Ever since the Carolina to the north of us announced their first annual Bigfoot Festival, we’ve been anticipating (hoping!) we’d get our own festival here in South Carolina to celebrate our very own bipedal beast: the Lizardman. And guess what? It’s happening THIS JUNE!

First, a little history, in case you need a quick review of the Lizardman.

The Lizardman rose to fame in the 1980s after stalking the communities in and around Bishopville, South Carolina. Several eyewitness accounts all described the beast in similar fashion. In addition, the Lizardman caused some property damage that was pretty darn claw-like. Based on this information, the locals and authorities have come to the conclusion that Lizardman is real. The last known sighting was a couple of years ago.
He was first reported as being spotted next to Scape Ore Swamp near Bishopville.

However, further investigation by authorities placed him first in a tiny little nearby community (now mostly a ghost town). Read more about Brownsville here.

Now, on to the details of the Lizardman Festival!
It's set for June 8 -10 in Bishopville, at various locations depending on the event and day.

The event will feature guest appearances from some heavy-hitting enthusiasts who are especially knowledgeable in the unknown, including Lizardman.
But that's not all... UFO and other paranormal experts will be on hand, too.

And of course, what bipedal beast festival would be the same without some people who are experts in the country's most famous one? Don't be surprised if you actually SEE Lizardman or Bigfoot actually walking around, too! Seriously, don't.
Saturday's event at the festival is an all day Comic Con and will bring out costumes of all varieties. Maybe even some Lizardmans? We can only hope!

Watch two guys on the internet argue about whether Lizardman is real or not in this humorous 2015 video from Youtube user TheLipTV:

You don’t have to believe he’s real to enjoy the fun. But do you? Believe he’s real? We’d love to know which side of the fence you’re on.
