BISHOPVILLE, SC (WIS) - After a nasty surprise Thursday morning for one Bishopville resident, she's wondering if the "Lizard Man" is back.
Dixie Rawson of Bishopville sent WIS News 10 an e-mail 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."
It reminded Dixie of the local legend of the "Lizard Man" that stretches back for decades. Now some are wondering if the Lizard Man is back.
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."
Who is "he"? It's a point of renewed debate in the area. Some are sure they know the only creature capable of this kind of damage is the Lizard Man.
If it is the Lizard Man, he's back nearly two decades after first being spotted near Scape Ore swamp.
No one's ever been able to confirm the account of the seven-foot monster with green skin, three toes and a three clawed fingers.
In addition to the car damage, the Rawsons didn't find their cats in the boxes where they usually sleep. They did find the towels inside shredded, and the same story with the morning paper. Whatever did this, the Rawsons aren't taking any chances.
His Glock loaded, Mr. Rawson is 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."
Several of the Rawsons' 20 plus cats have also disappeared. They're hoping they were just scared away. |

| This is more in my neck of the woods. The Lizard Man is better known in Orangeburg County rather than Lee County. He must be getting around! Course, I haven't seen him, but that doesn't prove anything one way or the other. |

If it is a bear that Glock is just going to piss him off. Even the Glock 10mm isn't fit bear.
And 20 cats? I immediately suspect their judgment. |

| I think maybe ol' Bob tore up the family car out drunk and doesn't want to tell Dixie about it. |

Interesting looking damage. It definitely doesn't look like teeth marks, too much scratching around the holes, no dents from false starts, and the holes aren't in any sort of bite pattern.
It looks like a lot of individual hit from something. |

| Wanna bet this comes down to a case of pissed off neighbors? |

| Probably something like "You've got 20 flippen cats! They're pissing all over my flower beds, get rid of the fuckers or I will!" |

And the winner is....
| Quote: | DNA tests exonerate 'Lizard Man' in van attack
Thu May 15, 6:54 PM ET
BISHOPVILLE, S.C. - DNA testing has shown an attack on a family van some blamed on the legendary Lizard Man appears to have been actually done by a domestic dog. Something chewed up the front fender of Bob and Dixie Rawson's van in February. Bite marks were left on the wheel wells and blood was found on the vehicle.
The Item of Sumter reported that a veterinary lab in California tested the blood and found it came from a dog.
But Bob Rawson isn't sure, saying it would have to be one big dog.
Lee County Sheriff E.J. Melvin isn't convinced either. He thinks it was a coyote or wolf.
Lizard Man became a phenomenon in the area 20 years ago when people began reporting a tall, big-eyed swamp creature. Authorities never figured out exactly what prompted the sightings.
