Bishopville, Lee Cty, South Carolina

Account
Chris Davis said that while changing a tire at 2 a.m. a creature with red eyes ran on two legs towards him from a field. He jumped in the car and drove off, but it caught up, grabbed the door handle, jumped on the roof of the car. He saw three fingers with long black fingernails. Finding of three-toed tracks on a nearby dirt road stirred interest in his story. Some reports described the creature as being green, and it was dubbed 'Lizardman'.
