Book News: Lizardmen
Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 25th, 2005
North Carolina resident and cryptozoologist Mark A. Hall has written a new 2005 book Lizardmen, about the seemingly bipedal reptiloids that have had some curious encounters with humans. These reports cross the investigative path of cryptozoologists, now and then, and have many people scratching their heads. Hall, based on his past writings on this subject in his journal Wonders, explores and extends his theories in this latest book.
It looks to be a volume with some intriguing and new material, as is to be expected from Hall’s intellectual works.
Here’s a peek inside, with a look at the chapter headings:
Chapter 1 – A Mystery at Blake’s Reserve
Chapter 2 – 1988 Was the Year of the Lizardman
Chapter 3 – Lizardmen of the Carolinas
Chapter 4 – Revealed: The Origin of Lizardmen
Chapter 5 – What the Indians Say About Lizardmen
Chapter 6 – More Lizardmen in Our Times
Chapter 7 – Those Incredible Tracks
Chapter 8 – A World of Lizardmen
Chapter 9 – The Lives of Lizardmen
Chapter 10 – The Lure of the Mermaid
Chapter 11 – The Mysterious Ones
Chapter 12 – The Lizardmen in Our Future
With the Creature of the Black Lagoon movie being remade (see my earlier blog entry on that), I guess we can say it may be an era of the Lizardmen returnth.

Lizardman in S.C. – I know the man who knew the Lizardman. No cryptid, just a southern vegetable grower in a New York-bought costume protecting his crop from thieves.
Are lizardmen reported to have claws, tails, pointed snouts, switchblade toe claws, etc.
