The Lizard Man (urban legend)

The Lizard Man is a popular urban legend from South Carolina, describing a mysterious, reptilian humanoid creature seen near the swamps and ponds of Lee County. Described as tall, with scaly green skin, glowing eyes, and sometimes a flinty tail, it reportedly appears at night, causing fear among locals. Sightings date back to the 1980s, often linked to car accidents or unexplained sounds. While no scientific evidence supports its existence, the legend persists as a local folklore, blending fears of the unknown with regional storytelling about a mysterious, lizard-like entity lurking in the wilderness.
