Looks like there is more info related to this recent event. Turns out a dead coyote and a dead cow were found just yards from the minivan and the damage to the minivan included “dented in” quater-panels and ripped-out wheel wells. (check out wistv.com). Also I remember from older reports that the “Lizard Man” has attacked motor vehicles before. I guess he or she has a problem with automobiles.

That damage is not above what a Black Bear is capable of. They have been known to rip entire doors off cars just to get to an ice cooler. Take a 250-500 lb. animal, give it the tenacity and cleverness of a Black Bear, and you have a recipe for something like this. Here, check out an example of what a Black bear once did:

It took the entire back seat out of the car, and ripped part of the door-frame out.

Also, it should be noted that there have been recent animal on pet attacks in SE, North Carolina. I looked over the evidence, including the damage done to an APBT (American Pit Bull Terrier), and the pawprints, and I have determined it was in fact a Mountain Lion. It makes complete sense seeing as Virginia to the North has confirmed Mountain Lions in the Blue Ridge, and Florida to the south has confirmed Panthers. Given the Marshy environment of Southeast North Carolina, and even South Carolina, it is not too difficult to imagine a Panther/Mountain Lion existing in such an environment.

To mezmer1: If you want to pay for my travel expenses I’ll be there in a heartbeat; I’ve never been to South Carolina before, but I have been many places in this country with their own “unique” local characters, and have a few “close calls”. If the Skinwalker Ranch observations were still up and running I’d plop my butt down in the middle of that if given the chance.

I am NOT joking. Name the date. I’ll be willing to camp, hike, bait, and document for one month. I have my own back country equiptment. I am not one of those,”Oh well, we gave it a good 2 days, but we didn’t find Bigfoot! Now give me my $3000.” I’d do it for a fraction of that. Just get me there and transportation to the hot spots, and we’ll be having a beer discussing where to start before you know it.

The only stipulation is there will be NO harm brought to the “creature”. It will documented and evidence will (hopefully) be gathered for testing and that’s THAT.

So, you’ve been called out on it by a VERY serious person. What’s it going to be?

Dang it! My comment didn’t post and I can’t remember what I wrote. Anyway, I grew up 15 minutes from Bishopville, SC (where the Lizard Man was spotted) and it was great! I can remember my mom and dad taking my little sister and me over to the swamp where he was seen. Of course we were terrified, but we were 5 and 7 years old. Good times, Good times. I am actually trying to find a Lizard Man t-shirt. Has anyone seen them anywhere?

I grew up about 15 minutes from the Lizard Man phenomenon. It was great! I can remember the whole family getting in the car and our dad drove us over to see the Lizard Man. My little sister and I were terrified. Of course we were approximately 5 and 7 years old at the time.

Anyway, agreeing with an earlier post, I wanted to find the t-shirts again. I started looking for them about a year ago and have been unsuccessful so far. Anyone seen them around?

Guys I am here in Columbia SC not far from bishopville. I have seen the damage on the vehicle and all I have to say is that with all the bite marks and scratches anything like a coyote or bear would have left a claw or tooth behind. Those animals aren’t just gonna gnaw away at a hunk of metal like that. And if they did I would be pretty certain that it would have left a tooth or something behind. Unless it was our fearless heroe canine UNDERDOG !!!! That damage is a little much for any regular animal to have done. One or two bite and scratch marks , yes, but the whole front grill come on that is just pure CATTLE BRAINED thinking. Think about it the world is something like 70% water. Do you for 1 second believe that we have found every species of every living thing that inhabits the parts of the world that are water. Heck, we can’t even reach a quarter of the way down the Marrianas Trench.Who knows what is out there. I have a good test. Why don’t all of you who are so adimant that this creature doesn’t exist come onn out to bishopville and we’ll use you guys as bait. Hey, you’ve got nothing to worry about, RIGHT !!!!!!!

All I want to know is where do I get one of those lizard man tshirts? I have checked for links, but didn’t find anything.

Not buying it. A tall, bipedal creature would need to get on its hands and knees, cock its head at an unnatural (for a biped) angle to get a purchase on the car parts shown and then nibble.

Even if you assume that it wanted something in the hood area of the car, a biped with use of its arms would be likely to do some pounding and denting and smashing. Not nibbling.

Though fun to read, it’s these stories that make the researchers of the “abnormal” sciences look like fruitcakes by association.

It was a dog or a coyote. The scratch patterns are exactly what you find when they have an animal trapped. Nip, grab, shake, dig, repeat.

A bear is easily ruled out for the lack of the damage not being spread out. Bears are “testers”. Sniff, claw, pry (with paws), repeat until a weak spot is found. It it were a bear there woudln’t be a grill on that car with that many “grab points” available. There are numerous pics of post-bear raids on cars, many of which show car doors being grabbed by the top and peeled down like a sardine can. Hoods have been peeled up in the same manner when food has been left on dashboards.

As for Lizard Man…what a hilarious visual…a 7 foot bipedal cyptid chases a cat to a car, looks around for some way to get at it, shrugs to itself, and drops down on its hands and knees and starts nipping at a hood with its front teeth. Talk about evolution coming to a screeching halt.

(Hunting partners standing by fence chewing on a tabby watching this:)

“Ya know Zanu, I think we should leave Blech back at the swamp next time…”

“Probably right, but I promised his mom I would bring him along…”

There are a heck of alot of unexplained phenomenon out there, but I doubt this is one of them.

(The couple probably found the damage on the way to pick up their Lizard Man t-chirts from the screen printers down the street …….)

seems silly that a 7 foot tall reptilian man would be chasing cats and attacking car grills. If this is real and i doubt it going after cats would seem like a waste of time energy wise when he could have easily attacked the elderly couple and had them for a snack. I mean when was the last time you ever heard of a grizzly bear chasing rabbits to eat just seems like this was prob a bunch of kids havening fun with the lizard man story
