Lizardmen In North America (1878 – Present)
In June of 1988, a sixteen-year-old boy named Christopher Davis was attacked by a 7-foot-tall,
scaly monster, while changing a flat tire near the Scape Ore Swamp in South Carolina.
The “Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp” (also known as the Lizard Man of Lee County) reportedly
tried to attack the youth’s car as he tried to escape.
Reports of the creature, and sometimes creatures, continue to this day in the area, the latest
being reported in 2005 and 2008.
Other areas of the country that seem to be home to lizard-like humanoids include Loveland, Ohio
(The Loveland Frog), Thetis Lake, British Columbia, Canada (Thetis Lake Monster) and also in
California.
Local legends of lizard-like races come from various periods of human history. There is the
Cecrops, the mythical first King of Athens who was half-man-half-snake, the Dragon Kings of
Chinese mythology, the Nāga in India and the Zahhak, a figure from Zoroastrian mythology, just to
