Now I have the song “Red Skies at Night” from The Fixx stuck in my head, only instead of those words I’m hearing “Cave bear on ice! Cave bear on ice! Whoah oh oh oh oh oh oh!” Yes, it’s a weird place inside my head. Our ancestors had a hard go, if you think…

THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 43
“You will fight,” the Gamesmaster had promised me. Fool that I was, to consider that it could have been otherwise! The Romans knew as much about my condition as I did, and more. Already they knew the lesson of silver and the power it held over one of my kind. They also knew, as I…
Lizardman: Is It For Real? Part Four: Taking It to the Grave
I put the question to Eddie, the docent at the South Carolina Cotton Museum on the day of my visit. Does he believe the Lizardman is real, or is it all just a big hoax? With a smile, he told me about the automobiles that were damaged back during the Lizardman’s reign of not-so-terrifying-terror in…
Lizardman: Is It For Real? Part Three: Fake Footprints?
As skeptics have supposedly found holes in the account made by 17-year-old Christopher Davis, who was attacked—well, his car was—by Lizardman, so too have those who looked at it with a critical eye been able to poke some holes in the admission of Brother Elmore that it was he who scared Davis on the night…
Lizardman: Is It For Real? Part Two: The Butterbean Shed
The only reported incident where the Lizard Man attempted to attack a human being occurred in 1988, when a 17-year-old named Christopher Davis, driving home from work late at night down Browntown Road, had a blowout near the butterbean drying shed owned by local farmer “Brother” Elmore. After stopping to fix the tire, Davis said:…
Lizardman: Is It For Real? Part One
Forgive me, friends, but I just got back from Bishopville, South Carolina and I still have Lizardman on the brain. I got tons of material during my trip to serve as fodder for articles on this site, and I aim to make use of it all. Also it lets me mentally revisit my recent escapades,…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 42
Beyond Caesar’s absent and distracted influence, I encountered there in the hallway of that building a much more personal, more involved evil. No taller than the Emperor, but younger and leaner, the second man clad in the robes of a politician had the look of a mongrel dog starved to the point of death and…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 41
Whatever expectations I might have entertained about the Emperor, and in truth I had given it little thought, I found myself underwhelmed by the reality. I had heard little more about Decius than his name, and this brought to my ears by an oarsman of a trade vessel who had chosen to cast his lot…
THE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 40
Now they paraded me down the streets for all the populace to gaze upon. I recalled the story I had heard from the Christians among whom I had grown up, of Caesar bringing the captive Gaul, Vercigenteroux, home to Rome in a cage, exhibiting him in just such a spectacle. I wondered, had the Gaul…
Locating Lonely, Lovely Lizardman Locations
Here is the map of all the Lizardman sightings from the late 80s, followed by photographs I took at as many of the actual locations as I could find. The Lizardman Burger on the menu at Harry and Harry Too is not made from real Lizardman, but it’s so delicious that I wanted to take…
