The "Third Eye Man" was first spotted on November 12, 1949, on the campus of the University of South Carolina. According to school records, a strange man dressed in bright silver was sighted opening "a manhole cover on the corner of Sumter and Green Streets, directly opposite of the historic Longstreet Theatre." At 10:43 p.m., two male students watched as this man entered the sewer portal, and diligently pulled the manhole cover into its proper position. One of the students, Christopher Nichols (class of 1953), wrote for the Gamecock and immediately spread the news of this "Sewer man" -- as he was called in the article. After a few weeks, any interest in the "sewer man" died down.
