Real Monster caught on Tape YouTube

For almost 30 years, in an otherwise nondescript area of swampland in Bishopville, South Carolina, something extraordinary has been happening. Ever since the 1980s, disturbing reports have repeatedly surfaced suggesting that these seemingly peaceful marshes are home to a creature that is neither human nor beast, but something troublingly in-between. That now legendary beast is ominously known as the Bishopville Lizard Man.

During the middle of a winter night in 1988, a young man had stopped his car next to the swamp in order to change a flat tire, when a terrifying figure emerged from the trees and charged directly at him. Eyewitnesses described a 7-foot-tall, human-like creature with green, scaly skin and three-toed feet and hands.

Various videos have allegedly caught this Lizard Man on film - take a look at this unnerving still from a video recorded in 2012:

Verified Lizard Man or not, that isn't the type of figure you want creeping around your campsite in the dead of night.

Now, after a 3 year hiatus of reptilian sightings, Bishopville's infamous cold blooded resident appears to be back, caught on camera just last Sunday.

The Lizard Man Resurfaces

The image above was taken by a South Carolinian leaving a church in Bishopville, recovering from her startled shock just long enough to whip out her phone and take a snapshot of the beast.

Now, I'll admit that I'm no expert on the existence of dubious mythological creatures, but this thing looks like its come straight out of a Saturday morning kids cartoon from the '90s.

Nevertheless, the woman who sighted the red-eyed giant remained adamant about what she saw, telling ABC News 4:

Which, apparently, was enough to convince the folks at ABC - a national news network - to suggest that the half-reptile, half-man was back to its old tricks, terrorizing the local swampland.
