The Story of the "South Carolina Demon", The South Carolina Demon is a part of North American folklore such as Skinwalkers, Big Foot, Wendigos, Rakes, Mothman and etc. It's unknown when the story of the South Carolina Demon originated, however the first known reference of the demon was in 1869, a slave owner told one of his slaves if he ever escaped the "Demon of South Carolina" will get you. The story of the Demon was told to slaves in South Carolina, and it says that when the slaves escape and enter a forest a old man with a thick germen accent, will show up out of no ware, and will walk up to the slaves and offer them a ride to the United States. Than the demon will show his true form, he rips off his clothes and his giant wings spring out from his back, and he takes the slave or slaves right to hell. After Slavery was banned in the CSA the story was fated away. Until 1999, a group of friends were on a road trip, they were driving in a forest in North East, South Carolina that was where most sightings of the Demon were reported. one of the friends took a picture of the forest to test her new digital camera. And when she looked back at the picture. she saw a figure in the picture. And later after that road trip, she uploaded that picture in online chat rooms. the picture became viral, and some people who know about North American Folklore says that the picture has the South Carolina Demon in it. This was a very controversial picture, many people accused her of photoshopping the picture or one of her friends dressed up to look creepy and they took the picture. She denied the allegations, she also claimed that she did not see the figure when she took the photo. People asked her why she took the picture in the first place, she said that she took the picture to test out her brand new digital camera. After that the story of the Demon was forgotten about, until May 1, 2020 when a person who was in a gas station in a forest in North East, South Carolina, pulled out his phone to take a picture of a very ugly creature with wings. He later uploaded the picture on Twitter. The man claims he was going back in his truck after refilling it with gas and right about he was to go back in his truck he saw a massive figure standing. Around 100-150 feet away from him it had massive wings. He took the photo of the thing and jumped in to his truck and drove away in fear. Many people think it's the South Carolina Demon back at it again, The Demon became popular again for two reasons, reason one, 2020 was considered a very bad year so many people just speculate that the demon was making a come back and to create terror in the state. Reason two was because at the time Trevor Henderson's Siren Head was very popular, so the internet at the time had a interest in monsters. many people point out the wing span of the demon, being around 30-40 feet. How ever many people point out that the creature only has 2 legs wile it was reported that the demon had 4 legs when he was at his true form. Lots of people said that this picture was most likely taken when the demon was transforming him self into his true form getting prepared to attack. And many people told the uploader that he made a smart choice leaving the gas station as soon as possible.
