AILSA CHANG, HOST: Good morning. I'm Ailsa Chang. Things can sometimes get freaky during a solar eclipse. But paranormal? South Carolina's Emergency Management Division is urging its residents to watch out for Lizardmen while carefully observing the moon-blocked sun. They cite media reports of paranormal activity that could be tied with the eclipse. And while this alert might be like NASA's tongue-in-cheek Sunsquatch map, the division says it will neither confirm nor deny the Lizardmen's existence. It's MORNING EDITION.
In what was likely a joke, South Carolina officials sent a tweet warning residents to watch out for "Lizardmen" during the eclipse. The Lizard Man is a mythical creature like Bigfoot.
