Meet our new friend, the Lizard Man of Bishopville, South Carolina — the seven-foot swamp celebrity with glowing red eyes, three toes, and a serious grudge against car bumpers. Back in the summer of ’88, poor Christopher Davis was just changing a tire when this scaly superstar came charging out of Scape Ore Swamp, leaving scratches, dents, and a lifetime of questions.
Was it a cryptid? A prank? A sweaty guy in a bad costume? Who knows — but Bishopville turned him into a legend, complete with T-shirts, festivals, and even plaster casts of those famous footprints.
Tune in as we head deep into the swamp to uncover how one wild night turned into one of the South’s strangest love stories between a town and its lizard.
