Original subtitles

A giant, hairy beast

that walks on two legs.

A ferocious killer wolf

with a taste for human flesh.

And a red-eyed, nocturnal bird of prey

that is believed to be a harbinger of doom.

Throughout the world, there have been

countless sightings of bizarre creatures

that, based on eyewitness accounts,

can only be described as monsters.

Fearsome, grotesque beasts

that cannot be explained by science.

Is it possible that there really are terrifying monsters

lurking in the shadows of our planet?

Well, that is what we’ll try and find out.

Bigfoot researcher Matt Moneymaker and a colleague

are investigating reported Bigfoot sightings

in a wooded area near the town of Kent.

After spending years pursuing Bigfoot in hopes

of seeing one himself, Matt is eager to find out

whether there really is a giant creature in these woods.

We were staked out along a road.

The guy I was with was about 60 feet away.

And at about 2:30 a.m.,

something comes walking down the road.

I see something.

He sees it first through night vision.

Matt rushes over to investigate

and is stopped dead in his tracks by the sound of...

inhuman growling.

This thing steps out,

a very big, tall, hair-covered thing...

standing out there growling at me.

When you’ve got something that big that close to you,

you could see it well enough to know that must be a Bigfoot.

So I just kind of backed up and walked away.

I was pretty happy at that point, because I’m thinking

if this one’s going to do that reliably,

then this is a place that we’re going to get

some video footage of them,

if we’re coming here with the right kind of gear.

But when Matt returned with camera equipment

to document the encounter,

the creature had vanished.

Although Matt was not able to photograph the large,

hairy beast that he witnessed,

he remains convinced that what he saw

was, in fact, Bigfoot.

It’s one of those things that sounds so over the top,

but after I had a face-to-face encounter,

I knew it was exactly the same thing

that all the witnesses around there had described.

The encounter inspired Matt to found

the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, or BFRO.

The roots of it are people who were sharing information.

We were sharing sighting reports mainly

from different parts of the country.

And I came up with the idea that...

Why don’t we put all these into a website?

You know, sort it by county and state

so people can look up reports.

And when we did that, it worked really well.

Lots of people started submitting reports.

According to the BFRO, there have been more than

3,500 credible Bigfoot sightings since 1960.

Although science has yet to prove the existence

of the legendary man-beast,

that hasn’t stopped Bigfoot

from becoming a full-fledged phenomenon.

Bigfoot is literally everywhere.

There are Bigfoot stories in Nevada.

There are Bigfoot stories in Nebraska, Florida, Texas.

Literally every part of the country

has its own stories and legends of Bigfoot.

It’s likely wherever you live in this country,

you are within 100 miles of a place

that purportedly has a Bigfoot.

If these sightings are of a real creature,

then what exactly is Bigfoot?

And how did this phenomenon begin?

Bigfoot is generally reported

to be a very large, very furry, hominid creature.

Something like a person, but not a person.

Seen very often remotely in the forest.

And with various stories about sightings or about footprints

that really are pretty widespread

in many, many communities in the United States and in Canada.

Before 1958, people didn’t use the word Bigfoot.

But it was in 1958 in Northern California

guys building a road found footprints

around their gear when they would come back in the morning.

And a guy named Jerry Crew made plaster footprints

of these tracks and showed them to a reporter

in Eureka, and they dubbed it Bigfoot.

That was where the name first originated

and got into American vocabulary.

Photos of Jerry Crew’s cast of giant footprints

made headlines across the country.

Many Americans came to believe that a tall,

bipedal, apelike creature roamed

the forests of the Pacific Northwest.

I grew up in Washington State

where it’s hard to underestimate Bigfoot’s power.

Bigfoot is the mascot of different companies.

Bigfoot is all over billboards.

As a young boy in Washington State,

I fully believed in Bigfoot’s existence.

In 1967, interest in Bigfoot surged

when an investigator named Roger Patterson

captured incredible footage

of a creature that matched the description of Bigfoot

near Bluff Creek in Northern California.

Patterson’s film became an instant sensation,

but skeptics claimed

that it had to be a man

in a monkey suit.

One of the issues when it comes to people believing

in Bigfoot existing is, let’s face it,

mainstream sciences shun away from this topic.

However, amateur researchers are trying to pick up the slack,

bridge that gap between amateur and mainstream science.

Bigfoot researchers claim that the vast majority

of Bigfoot sightings are sincere

and that hoaxes represent only a small fraction of reports.

They also point out that stories

of Bigfoot-like animals are not merely a recent fad.

Believe it or not, more than 3,000 years ago,

the ancient Babylonians told stories

of a creature that sounds an awful lot like Bigfoot.

Except they called it Enkidu.

Enkidu is a hairy, wild

man-creature with super strength,

and he’s fearsome, he’s ready and willing

to defend this wild territory that he inhabits.

The king, Gilgamesh, becomes his soulmate,

basically... best friends.

So, this king becomes this amazing hero

through his relationship with this wild man

that has shown him how to negotiate the boundaries

between humanity and wildness.

Since that time, descriptions of so-called "wild men,"

half-human, half-ape beasts,

have popped up throughout history, all over the world.

In the Caucasus, there was something called the Alma

that was a big monster, a nature creature.

In Australia, there’s the aboriginal version,

which they call it a Yowie.

There is the Yeti in the Himalayas.

So there are local variations,

but the story is more or less the same:

very big, seemingly animallike.

Or is it human or is it some hybrid?

There’s the point.

In North America, there are Native American legends

that go back centuries,

long before the discoveries made by Jerry Crew

or Roger Patterson.

We know that Sasquatch, the preeminent Bigfoot creature

that we have in the United States

located in the Pacific Northwest,

that very word, Sasquatch, comes from a Salish tribal word

that means wild man or hairy man.

The natives of the Northwest say

that there are creatures that walk upright and only at night.

And can speak in their language.

I found in speaking with indigenous peoples

that they don’t describe them as an animal at all.

They call them the First Ones or the Old Ones.

These were the tribe that was here before we got here.

Could Bigfoot be one of man’s ancient ancestors?

According to many cultures around the world,

it’s a distinct possibility.

And if Bigfoot does exist, could it mean

that we might share our world with other strange creatures?

Perhaps a clue can be found in Texas,

where legend has it that a vicious monster

prowls the night and has an insatiable thirst

for blood.

After purchasing a brood of chickens

from a neighboring ranch, Phylis Canion makes a series

of gruesome discoveries inside her brand-new henhouse.

I brought the chickens home, and I had them for about two weeks.

And I went outside, and one of the chickens was dead.

What makes it unusual

is the chicken was still laying there.

And with the amount of predators that we have

in the state of Texas,

any predator would have taken the chicken and eaten it.

Over the next few weeks, Phylis collected the remains

of 27 more of her chickens,

each one killed in the same inexplicable fashion.

Every one of them had been opened up in the thorax area,

the feathers missing, and what appeared to me

to be no blood on the ground.

So, that told me then whatever it was

was not interested in the meat but interested in the blood.

And when I was talking to friends and neighbors about it,

they all immediately said, "My gosh,

"that’s the behavior of a chupacabra.

It’s going to kill the animal and suck the blood."

"Chupacabra."

To those who claim to have encountered one,

it is a fearsome monster.

Chupacabra means "goat sucker."

And it’s a really creepy-looking creature.

Some people say it looks like some kind of

strange hybrid-like dog.

The continental North American chupacabra,

is a four-legged, or quadrupedal animal

about the size of a dog, completely hairless

with a bluish-gray elephant hide type of covering.

They also display a number of abnormal characteristics.

Oftentimes, their limbs are disproportionate lengths.

So they’re very grotesque, odd, weird-looking animals.

Certain that what was preying on her chicken coop

was not a coyote or any other known canine,

Phylis began to consider whether it might be a chupacabra.

And then one morning, she got her answer.

One Saturday morning, I got a very early call, 7:00.

My neighbor rancher called and said, "My gosh.

"The strangest animal has been hit and killed

in front of the Canion Ranch."

So, I got in the truck, drove over there and I brought it back

and I took a 50-pound feed sack

and I cut it in half and laid it on the ground

and I laid the animal on it to give everybody

a perspective of the size of the animal.

I have seen mangy coyotes all of my life,

and this had no hair on it and no indication at all

that the skin was infested with any type

of skin disorder from mange or anything else.

It just did not have any hair on it at all.

Phylis sent tissue samples

from the dead creature out for analysis.

After waiting expectantly for weeks,

she was surprised by the results.

So, when they called me, they said,

"Well, it’s coyote on the maternal side

and Mexican wolf on the paternal."

The DNA tests indicating that the...

the animal was a... was a hybrid, essentially,

between a Mexican wolf and a coyote

is a little surprising in the fact

that those species don’t typically hybridize.

But it’s not entirely impossible.

We do know that the ranges of those two species do overlap

in Arizona and Texas and northern Mexico,

so it’s at least physically possible

that they could encounter each other, um, to form hybrids.

With such conclusive DNA results,

many considered the case closed.

But according to Phylis,

something was not quite adding up.

The mystery of the whole thing

was the manner in which every chicken was killed.

It would suck all of the blood out.

So, we know that it’s coyote and Mexican wolf,

but neither of those animals suck blood.

So, even though this animal has that DNA, what is it?

Why would it have that behavior?

When the taxidermist mounted it for me,

he had to get a coyote mold and a wolf mold,

and blend them together to make the hide fit.

The tail is longer than a wolf tail or a coyote tail.

The neck, the ears, everything was so extreme.

It took him forever to get it mounted.

We had about 13 different specialists

from around the world come and look at it.

And to date, they’ve all left scratching their head

like the day they came in,

because they just cannot figure it out as well.

If they really exist,

are chupacabra merely the result of natural selection gone wrong?

Or could this grotesque monster

be the result of not natural causes

but manmade ones?

There are some who believe the answer

is a disturbing yes.

Through the course of my research

on the Texas chupacabras,

I found a direct correlation between sightings

on Phylis Canion’s property and elsewhere,

and coal-burning power plants.

Coal-burning power plants,

in fact, emit huge amounts of sulfur dioxide

and other hard metals like lead into the atmosphere.

And in recent studies, scientists have found

that sulfur dioxide is, in fact, a mutagen.

It altered the cellular makeup or genetic makeup

of laboratory mice.

So, in fact, this pollution could be having

a similar effect on these Texas coyotes or other canids.

Chemicals in the environment

can absolutely cause mutations to animals in-in the wild.

We saw this in Minnesota when a classroom

out on a field trip discovered a pond

with frogs that had extra legs or missing limbs

or body features in the wrong position.

And these were most likely caused by some type

of environmental contaminant.

There is actually a type of chupacabra

that’s been reported from parts of Puerto Rico.

The Puerto Rican chupacabra is described as about

three and a half to five feet tall,

standing on two legs, fangs, claws,

and strangely a row of spikes going down its back.

Why are there so many different versions of the chupacabra,

and why are they so radically different-looking

in terms of the Puerto Rican version

versus the North American version versus other versions?

So, in fact, pollution could be having

a similar effect to create all types of strange creatures.

Is the chupacabra a genetically mutated animal

that evolved as a result of industrial pollution?

Perhaps, but then again,

monsters have been reported for centuries,

long before the onset of modern civilization.

For instance, in 18th-century France,

more than 100 people fell victim

to a ravenous, wolflike creature that was known

as the Beast of Gévaudan.

On a warm summer morning in this farming region

of south-central France,

14-year-old Jeanne Boulet

leaves home to tend her flock of sheep.

By sundown, she’s dead.

Murdered by a mysterious animal

that reportedly mutilated her body,

severed her head and ripped out her heart.

Jeanne Boulet was the first documented casualty

of a monster that many people believed

was roaming around south-central France

beginning in the late spring of 1764.

By the end of September,

another ten or so casualties, however, had appeared.

La Bête du Gévaudan, also known as the Beast of Gévaudan,

was a mysterious wolflike creature

which mounted a murderous rampage

over a three-year span within the 18th century.

The Beast frequently attacked women and young children

who had been assigned the task

of herding sheep and cattle in remote mountainous meadows.

And in many cases,

they were rather defenseless and vulnerable.

Between 1764 and 1767,

the so-called Beast of Gévaudan

terrorized the Margeride Mountain region

of southern France.

According to historical records,

more than 100 people were brutally killed.

The Beast of the Gévaudan’s ravages

did incite panic among the people.

And we know this largely from evidence from journalists

and others who were commenting about

the activities of the Beast.

By early 1765, newspapers all across France,

and indeed all across Europe and in America,

were reporting on the Beast of the Gévaudan.

His exploits, the various hunts for the Beast,

the various mysteries surrounding it,

which is why so many people were transfixed by this story.

There were many attempts to hunt down the Beast.

People in the Gévaudan region typically did not own guns,

but there were posses formed.

Groups that would go out in the woods and literally

beat the brush with pitchforks,

sticks, knives, whatever types of weapons were available.

However, the hunt for the Beast really ramped up

when King Louis XV became involved.

He brought in a professional wolf hunter named d’Enneval,

who allegedly killed over 100 wolves,

but the killing still did not end.

According to multiple reports, the beast resembled a wolf

but was unlike any canine that was known to man.

Many of the local villagers noted as saying it resembles

a very large wolf, but the Beast of Gévaudan

attacked and killed people

in a nature that was very unlike a wolf.

The nature of these attacks...

the way that this thing was decapitating people...

disemboweling people,

this was something completely different.

One of the reasons this becomes such a magnetic story,

it’s because there were always new strange stories

about the Beast’s behavior,

its appearance, its strange abilities.

The peasants on the ground were describing it as

having the ability to walk on its hind legs,

glowing eyes, and having five or six talons

rather than four.

They didn’t use the word "werewolf."

They used descriptions of this creature

that made it easy to believe

that this could indeed be a werewolf.

The Beast of Gévaudan is one of France’s

most enduring and popular mysteries.

There are museums.

There are statues.

There are songs. There are stories.

This was like a real-life nightmare.

To this day, the Beast of Gévaudan is celebrated

in French culture and it really has a profound effect on people.

The descriptions of the Beast were so terrifying

that it’s not surprising locals thought

it was some kind of supernatural monster.

But there were scientists at the time

who proposed a different theory.

Among the many hypotheses that emerged

was that the beast might be an African hyena.

The hyena was this very mysterious creature

that lots of naturalists and others wrote about

in the 1750s and ’60s.

The general description of the Beast of Gévaudan

was a wolflike creature but bigger,

the size of a mule or a calf, perhaps.

It had a large head.

It had a long muzzle, lined with razor-sharp teeth.

Pointy ears.

A long tail with a tuft of fur on the end.

The coat of fur was typically described

as a reddish-brown or gray,

with a black stripe running down the back and a white breast.

These are hyena-like characteristics.

Back in the day, kings and even people of status

had exotic pets, they had exotic zoos.

Who’s to say that a hyena didn’t escape?

If you take a look at the victims,

their chest cavities torn apart,

their limbs missing, their heads decapitated,

this all resembles attacks of a hyena.

Could the Beast of Gévaudan have been an escaped African hyena?

Perhaps.

But while that theory may make sense,

the best clue scientists have today

about the Beast’s identity

was obtained on the day it was reportedly killed.

The Beast’s reign of terror ended on June 19, 1767,

when a local hunter named Jean Chastel

felled the monster with one shot of a silver bullet.

After Chastel shot this strange creature,

the killings actually stopped, so everyone was in agreement

that-that he had actually killed the beast.

A surgeon who conducted an autopsy determined

that while it resembled a wolf, it was not a wolf.

And in fact, it possessed 40 teeth

compared to a wolf’s 42 teeth, which is quite strange.

The Beast’s remains were paraded around

the Gévaudan region for weeks thereafter.

And by the time the carcass was taken

to the Palace of Versailles and presented to King Louis XV,

it was so smelly that he immediately demanded

that it be removed from the palace.

And to this day, nobody knows what happened

to those remains... They vanished.

Ultimately, while some people feel

the Beast of Gévaudan may have been a supernatural phenomenon,

the deaths, the occurrences documented, they’re real.

And the Beast of Gévaudan remains a great mystery.

Was the Beast of Gévaudan a common wolf

or something far more terrifying?

Either way, the people of France believed

that the Beast needed to be hunted down and killed.

But fighting back against monsters

may not always be an option.

In fact, there have been reports

of another wolflike creature, in Utah.

One that is so fearsome and so powerful

that not even bullets can stop it.

Here on 512 acres of rugged land

lies a remote cattle ranch.

But according to local legend, this desert landscape

is also home to a creature of unspeakable evil.

A creature known as the Skinwalker.

A Skinwalker is a shape-shifter.

It can become many things: a fox, a coyote, a wolf.

There are these recorded stories of bipedal creatures

that are walking around with wolflike heads.

The locals on the reservation, they won’t talk about it

because even mentioning the name of the Skinwalker

invites these things in.

Skinwalkers.

Shape-shifting werewolves

who dwell not in remote forests of Eastern Europe

but in the remote desert regions of North America.

Experienced ranch hands Terry and Gwen Sherman

purchased the ranch and the surrounding area.

Almost immediately, they find themselves face-to-face

with something they would later describe as pure evil.

One day, Terry had gone up to check on his cattle and noticed

this extremely large, what appeared to be a wolf

walking around on his property.

It grabbed one of the calves by the snout

and began to tear at it.

So he pulls out his .357 Magnum

and shoots point-blank.

And the wolf doesn’t react.

It doesn’t appear fazed at all.

So he grabs his deer hunting rifle

and shoots the wolf to knock it down.

A piece of fur and flesh flies off of the wolf.

But, again, completely unfazed,

and at this point, the wolf is kind of trotting off

into the distance, casually.

Leveling his rifle, Terry cautiously

followed the wolf’s trail,

only to discover it had disappeared.

In the days and weeks that followed,

the Shermans began to wonder if what they encountered

was a normal wolf

or something more.

In the case of the bulletproof wolf, what’s interesting

is that wolves are not native to the state of Utah

for, I think, the past 100 years or so.

The werewolf of legend is described as looking

very much like a regular wolf except much larger.

And oftentimes, it is said to be

sort of bloodthirsty and cunning.

We have lots of interesting legends around the world.

For example, in Russia, they’re known

as the vârcolac or the bodark.

In France, you have the loup-garou.

In Scotland, the wulver, and in South America, the lobizon.

And even in countries where you don’t traditionally

have wolves, you have similar legends.

For example, in India, there are weretigers.

And in Africa, wereleopards and werehyenas.

And even in Mexico, werejaguars.

We have to acknowledge that the notion

of a shape-shifter, like a werewolf,

something that combines the elements

of human and animal together into one single body,

from a scientific perspective, is quite troubling.

But the fact that these legends

are so widespread is quite intriguing.

An enormous, bloodthirsty, cunning wolf

that also happens to be bulletproof?

Is it possible that the Shermans encountered

one of the werewolves that may have been haunting

Skinwalker Ranch for centuries?

And if so, what physical evidence is there

to support such a fantastic notion?

There has been numerous reports

of cattle mutilations that occur not only on Skinwalker Ranch

but the entire Uinta Basin.

Many of the accounts of animal mutilations

from Skinwalker Ranch describe animal carcasses

that have almost been surgically dissected.

Certain large cats can make very clean, precise wounds.

Things like mountain lions.

But it is notable that you have so many accounts

of weird livestock mutilations from Skinwalker Ranch.

This is very hard to explain in terms of the natural world.

With so many accounts of cattle mutilations

and sightings of unusually large and ferocious wolves,

it is difficult to escape the notion that something strange

is prowling the grounds of Skinwalker Ranch.

But according to some scientists,

that doesn’t necessarily mean

that people are seeing a werewolf.

One of the really fascinating theories that relates

to these monstrous wolves from Skinwalker Ranch

is that these could, in fact, be surviving representatives

of a species known as dire wolves, Canis dirus.

These were very robust wolves that lived

during the Pleistocene epoch up until about 11,500 years ago,

and they were very prevalent in North America.

They were certainly much larger and stockier than modern wolves.

So it’s not beyond the realm of possibility

that a species from 11,000 years ago may have survived

in small pockets in certain remote areas of North America.

Is the Skinwalker a rare breed of animal that simply

hasn’t been identified yet by mainstream science?

Or could it be exactly what witnesses insist it is:

a werewolf?

Well, if a shape-shifting canine

sounds too frightening to be true,

then just wait till you hear about our next monster.

It’s a flying beast with glowing red eyes

that has been seen in the skies above West Virginia,

and it’s known as the Mothman.

Linda Sigman and her boyfriend

head out for a quiet nighttime drive.

Far beyond the city lights, they pull over

to do some amateur stargazing.

After a few minutes, they realize they’re not alone.

We got out and we sat on the car,

and we’re sitting there talking for a little bit, and...

I noticed a bright star over to my right.

And all of a sudden, it started to get bigger.

And it turned bright red and started to glow,

and like it burst through the clouds.

And it came right over in front of the car, and we looked up,

and the object was so big that we couldn’t see

the night sky or the stars or anything.

When my boyfriend tried to start the car and it wouldn’t start,

finally got the car started and we started to pull forward,

and I saw him.

And he appeared to be

a large flying man with wings.

It was the creature

that I perceive to be Mothman.

His wings were back, and he was anywhere between

eight and nine feet tall, and as we were going around a turn,

the Mothman flew and flew into the trees.

I don’t know what else it could’ve been.

The Mothman?

A large, red-eyed, human-sized creature that flies?

But if such a creature exists, where could it have come from?

Mothman is one of the most enigmatic creatures

in the annals of the unexplained.

And first gained public notoriety

in November of 1966.

And within a matter of days and weeks,

there were dozens or perhaps hundreds of sightings

of this creature around the Point Pleasant area,

causing a mass hysteria situation.

Skeptics have attributed the Mothman sightings

to a misidentification of giant owls

or even a crane that is local to the area.

There’s all kinds of other explanations

that have been given, but when you interview

the people that actually saw and experienced this,

they’re not talking about anything

that is conventionally known.

West Virginia people are outdoorsy people.

They know all the animals in the woods.

Most are avid outdoorsmen, hunters,

fishermen, they know the difference

between an owl and a Mothman type creature.

We have to consider that the Mothman’s behavior,

which involved chasing cars at over 100 miles an hour,

taking straight up off the ground like a helicopter,

none of those would indicate any type of flesh-and-blood animal.

Chasing cars at over 100 miles an hour?

If true, then this thing is no owl.

At least not a normal one.

But for the residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia,

the more pressing question is whether the Mothman

is a friend or a foe.

It’s been seen a lot of times right before tragedies happen.

That’s the only common thing we know.

It seems to show up at tragedies.

On December 15, 1967,

the Silver Bridge, which spanned

from Point Pleasant over to Kanauga, Ohio,

collapsed at about 5:00 on a Friday evening.

It was the worst bridge disaster in U.S. history.

46 people died.

I was six when the bridge fell.

And I remember at that time there were people that claimed

that they seen a large bird flying back and forth, you know,

across the river before the bridge fell.

The official story is that it was just wear and tear

and the 46 people who were killed

just didn’t really stand a chance.

There are rumors that the Mothman was seen

around the time that the bridge collapsed.

So, there was inevitably talk around town that somehow

the Mothman had either caused the tragedy

or, in a strange way,

was kind of like a grim reaper for many people.

To this day, residents of Point Pleasant draw a connection

between the Mothman and this bridge collapse,

perhaps perceiving the Mothman’s appearance

as some type of premonition or omen of the tragedy.

I would say probably in Point Pleasant it’s 50/50.

50% of the people believe that Mothman caused

the Silver Bridge tragedy, and the other 50% believe that

he may have been here as a warning

to get everyone on guard that something terrible may happen.

Is it possible that, contrary to popular belief,

the Mothman is a force for good?

It’s an interesting notion

and suggests that some strange creatures

may have more in common with humans than we realize.

For instance, there have been reports

of a bizarre beast that dwells in the swamps of South Carolina

and is said to be part man...

and part reptile.

17-year-old Christopher Davis stops to change a flat tire

deep in the back roads of Scape Ore Swamp,

and he quickly senses

that he is not alone.

About the time he’s putting the jack and the flat tire

into the trunk of his car,

he looks up and he sees something

coming at him in the moonlight.

The closer this thing got,

the more he knew this wasn’t a person.

He looked up and he saw

a greenish-looking figure,

maybe about seven to eight foot tall

and arms that draped down to the side

with three claws on each hand.

Sensing he could be in danger,

Christopher bolts into the car

and drives away as fast as he can.

Christopher looked in his rearview mirror,

and could see this thing pursuing him.

He was completely frightened,

utterly overwhelmed by what he saw coming at him.

Eventually, it disappeared into the darkness.

Christopher got home safe and sound.

But his terrifying story quickly spread through the media.

Newspapers and television stations

jumped on the bizarre encounter.

Deep in the Scape Ore Swamp of South Carolina,

there reportedly lives a creature

that is part man and part beast.

A creature that 17-year-old Christopher Davis

claims attacked his car late one night

on this lonely country road.

Seven feet tall.

Long arms. Red eyes.

There was a media frenzy once the story got out.

There were stories in newspapers in Korea about the Lizard Man.

And that’s just a tribute

to the viral-ness of the Lizard Man.

During the media frenzy, dozens of other eyewitnesses

began contacting the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

They all claimed to have had similar encounters

with a strange, three-fingered creature

that appeared to be part man and part reptile.

But rather than dismiss such reports,

law enforcement took them quite seriously.

They had the witnesses come in.

They interviewed them,

in some cases gave them polygraph tests.

And all of the witnesses

that reported sightings of the Lizard Man were credible.

Could there really be a reptile species

that evolved to walk upright like humans?

And if so, is it possible that there are bizarre

human-and-reptile hybrids that are still alive today?

There have been a number of other sightings

of the Lizard Man outside of Lee County

and Sumter County in South Carolina.

There’s some in Europe. There’s some in South Africa.

Every one of them was about six to eight feet tall

with red eyes.

It always had red eyes.

That is one commonality that you can’t get over.

And so, it is certainly possible that the Lizard Man is real.

So, what do you think?

Do we share our planet with Lizard Men,

otherworldly beasts and bloodthirsty wolves?

May seem hard to believe.

That is, until you come face-to-face

with one of these creatures yourself.

So perhaps we should heed the warnings

of the eyewitnesses, just in case

there really are dangerous monsters on our planet that,

for the moment, remain unexplained.
