The Lizard Man of South Carolina is an urban myth to some, and to others a very real entity that has returned to terrorize a small community. hmmm...EPA/ALESSANDRO DELLA BELLA

hmmm...EPA/ALESSANDRO DELLA BELLAIn tiny Bishopville - Dixie Rawson sent local WIS News 10 an email about a big surprise she got at her home Thursday morning. "The whole front half of our van is chewed up. There are bite marks right through the front grill. Both sides of the van above the wheel wells were bitten and the metal is bent like a piece of paper."There is a local legend of the Lizard Man, one that locals swear by.Dan Torjdman reports for WIStv that "the legend blows in with a brisk winter wind, sending chills through neighbors in Lee County.""I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't believe it," says Bob Rawson. He looks down at the blood and claw marks on his van. "He literally bit, you can feel where he bit straight through here."The "he" Rawson is referring to is the infamous "Lizard Man" returning after a sabbatical of two decades after first being spotted near Scape Ore swamp.The legend has it the "man" is a seven-foot monster with green skin, three toes and a three clawed fingers.Along with their ruined vehicle, the Rawsons also report their cats are missing, towels inside their sleeping boxes are shredded, as is their morning paper. Whatever did this, the Rawsons aren't taking any chances.Tordjman reports that Rawson is armed with a Glock and "ready to shoot what he feels is most likely a bear. Lee County Sheriff E.J. Melvin says it could be a coyote, but then again, "All the scratch marks, people are saying, 'Sheriff, it's Lizard Man.' Don't know. It's hard to say."

BTW, Those towels and that paper are hardly what you could call shredded. Looks like someone was exagerating to make themselves look good.
