Bunnyman Bridge

When I first contemplated making this post, I wondered, "Is this UE'ing, or ghosthunting?" I gave myself the benfit of the doubt and decided to make the post anyway.

Bunnyman bridge has become a local legend in the Northern Virginia area. It was even featured on one of those "World's scariest places" shows. Basically, the story goes like this:

In the early 20th century, there was an insane asylum for convicts in Clifton Virginia. It was during a routin prisoner transport that one of the passenger cars was struck by a train (W&OD, maybe). Some of the inmates were killed, others were injured, few were freed.
After several days, local authorites rounded up all of the freed inmates except for two. It was assumed that the two escapees had died of wounds somewhere in the wilderness, and thus the search was called off.
Soon there came the discoveries of hundreds of gutted rabbit carcasses in the area. After these findings, the local authorites renewed their search. It was then they made their first brutally murdered victim, the second escapee. He had been gutted and hung from the bridge. Now, the only remaining inmate on the run was Douglas J. Grifon, more popularly known at that point as "The Bunnyman."
When the police finally tracked dwonthe insane murdered, he was lying in a ditch next to the same train track that destroyed the transport car he was in. As the police approached to apprehend him, Grifon jumped in front of an oncoming train and was killed instantly.

There were dozens of murders at the bridge starting from the time of Grifon's death in 1905 until the early 1980's. Most, if not all, of the victims were children or the homeless. They were all killed in the same gruesome way as the original victim. Gutted and hung from the bridge.

During the mid-1980's, it seemed as if "the bunnyman" had dissapeared. There ceased to be any deaths for several years. It was only in the late 1980's that we were once again reminded of the legend.

4 young children who werr just entering their exploring age frequently visited the bridge near to their homes. They often told their parents of a friend in the forest who referred to himself as "The Bunnyman." The naive parents put these warnings aside as mere child's play. It was on november 1 that the four children's bodies were found in the same way as the rest of the victims.


I don't know if it's true or not, and i don't care to find out. It's better if some things are left as legends, I suppose. The bridge is in Clifton, somewhere near popes head road. For more specific location info, you can look it up on google. theres a plethera of websites willing to go on and on about this legend. Hard to beleive someone could write more about it than i just did, isn't it?

Rofl, urban legend.

FCPD did a 11 page report on the true story, it was some old dude who didn't like kids going and making out under the bridge, so he walked up there with an axe and a bunny suit or something like that and scared people off.

Last sighting was he struck some post with an axe next to a police station when they were developing the fairfax station area.

Easiest way to disprove that legend, ask people that have lived here most their lives. Bunnyman stories didn't start coming out till the 80s.
