The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp

The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp In this episode, we dive deep into the swamps of South Carolina to explore the legendary Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp. We kick things off with the most famous encounter from 1988, when 17-year-old Christopher Davis was driving home from his McDonald's shift when his tire blew out near the swamp. What happened next became the stuff of local legend—a towering 7-8 foot tall creature with glowing red eyes, green scaly skin, and three-clawed fingers leaped onto his car as he desperately tried to escape. Davis's harrowing account, validated by a polygraph test and the local sheriff, sparked a media frenzy that drew everyone from Good Morning America to the Washington Post to this small South Carolina town. We explore multiple sightings from that intense summer of 1988, including terrified teenagers, mauled vehicles, mysterious three-toed footprints that baffled biologists, and even police officers who witnessed evidence firsthand. The footprint castings remain the most compelling physical evidence—14 inches long with three clawed toes that experts couldn't match to any known animal. 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon. 🛸 ⁠⁠Have a paranormal encounter or story you'd like told on the podcast? ⁠⁠Submit it here.⁠⁠ 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merch 🛸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to send BTB something?
