard Man, hoax, unconscious mental projection etc etc. So the mystery remains. Your take is respected; and brings up a- so far as I know- here-to-fore unimagined possibility. The sub-conscious is still a largely unmapped world. Thank you very kindly Spirit for your interest and great thought provoking comment.
The easiest thing to do is simply dismiss this kind of occurrence as just vandals or people looking for attention or any number of reasons to take our minds away from the idea that they could be the real deal. You know my take on all of this. The power behind our lives is outside of our conscious awareness in the dark canyons of the subconscious. If our unconscious can project monsters on to people then why not create them as well?
Thank you for another interesting read.
Sure is fascinating Will thank you. You could say truth is spookier than fiction. Since you asked I'll come clean; the whole story is made up to see how many writers would be fooled by it. Really about a rampaging mutated bear.I still wouldn't want to be anywhere near that bi-pedal reptilian monster when it decides to leave it's swampy home and go out and about though..LOL!
What a fascinating Hub! This is spookier than fiction. (It is a true story, right?)
Alright you wild thing. Dunno Nell, maybe a Trogg..Haha! Me sorry too but sure needed a laugh. This thing had the strength to leave claw marks with 300Ibs of torque power on cars. That's a heap o scary. Not long ago, fairly near here a respectable family woke up to find one of their cars destroyed in like manner of the Lizard man ones, and there aren't any swamps around here. The police found strange tracks all around the vehicle that didn't led off to any where. Like the thing just popped into the driveway, saw the car, attacked it and popped back out. Doesn't science say there are different dimensions so maybe the answers there. Its an enigma wrapped up in a mystery or whatever Churchill kinda said. Yeah, better not go in the Whooly Swamp. Triple Tack Nell. Lets have a pint!
Hi, Swamp thing, you make my heart sing la la la la! lol sorry it just made me sing it! seriously though, wonder what the hell it is? I expect a lot of the sightings are people dressing up, but not doing the cars like that! interesting stuff, remind me not to go to the swamp! cheers nell
Hi Canook! Glad you liked it. It will be a good one for Halloween. Hope your doing well in the great province of Ontario this evening. Oh, you like Charlie Daniels. If you can get CBS TV they're interviewing him tonight. Thank you Angie.~:) Tarheel
Hi! Tarheel I enjoyed reading this story. I am going to save it for Halloween. Vote up Canook
And that's the truth. How 'bout this Mentalist: what if some of the "Gods" from mythology were really from out there in those universes you write prose on so well, that just set themselves up as "gods" here on earth. Ever pondered on that one my 21st century Bard man.~:)
Hey JY your lucky that guy who claimed to have shot it was just making it up to keep all the attention in town going..LOL. Florence isn't that far from Bishopville, but back then you were living closer eh. If you still got that Lizard suit and can prove it your finances might go up along with some 15 minutes of fame~ good one bro. Got it checked to read your Hub on Fredrick Valentine disappearance & newer one when get caught up. Thanks John.
They are great cryptid type mysteries Rob. Mokele Mbembe just seems like it should be a hidden dinosaur deep in the Congo whether its real or not. Mothman,wow, theres one for the ages. The movie with Richard Geer in it was pretty good I thought. Your right, the appeal, mystery, is fun. Maybe not always so for those who run into some of these creatures though. Your welcome for the new one and thanks for your interest Rob. Gotta catch up with your 80s posse soon!
As They Say,Every Legend Has Some Truth.;)
Great Hub Alaster.;)
Alastar, I was living close to that area in SC when all that stuff was supposedly happening. Brought back memories...now, where did I put that lizard costume?
I love these mystery monster legends. From Mokele Mbembe to the Mothman; From the Boggy Creek Monster to bigfoot, I love 'em all. My favorite is Nessie from Scotland. There's such an appeal to the thought that strange, undiscovered creatures we know nothing about are walking the Earth, hidden just out of sight. That's what makes the idea so much fun.
I hadn't heard of the Lizard Man before, but I'll add him to the list. Thanks for the info.
Rob
My goodness Faithful, you may have more courage than you think; but freezing up in such a situation wouldn't be surprising for anyone. The one time in my life 'Fight or Flight' really kicked in, flight won hands down. It gives you an energy one can hardly believe they possessed. Hey, that's an excellent deduction on the cats and front car damage. You can see in the vid how spooked those folks were. Your right, who's to say. Thank you Faithful Daughter, you'll probably be alright in Florida,...except for that smelly Skunk Ape maybe!~:)
Good morning Hyph! Have you checked your car yet! Seriously, that's right about new species being discovered. A dinosaur fish is a recent one. I once heard someone in a part of the military that should know respond like this to the question: 'Are there unknown things deep within the earth's bowels'- his answer was yes, things a hundred times more horrible than what people see in movies like "The Cave" and another similar film. I ceased to be a doubter over twenty years ago. Your an amazing person Hyph. Strong beliefs but open to the Creator being more of a 'creator' than some assume. But the coin has flipped so to speak on these events, just look at whats on TV now. Yep, Merci for sure dear Hyph, always.
Holly Molly!!! If it were me in the middle of the road with this thing coming at me, I would have fumbled and dropped the car keys frozen in fear and become a tasty dinner for Mr. Lizard Man. The “fight or flight” response does not apply to me. It’s more the “freeze” response for me when it comes being scared out of my wit.
Looking at the video, it occurred to me that maybe it attacked the car because the cats ran up underneath it trying to hide.
This is one creepy story. I've heard of some very scary stories of strange encounters and some people just explain it away, but who's to say that there aren't any odd creatures in remote areas that have survived and remained in hiding through the ages.
Thanks for another good scare. Now, I’ll be afraid to drive at night. You know, Florida is not that far from Georgia and we do have swamps here.
Science continually discovers "new" species that had remained hidden for decades, centuries even. There surely are larger ones way back in secluded areas. As humans encroach and destroy their habitat, they come in contact with us more and more. This lizard man may be trying to survive and is forced to come closer to civilization to forage and even seek a mate. What is it? I don't have a clue. Am I a doubter? No. There are some amazing creations on our planet.
This is a well written and interesting piece of work. The fact that Christopher passed a polygraph is great to know. You did well to include that.
Hi pras, yes mystery galore here. Absolutely. I believe they exist too and yes, in possibly unknown recesses. Many witnesses to this case with evidence. The quest goes on. Thank you my friend, so glad you like. Your new Hub on the giant and complex ant colony only recently uncovered, its truly awesome.
Agree with you Lady Tenaz, and you've stated the situation perfectly. If a person ever has a bona fide experience with a strange animal or entity type its certainly something that changes their outlook or paradigm. Folks who say well, why has one never been caught etc are thinking in-side the box. We may not know all there is to know yet about everything. These events are not hocus-pocus but must have scientific answers behind them that at least the general public may not yet be aware of. Yes, very clever hoaxes occur, but this doesn't explain all of them. Very glad you were entertained, educated and enjoyed here my Pisces friend.~:)
Haaa! Mr. Epi after your bee-hive poem no doubt it would..LOL. Thanks for the recommendation and it'd be nice to hook up with whoever that is. Your featured writers are always winners. And Epi I wish the poets touch you have would rub off a little here. Appreciate you good friend.
Wow....This was so interesting. I had never knew about this before, but I love something about mystery. I do believe that this man was existed. There are many mysterious creatures out there and this world hide them in the secret place. They may appear without any noticed by us. Like this case, there are several witnesses, right. It's enough for us to believe. But research still needed to know more about the existence from this creature. You have done a great job, my friend. Thank for share all pictures and video as well. Vote up up!
Prasetio
I truly believe there are creatures out there beyond our understanding that we just haven't discovered yet. Obviously they are quick and evasive being able to go under the radar from us most of the time, but just enough to make the legends of "eye witness" accounts believable. I believe there are Sasquatch out there, and if they are just another form of living creature we don't know a lot about, perhaps the Lizard Man is yet another mysterious being that we have yet to document. Very entertaining, educating and enjoyable hub! Voted up!
...holy shite what a story - glad it was you telling this story and not me - my lizard man would have been pornographic - lol lol - but all kidding aside I just recommnended you to another hubber which I do all of the time anyway because if there's one writer here that I wish I could write like - it's you!!
You are the quintessential storyteller and historian - and you always leave me satisfied with each new subject as told by you in one of your landmark hubs.
lake erie time ontario canada 1:51am
So true Jackie. We don't know everything about these strange things. Oh yes, the coin has flipped on the UFOs, now your a kook if you laugh. Sure would like to see your pics. The ones like Lizard Man are not to be fooled with, they aren't gentle like the BF seem to be. Many people have disappeared in those swamps over time. The force to do the damage on all those vehicles is according to the State authorities and even Monster Quest TV to be beyond the power of any know clawed animal like a bear. Fun hub it is and good you like it. Your a brave( remember the panther) and wise woman, thank you Jackie.~:)
Well Alaster they keep finding lost tribes so I guess it is possible there are species out there that we still know nothing of. I use to laugh at UFO's and definitely believe in them now, as a matter of fact I think I might have caught a picture of one myself. I take sky shots almost daily and two different ones had a UFO it looked like in it. One picture was clearer than the other and there was a smaller one behind it, or it looked like it. So who knows. I think I might fear Lizard Man more than Big Foot. Surely it is something to have so many vehicles tampered with. Fun hub, good to have some fun ones. Awesome.
drbj thank you and that's a good deduction. 'It' definitely has thing for them. Doubtful about the Lizard Man obtaining any car insurance though. Know some folks who have a farm maybe 40 miles from that area and the men-folk( a tough but friendly bunch) have said there are parts of those swamps no person in their right minds would go anywhere near. The damage to the vehicles, if nothing else, is a bit intriguing though. There was even a car clawing/mauling not far from here recently. Who knows for sure?
After reading this fascinating story, Alastar, I believe that Lizard Man is not really looking to make trouble. He just wants to own his very own ride.
