Bunny Man Bridge feat. Declassified Dave

0:03 Hey guys. This is Drew Schmidt from the random anything and you're listening to the infinity Rabbit Hole. Yeah. I've been listening to you guys for a while. Now I got exposed you guys from Asher's from Wednesday. We talk weird. Keep up the great work, love it. Funny, man. Hmm, has a sort of strange sound to it. I remember reading about the legend of the bunnyman bridge for the first time, in a book, called spooky, Virginia by SC Schlosser.

0:45 When I first saw the title of the legend, I have course jumped to the conclusion that this was going to be another story involving a local Cryptid creature that mended the likeness of a human and a rabbit sort of like goat. In Bigfoot Lizard, Man, and many others. Oh, man. But I was wrong. This was no story about upright-walking Chimera, rather it was a story, like many others told throughout small towns Across America that Doug its claws into the locals and burned through the stories passed down through generations. The American urban legend is a wonderful thing. Most places from small towns to big cities, have their own version of a man who went mad and killed an entire room.

1:28 Of people or the ghosts with dog travels an old forgotten Road for all of eternity, still attempting to save its Fallen owner, who have perished over a century ago. You'd be surprised what your own small town has to offer. Mine growing up in Middletown, Connecticut, was that the haunted basement deathbed slabs of Connecticut Valley Hospital in which we would get together and tell a fantastic story about someone? We know who knew someone who knew someone, who died in the Smith after being tortured. By a ghost of a long gone patient. Every time story got told the story got stranger tonight and travel to Clifton Virginia in Fairfax County, where one of these good old urban legends has taken on a whole different life of its own a legend that stretches far past the border of Clifton and into neighboring, Washington DC.

2:20 And the state of Maryland where a man is said to haunt the Colchester overpass, that houses a stretch of the Southern Railway and the No, that is built below. It, we're on any given night. Someone may encounter a sick and twisted individual known, only as the money man. Welcome back to infant rattle. Welcome back to the infant rabbit. All everybody, I am your host Jeremy. Happy Halloween everybody.

3:03 You see that us here in the infinite Rabbit Hole are. Yes we all look great. Only Halloweeny Halloweeny. Fantastic. The ask me, festive, festive. That's the word I was looking for. We're all festive here. So before we get going, let's just do the normal whatever, right? So we're going to start with our guest today. Classified Day from the hush-hush society conspiracy our podcast. What's up, man? How you doing, dude? Chilling. Everything's groovy. As you can tell hashtag pieces.

3:43 Not much just hanging out in the month of October here in, not brisk. Wisconsin, but Southern California. Yeah Ruff, yeah, yeah. Well, gas prices are pretty rough, we don't get into that but yeah ruff ruff. So it's all about the costume man. Will brought you to the hippie. I think I mentioned it before we started recording. My mom's husband and I don't get along too well. He calls me a hippie all the time. So I just decided, you know, you embraced it. Yeah, I don't need a wig, you know, it's here. It is what it is. It was either this or I was just going to be some dude, wearing a bunch of ice with braids and grills. all right, you told me to get a costume and Yeah.

4:38 I was like, yeah. You come on. We gotta get a dress up, man. This is the Halloween special. We we go hard in the infinite Rabbit Hole. You can see well look like thugs. We're scary rawr. It's I saw Jake anywhere even during the day walking around like that outside of a house, be pretty frightening. So, speaking of Jake Jake how you doing man? Doing well. I'm people can't see because the earlier, you know, chat up. We're trying to do didn't work out, but I'm actually in Jeremy's house right now because I'm going in for a job interview later this week. But yeah, happy to be here.

5:21 Yeah, you would have my other costume was way scarier, but I was told legally, I can't wear it anymore. It was like a cat costume and I go up to doors on Halloween. I would be like, mmm, kitty wants some candy and they'd be like, all right police. So So for this one, you know, well good good. Yeah. Anyways moving on Jeffrey. How are you? I'm good, man. How are you doing? Good. Tell us the tell us. Why did you fall on what you did? Well, I've always wanted, you know, a Guy Fawkes mask and I just never bought one. And then I was like, oh I need to get a costume for this episode and I was last minute because that's how I do everything in my life.

6:11 Yeah. And you know, I went on Amazon and looked at masks and I saw this and it was like 12 or 15 bucks or something for four of Them so and they were next day so I was like, yeah! Boom! There we go! Nice, dude! Nice! I just I can't tell your emotions. That's the point, right? Yeah. Well, I think you're handsome. Thank you. And last but not least, the one who probably put the most effort into her costume. Ken's our kid. Hi The Jackal. Yep. I thought it was appropriate to be the mascot. So here I am.

6:54 I'm a Jackalope fair enough. Well, we kind of look Samesies. I mean, look at us. Kinda kind of this kind of the say. Yeah, I just don't. Yeah, I'm cuter. I got, I got the cutest slippers though. I'll give you that much. Did my research, and I got myself a glass of whiskey because jackalopes are assholes and they like their whiskey. So, are you gonna be asshole today? So I'm probably not. Because I'm Canadian still got. It got to remember that part but I'll try well. And then I fell on my costume because I'm lazy.

7:36 So, I went with something quick and easy, so I'm Ralphie from Christmas story in the bunny suit because we're doing buddy, man, Bridge, not because of the infinite right at all. It just happens to work out that way. But I am a bunny man. Yeah, nice. Whiskey sounds really good. So when your next bit when you start, I'm actually going to step away to get myself some whatever man, whatever. All right. We ready to roll guys. I'm just capture. All right, let's jump into buddy, man, Bridge. Caution before we dive into the story of bunny, man, and the bunny man bridge, I want to remind everyone that an urban legend is very difficult to gather the entire story, a game of telephone lasting Generations, often causes the the true and or original story to be long forgotten.

8:28 And what you hear today may be completely different than what you have come to know yourself, but I do assure you that I have searched high and low for all things related to this Twisted story and in that process This, I have found a way to include most of everything in today's presentation, but if you have more info to add, please do so by heading on over to the video for this episode on the Paranormal networks, YouTube channel and leave a comment adding to my presentation. I cannot wait to see what everyone else may know. Now, without further Ado, I present our first encounter of the bunny man on the cold night of October 17th, 1970 and Air Force, Cadet named Bob Bennett and his fiancee, which one of my sources. Had her name is Dusty, and the rest left her nameless, were quote, unquote, talking after they had pulled off to the side of Guinea Road and Burke Virginia. As they were talking, the glass from the passenger side window, cracked into a million tiny chunks. Just inches away from his fiancee's head embedded in, the splintered glass Bobby's.

9:32 He recognized the blade of a hatchet with a distorted image of a man in what appeared to be a large, dirty white. Robe with bunny ears, standing a few feet behind the shattered window. The man pulled the hatchet back out and swing again causing the window to completely shatter. With the hatchet landing on the passenger side floor board as the man took his second swing. Bob started the car back up and moments after the second impact. Bob floored the gas pedal and sped away as fast as he could both Bob and his On say reported at the man yelled at them. Quote you're on my private property and I have your tag number That same night both Bob and his fiancee showed up at the local police station and filed a report of the incident, their accounts of the event were nearly the same. But for one detail, Bob, claimed that the man had bunny ears on top of his head, and his fiance believe that the man was instead wearing a long pointed Hood with the face, cut out. Both victim, saw the attackers face but neither could point the man out or recognize them nine days after Bob and his fiancee. During counter with a hatchet wielding bad man in a white robe.

10:42 Another encounter involving a security guard named Paul Phillips would unfold during Paul's nightly security routine of the construction site and Kings Park West off of Guinea, Road. He witnessed a man standing on an unfinished porch. The man was wearing a gray black and white bunny suit, and was wielding a large acts. As the two men's eyes met the man in the bunny suit began swinging his axe into the posts on the unfinished. Just porch while yelling quote, all you people trust pass around here. If you don't get out of here I'm going to bust you in the head. Paul quickly drove away for a safe distance before calling for backup. But by the time Paul and his reinforcements returned, the axe swinging man was gone. And yes, there is a report on record with the Fairfax County Police office of this event as well as round. Another 50 similar cases of run-ins with a crazed, man. Wearing a bunny suit from the fall. 1970 in the report. Paul Phillips described the man.

11:43 As in his early 20s about five foot eight and 175 pounds. The legend of the bunny man began to run wild wood for articles, running in the nationally famous newspaper, The Washington Post from October 22nd to November 6th of the same year with titles such as man and bunny suit sought and Fairfax the rabbit reappears Bunny Man scene. And Bunny reports are multiplying. So, welcome to Fairfax County, everybody. We guys think of the first two Encounters of the money, man. I be freaked out, especially in the 60s. I mean, people freaked out that's in.

12:24 This was 60s, so people would freak out now. I mean, we have the whole clown thing that happened. Yeah, about that. I want to, I want to go back real quick. You said something about one of the hospitals and Connecticut. Yeah, have you ever been to Fairfield Hills? Is that where the hangdog is Newtown? I don't know if that's if that's the same spot but broke into their once when I was a young lad and went into the basement and they ended up being not storage, not basement nothing. They were the lobotomy rooms of that hospital for a while and that was pretty freaky.

13:11 So never again, same thing with Connecticut, Valley Hospital. The same situation I may or may not have broken in Ian terminate myself. I may or may not, I don't know. I don't remember so, allegedly. Allegedly, yeah. So back onto the bunny, man. So, there's not too much here, right? This just sounds like a crazed dude. Just swinging axes at people now to kind of bring up Why are we doing the bunny ma'am? Well, I put a poll up on Facebook a little while ago asking everybody what they wanted us to do for for Halloween. And I put some general topics out there and everyone wanted to urban legend, beat out Cryptids.

14:01 I believe came in second place by a pretty good margin. So seeing how the bunny man actually takes place right around Halloween. I felt like this was a good one to jump into I voted for urban legend. I believe. Did you that survey? Yeah. So did I remember what I voted for? My wife is, what do you want me to vote for? I was like, Cryptid. She's like, oh, and voted twice once for myself and once for my husband because he doesn't have Facebook or anything like that. The votes are rigged. Lucky pick, but you pick something completely different than I did. So this is what everyone gets. They get the bunny man cause y'all Wanted an urban legend. I mean, I agree with what Dave was saying that the first thing I thought of was that killer clown thing that we had a couple years back.

14:54 And I mean there's nothing new Under the Sun. I mean, I'm so far. I'm digging the story and there's no reason to say that. Gah this is made up, like, I totally could see someone doing this crap like that, you know. Yeah, absolutely. All right. I personally thought this was going to be something more along the lines of like, A dog man type situation. We're just seeing a creature that's terrorizing people and they're going crazy because of it. But no, no, no, no. This is actually somebody swinging an axe of people dressed dressed as a giant bunny. So you know, to boot so like sounds like what the Easter Bunny terrified me as a kid goodness. These days everyone's talking about Dahmer. So I mean, you're going to have to really step it up with this, this bunnyman characters because so far, he's super Wild It's the saying pretty pretty normal to the par mean in California. You could definitely have somebody coming up with YouTube bunny costume.

15:54 Right now today with a hatchet and bust out your window at a red light. You know, it's entirely possible on any given day here at this point. So night was it October 1970? That would be really scary. Now you're like let's just another day in LA. A man like taking a dump on the hood of my car. Very nice desensitization. Well I'll hit the car wash later for $18 with my $7.80. Sounds like a great place to look at from Wisconsin. Yeah.

16:42 Jeffrey anything Nothing. I missed the first one, but the second. I mean, I just sounds like a crazy sounds like a crazy man in a suit, not very smart. If you're here in Florida, bad bad idea. But hey, did you get your whiskey? No, I literally was about to pour it into the glass and I was like, you know, let me get a nice beer instead so that's what I did and I'm repping my buddy's gonna go for a beer, but jackalopes don't drink beer. So all right, well, let's move on. Let's see if the story gets any crazier. Like most urban legends, the story of the bunny man has an origin.

17:29 That is commonly believed. The Story Goes that 1904 a bus of inmates from a nearby insane. Asylum in Clifton Virginia was were in a bus being transferred to Lorton prison. When the bus suffered a deadly accident, killing the driver and many of the inmate passengers out of all of the men who were involved in the incident only 10 survived. And out of the ten who survived An escape. The crash to evaded recapture, Douglas J Griffin and Marcus Woll. Stir were the names of the two men while the inmate spent their time in the surrounding Forest evading recaptured. The residents of the area began to find skinned and partially eaten rabbits hanging from the trees, along the railroad tracks.

18:15 Near Colchester overpass due to the concern from the locals. There was a massive search conducted in order to end the horror that Locals were forced to live through. And during the search the mutilated body of Marcus Woll, stir one of the escaped inmates was found in a very similar fashion, to the rabbits, Walter was skinned, and hung from a tree along the train tracks leaving. Only one person as the cause for all the mutilated bodies in the area, Douglas Griffin was originally locked away from murdering his entire family on an Easter Sunday as the search closed in on Griffin, please. This officers participating in the search claim to hear a maniacal laugh coming from the area of the train tracks ahead. As Griffin came into view, he was spotted running and laughing.

19:05 As he jumped in front of an oncoming train killing himself, instantly the corpses of hundreds of rabbits in the Town of Clifton. In Fairfax County, Virginia seem to be focused around, not only the railway system town, but specifically the tunnel under Colchester overpass. This overpass is now famously. No, as bunnyman bridge and has become very famous destination for paranormal investigators from around the world. The legend of Douglas Griffin now, famously known as The Bunny Man didn't die on that evening of 1907. The bunny man is still commonly blamed as the cause for missing animals and children in the area. So, what you guys think about?

19:45 Douglas Griffin? I personally immediately latched on to the part about the bus said something about a bus. I did and bunch of people died, blah, blah, blah. It reminded me of the movie trick or treat. The other seen it, there's it's one of those weird far movies. It's got like three different storylines that all tie together into one story line but one of those storylines was of a bus with a bunch of kids on it that ended up going over a cliff and everybody died. Except for like one kid and they went missing and Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen the movie, but that's what that reminded me of.

20:34 When you said that was bus. Tragic accident, a bunch of people died. I just saw the trick-or-treat scene in my head and I was like, it makes me wonder if that's what that's based off of. Did the surviving kid, hang up dead bunny, rabbits, throughout the woods. I can't remember. All I can tell you about that guy is his name was Sam. Oh yeah. Douglas name is Douglas. Yeah. It's not, it's not the same character so that's either way. That's what it reminded me. Me of and I'm curious if that's what it's based off of. Or if there is some sort of connection there, I've no I'd no idea.

21:14 I did not know. That's what went through my head either way. Interesting, for sure. My first question was, well, these guys are prisoners. They must have been, they must have been really good like seamstress, like they must be really good with with the needle and thread because they made a bunny costume out of nothing in the woods. If they survive, they have all that they ran out to the woods and like, haha. And then the second thing that came to my mind was, if you've seen Dahmer, don't want to be a spoiler alert. This dude played with roadkill and dead animals so and then you take I don't know the lore behind it. But you know like Gangs of New York where you have the guys who hang the rabbits on. On a stick.

21:56 And then, you know, before they fight and stuff, there could be some human element to it. I was trying to look it up while you were talking about that to see if I can make a correlation, but confined anything. It was just like, why are bunnies hanging out in my backyard so Google sucks. Yeah, I am with that to man. I always say stuff like that on the show that there's got to be some kind of meaning behind the bunnies, right, or whatever it is. But yeah, I do wonder if there's some ancient lore, some something that goes back that you could be like, oh, this means this, this is symbolic of this. You know what I mean? Nope, okay, fair enough. Just a psychopath. Yeah, I mean, we'll dive into a little bit more. I mean, I really take the top off of this one. I'll do anybody's gonna look at this. Legend, the same after I am done with the night, but Jake, what do you think, man?

22:50 Just can you hear me right now? Yeah. Okay I was made it now. I think that maybe it was just I mean there's a crap ton of dang bunnies out there so maybe it was just a lot of stuff, the scare factor of just skinning them and hanging them up everywhere. I mean, that would freak out anyone. It could be, you know, you could use Stray Cats, depending on where you're at, but in that area, I mean, there are tremendous amount of like, wild rabbits and stuff. So I would be totally If you're going to freak someone out to just do it that way. I was also trying to look into the area to see if it was like a big hunting area and apparently, back in that day it was it was on be hunting and trapping place. And I'm wondering that when when people came into the woods and saw rabbits hanging up, maybe they were just seeing Hunter snares and were you know kind of just they took it as you know, this is this urban legend but really it was just a hunter with a snares mean.

23:48 Who knows? I mean, but they wouldn't be skinned. No, that's true. But I mean, who knows what was eating them and how long they were out there? So I mean yeah I suppose so it's just a, just an idea. All right guys, you ready to move on? Alrighty, get into some alternate info, like with many urban legends, there are multiple different accounts and details that get mixed together and give a slightly different Worried during my research I found a lot of these differences. Some of this was as little as what the axe wielding man said during his assault on the supports of the front, porch of An Unfinished home to the actual story being from a town in Oregon instead of Virginia in a book, titled funny man by Mob Sky. There is mentioned that Marcus wohlers body was found holding an axe, which caused the mob to dismantle due to thinking that they had found the remains of the A rabbit murderer, but over the next couple days, the killings continued with which sparked a second search, another difference in their telling of a story is that Griffin was chased across town before jumping in front of a train by Fairfax Station bridge, in a book titled.

25:04 Urban legends. Bizarre Tales. You won't believe by James proud the author claims that the story of bunnyman bridge takes place on a remote Road in Oregon. He claims that the bus crashed due to a prisoner escaping his shackles. And attacking the bus driver. Also, in his recollection of the story, the man who escaped the crash, the men who escaped the crash were named Michael Wood and Billy Smith. The search found, Michael Wood, AKA markers Waller hanging inside of the tunnel under bunnyman bridge with his ears removed. This second account, are this account of the story is so different, that it's hard to believe that it is even referring to the same urban legend, but after searching are researching for anything, Else close to the same from Oregon.

25:50 I was able to come up with nothing that proved that. It was a different story altogether in Denver Michaels is book. Haunted Shannon Doha Valley Denver visits this Legend, briefly at the end of chapter 18 in his telling he helps make the connection between events in 1907 and 1970. The reason why people believe that the money, the bunny man was in fact, responsible for the axe swinging Maniac, spotted multiple. Times throughout the fall of 1970 was because it is believed that the ghost of Griffin still haunts. The woods in the area in multiple sources, is a murder of two teenagers, whose mutilated bodies were found near. Bunnyman Bridge has been openly blamed on the spirit of the bunnyman northern Virginia, mag.com states.

26:38 That Paul Phillips, the security guard, who encountered a crazed, man in a bunny suit hacking way to support posts of An Unfinished front porch. Went to his car to get a gun. Instead of retreating to gather back up. So like we see in a lot of urban legends, there is a lot of alternate information. Do any of you guys know anything about bunnyman and have any alternate info on the general or specific story? No. But I do want to point out the story that I was talking about a second ago. of the the bus and the kids hmm.

27:22 By the sounds of it, it was totally just a made-up story for the means of the movie, but this one was according to this. It was an event that occurred in the 1970s. It was eight disabled children with a bus driver who hated their lives. So they drove into a lake and killed everybody. The toxic person right? She's on Halloween. Everybody was dressed up. It's the 70s. So they got super terrifying costumes on and they're riding the short bus and yep. Wow, it's terrifying. Actually right on, just wanted to throw that out there. So no offense related at all but there you go. People who are listening right now. Maybe seeing that there's a little bit different, little bit of a difference to this type of episode, right? Something that urban legends just really don't have. Is talking points, right?

28:20 We can't sit here when we kids here and be like, is it true? Or is it not true? But a lot of urban legends are localized and they're not very widespread. We did another urban legend, actually we did. It was Declassified. Dave, we did the black-eyed kids, which is more of a worldwide phenomenon. That is part of urban legend, part paranormal entity, and that one's much easier to About and have a discussion about because of how widespread it is when you're talking about a very localized area, unless you're talking to a local, it's pretty tough. But what do you guys think about bunnyman so far? What about some of this alternate information? Black-eyed children is almost two years ago just like I know. Yeah, that was those almost two years ago. And that usually goes hand in hand, with men in black stuff. You know, that's usually kind of just a lot of parallels with that.

29:18 But buddy, man, thing, especially if you said the ghost thing, I kind of like kind of just took a step back and was like that person's On acid. It's 19 1970. Whatever. Like they're they're they're seeing they're seeing something. One thing that really comes to mind with the bunny man thing and I don't know. You probably have more stories that probably go different Avenues one. We have some crazy guy, yielding an axe. When we have another story of a bus of, you know, inmates and two, getting loose and being amazing costume, makers and making bunny suits, and just going nuts. And now you have a ghost Re a lot of this comes to mind with me was like Donnie, Darko where you have like one person that might be seeing something like, this is one person's account but seeing Frank, no in the bunny suit. That's what I was trying to find was a Frank costume. This thing's trying to find a real mask for that. So, but but that's the one thing I think about was like, man, everybody has like a different experience with this. Yeah, so far too kind of clear that up a little bit, right? So the the bus thing happened in 07, okay. And the story from the people making out on the side of the road, or I'm sorry talking on the side of the road and the the security guard was from 1970.

30:45 So, the theory is, is that the ghost is actually the spirit of the inmate who died, who killed all the rabbits and then, 63 years later, he's back as a spirit, wearing a bunny suit. Sounds kind of demonic. It's weird, weird creepy, weird would like some I have a question. Yeah, what's up? Is this the only case with ears removed what's with the ears? So that, like I said, that's alternate information. There are some some reports some stories that I read where the ears removed was a big thing.

31:31 There was some some reports where the bunnies all have their ears removed. It's your finisher something. They are like, when you, when you bite into a chocolate bunny on on Eastern, you only bite the ears off you go for the ear because it's the law you have to or else you'll go to jail, everyone knows that? Yeah, sorry. I asked sorry about that. A sorry I'm eating yeah feet first. So you tell first tail first First the cat, eat the ass. Dave's eaten bunny ass over man.

32:15 That I had another 46 years is not is not something you want to do anywhere, anytime gets we get some of that chocolate bunny, but oh, but there are never getting rid of those 10 years missing though. Right? I do now that's it. That's, that's all. Yeah. I believe we're going to start getting a little bit more in. Oh, we do talk about other reports first and then I believe we start getting into the history and everything. We start uncovering some of the Mysteries here. All right, guys, ready to roll on yours? Here's more stars for the ride. I'm with Ken's are like, I thought this was like a Sheepsquatch type thing before. So I mean that's what I said in my intro. You know, when when I really got into this stuff, probably 57 years ago.

33:05 Now, when I, when I came across the bunny man from Knock. That's what I originally thought because the chapter was just titled bunnyman in that book. And I was like, okay. So here's a Cryptid story, right? Which was held in a most Cryptids, dog, right? And like that, that was my first connection dog, man. Okay, we see this dog humanoid type thing. We're seeing a giant buddy humanoid. No, imagine all the people that are pissed that they're listening to this and I'm like, I thought this was a fucking creature. All right, other reports. Northern Virginia mag.com, published an awesome article on the subject of bunnyman titled long live, the bunnyman in October of 2015. In this article, I had a chance to read quote, unquote, point of view.

33:57 Reports from locals who live through the time of the ax-wielding maniac. The first of such reports tells the story of a man named Jim Waters. It guitarist, who is so influenced by the legend that he went on to co-composed a rock opera called, legend of the Bunny, man, this two and a half hour show tells the story of The Legend of the bunny man, from the perspective of the bunny man himself and took a total of 18 months to write Waters. Told the author of the article that when he was 11 years old, the story of the crazed man, wearing a bunny suit spread fast and far around the area. The route to school that he would ride. His bike on went straight through Guinea Road, and he remembers being absolutely terrified to go to school every day.

34:43 It is his Painting. The someone who was really Disturbed was, very upset that the woods around the area were being torn down for a housing in another source. I found there was a mention of how the population of the area suddenly enlarged, at the end of the 60s and in the beginning of the 70s and many locals were not happy about all of the new neighbors. They were getting and what seemed to be a daily basis. So what do you guys think about the idea that this crazed axe-wielding dressed up Bunny Man costume guys just pissed that so many people are moving in to this property. I mean I don't like my neighbors but that doesn't mean I'm going about to go on a killing spree.

35:29 Do you can't talk for the money man. I can't think of a better reason to If you're more into not liking your neighbors, you probably consider it dropped interact with them. That's why it's okay. These motherfuckers are just going to have to meet the bunny man, then I guess I'm gonna get a better system now. So my neighbors can meet me. It's so weird here. Like, I live in a building with 17 other people and like two of us. Say hi. Not even a lot of people and people are just like, oh no. I can't look at you. Yeah, it's here too.

36:10 Maybe he's just trying to keep the property values low so that he doesn't have to pay more and right, cubby. Crime. Keep crime around your house too. Yeah. Just scared to show everybody. Yeah. I mean you know it's like going out in your front lawn and just firing off a couple shots and just being like I just can't value down low. Yeah during the shelling, this is a bath. This is a meth friendly household. Honey, we gotta get out of here. All right, let's move on unmask in the local History Section of Fairfax County government, websites, Fairfax County, dot-gov, a local historian with a Fairfax Public Library.

37:01 By the name of Brian, a Conley published the most thorough article to date about the legend of the bunnyman titled, the bunnyman on, mast. In this article, Conley puts on the boxing gloves and calls. Another very well-known article that highlights It's a timeline of events since the beginning called the Clifton bunnyman archived on the castle of spirits website which is famously known as one of the world's largest collection of Ghost Stories. The castle is Spirits article. Highlights the most well-known backstory of the bunny, man, that many including myself for this article use for the basis of the retailing and Connolly.

37:41 Immediately, pokes holes Wide Open, The Legend as he details that there was never an In asylum, in Fairfax County and that Larson prison the prison, the buses transporting inmates to did not come into existence until 1910. Six years after the story takes place, and even then, it was a part of Washington, d.c. system of Corrections and not Fairfax County's another issue. He found with the original story is that neither Griffin or wall stir appeared in the court record of Fairfax County mr. Connelly emits, at during The very early research, the Bunny Man legend, he was ready to close the door on this story and call it all false.

38:23 Using a complex index that took 10 years to build from Virginia. Historical volunteers, Malcolm Richardson, and Barbara Welsh Connolly was easily able to research all instances of murder, in Fairfax County between a Years Of 1872 and 1973 Conley was able to come down to three particular cases that left him still clinging to the idea. That there might actually be something to the Bunny Man, legend. Francis Hall. Over was 37 years old when she and her eight month old June were brutally murdered on February 24th, 1949 while they were traveling with their estranged. Husband, Charles from a nudist colony, in Fairfax County. The car became lodged in mud on a remote Road, Francis. And her husband argued after the incident, and she would leave the car with the child and never be seen. I've again, Charles slept in the car that night and hitchhiked home to DC, where he believed he would find his wife and daughter, waiting for him to his surprise. They were not there and when he drove back to the car trapped in the mud with his brother-in-law, they were both shocked that Francis and June were still nowhere to be found at this point Charles and his brother-in-law, notified the police and a search involving Fairfax County officers Washington detectives in a local Boy Scout. Troop was organized eventually

39:55 the search headed to the Colony. Just 200 yards away from where the car was stuck and the shallow grave for both mother and daughter was discovered just a few feet away from the cottage that the family stayed in the night before the argument Francis was beaten and shot once in the head. And once in the heart, as for eight-month-old, baby June, she was found clutching to her mother and succumb to Suffocation from being buried alive. Charles was named the prime suspect in the murder of Francis and June Oliver. And later would confess to the murders on January, 29th and 1950. Charles Haulover was sentenced to death by electric chair for murder of his wife and daughter. The second time in history that someone would be Since the death in Fairfax County haulers attorney would file an appeal to claim that Charles was clearly insane. And without piss proper properly established during the trials time in court, it was impossible for Charles to be given a fair trial.

40:54 Eventually the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals would overturn the conviction and a new trial was ordered in response this second trial led to Charles Holabird being committed to the Western State Mental Hospital in Marion. Virginia, where Charles would be a fish Lee diagnosed as an insane person could Charles Hall a case be the real origin fertile, Legends own character, Douglas Griffin. So what do you guys think about that? Could the story of Of this man who murdered his wife and daughter. Now, you got to think of the the parallels here, right? The parallels between polymer, Charles Hollow Burr and Grifton were that they both murdered their entire family, right? Do you think that this because of the the location and the similarities to the origins?

41:56 Into. This could have been the real birth of the legend of the bunny, man. I mean, it's possible but then again, there's a lot of people that murder their families. Unfortunately. I mean, shoot Whitney was just telling me about some some couple from where she grew up like last week killed there, like dad and mom killed all their kids and stuff. So, I mean, it happens all the time, unfortunately, so yeah, I mean it could but then again, it could just be the location is similar. You know? Who knows the sort of issues that are out there? Especially in the time frame. I mean I have no idea but I mean it's possible, Right? I think so.

42:40 I think it's very possible. What'd you guys think anything? Yeah. Same. I mean, who knows where this originated, right? Like, pick your serial killer in the area. Hey buddy, bear with us while we take this quick break. But yeah, I fucked up. I don't know. I was listening to you talk and I'm like wait haven't you told this story already and yeah just it all sounded the same to me and I was really confused at first and then he explained everything at the end there but I got your back.

43:23 Yeah I think it's one coincidental. Yeah. Just to two crazies in the same vicinity. I get you. All right, so you guys ready to move on here a little bit more diving further. Furthermore, the article on the Clifton Bunny man, on the castle of spirits website by Charles Forbes features, 32 victims of the bunny man with a supposed Supernatural element, but going back to 1980s in Archive of newspaper articles throughout the Fairfax County area and stretching as far as areas of Maryland. Brian Conley was only able to uncover. Three separate stories in which Super Natural effect seem to have possibly taken place, but we're also easily debunked Kabul, with normal means, none of, which were represented in the castle of spirits article. This famous article seemed to be just another form of fiction surrounding an urban legend built off, Fantastical stories passed down in a never-ending game of telephone or was it in Bryon.

44:26 Connolly's are all type article titled bunnyman Unmasked A Washington Post article published on November 11, 2008 highlighting a collection of urban legends and stories throughout the area compiled by three. Maryland, major universities child in Maryland. Folklore archive. This archive featured, legends from the state of Maryland and the surrounding areas from 1950s through 1990 students from these universities collected, transcribed and researched. All of these urban legends in a collective effort to adequately document the vast history. Maryland, folklore and legends out of these stories, one specific piece stuck out. As important in the research of the bunny man in 1973 a student. At the University of Maryland, by the name of Patricia Johnson, submitted a paper to the archive, simply titled the bunnyman as your contribution for a class titled introduction to Folklore English. 460 at the University of Maryland. For this article, She interviewed 33 students from Prince, George Prince George's, County, Maryland. And with ages ranging from 15 to 18 in her research. She found a very a few, very interesting bits of information about the legend of the funny man 54 diff are 154 different versions of the story were told to her by 33 students that She interviewed this was important because multiple students told multiple different stories about what the legend consisted of the stories.

45:53 All took place in 14 different locations and three multiple different MOS were included, including eight where He was chasing or scarring, scaring his victims, mostly children. Sometimes with an x 14 attacks on people in cars 90, which were parked five attacks on houses or buildings and only three murders at the end of Patricia Johnson. The article, she had also come to the conclusion that the bunny man did. In fact, not exist, due to the abundance of variations in the story within such a localized sample. So that brings up a great question. If you have a story such as a of urban legends or in, you know, start by the United States. But you have a lot of differences within the the stories, a lot of variety.

46:40 Does that kind of take you out of the realm of this could be real? I've got one. One thing that I was thinking about when you were doing this. So we keep bringing up Supernatural stuff. A lot of the Cryptids that we talked about don't aren't really associated with murdering people, you know. That's one thing that we don't see. One thing I found really The odd and I might have nothing to do with it. I was just looking and Mothman is not too far away. It's like 350 miles west or so but almost exactly do West Point Pleasant West Virginia, it's north-south degrees is 38.6, and Fairfax county is 38.9.

47:27 It would be cool if you're talking about supernatural, weird entities that you're seeing in the woods or what people might be perceiving as seeing. I mean, who's to say that the guys that killed their families, might not have. Maybe maybe it's like a Frank situation. You know, I saw a bunny and I decided to kill my family and some but I just found that saying I wanted to just look that up. But I found that kind of weird that they're both about at 39 degrees. North All right, so in summary you think that there's a possibility that Mothman could be taking it's Halloween vacation to Fairfax County and decorating pine trees with dead rabbits. I mean one ones on the one areas Loosely on the west side of the Appalachian range lands right on the east side.

48:12 So I like the tie in man, good stuff. Yeah, it's tough thought about it superhero. Remember your, for those of you that have been with us for a little while, this is actually the same area, well, roughly the same. Yeah, as the snallygaster now it is the snallygaster is a little bit east. Mothman is a little bit West and Jersey Devils a little bit north, but right there, dead center of all of that is, Fairfax County, Virginia. Yeah, pretty cool stuff, man. The Death Watch. I'm what time frame did this start again. Which one? Like when did when did The Legend start 1970? That was like when the legend really To kick off and you started getting these stories from 1904 or something along those lines. And now, we're talking about a real case where, what's his face?

49:11 Well, the reason I ask is ever wonder if whoever the schmuck is, is, you know, if he was part of like some of the LSD experiments or something like that, you know, it's 1949 the 40s and that's too early, right? I mean, not necessarily there were some programs happening in the 40s. You know, because the Nazis were doing that shit, you know, and to think that we didn't start doing that kind of stuff until after we took them and Operation Paperclip. That's ridiculous. We we knew what they were doing and we were doing some of the same stuff during the 40s.

49:53 So it's possible that this guy was like some mind control victim that just they'll a loose. And now he's a freaking psychopath. We just released the episode on Manson and After the many handfuls of times that he's been incarcerated a lot of the times we made the ties that he was not an informant with the CIA but definitely was forced to work for the CIA and was administered, some type of psychedelics and drugs which probably led him to brainwash. The people that committed the murders. Well, I've I've heard that he was a victim of MKUltra. Absolutely I've heard that as well. Absolute that too.

50:36 You definitely, I mean, I think he was arrested. He was arrested like 20-something times before he was like, 25, and he was released every single time, which is strange because some of some of the offenses that he has are like like like child molestation and they're like it. Get out geez. You got you. But then, you know, he's also you know, Definitely was on drugs so there's that too. But where did he get those drugs? You know, from the CIA? Yeah, they could have been they could have been brainwashing people. You got to remember to The Point Pleasant parallel to that was what 1967 when the bridge collapsed in the Mothman thing came up.

51:25 So it's only a couple of years, a couple of years, in a couple hours down the road. So yeah, for True man. Good stuff. Jeff. I love how you could turn anything into a Gummer. Merci. But I mean it's what he's best at is no, thank you. What is space real? Debatable when I tell people about my co-hosts, I specifically say Jeff thinks. Everything is fake people. Love it for I speak. I've turned people over to this show and Shadow banned by saying, I know a guy that thinks space is Rockets are all bullshit and they're like, oh really and they go right on over, that's all.

52:18 Jeremy to answer your question. Yes I think that all that variation in The Legend and stuff. Probably adds to this idea that it's all completely fake. But I do believe that most of those urban legend start with some line of Truth and then it kind of blows up off of that. So if the murder happened and then, you know, everyone's running wild with it. You know, I don't know. I want to kind of liken it to like the Bloody Mary thing. You do that crap all the time as a kid.

52:59 Now whether or not it's based off of anything, I have no idea. But I've like anything real but I've heard tons and tons and tons of origin stories as far as like, where the Bloody Mary. You know, saying Bloody Mary in your mirror three times actually originated from and let's It's just say it did come from one thing that happened one time and then you have just this explosion of like all these different Legends and everything like that. So I want to say that it didn't so far all that variation. Stuff didn't distract me from that there may be something at the root of all this but it is interesting that, you know, in just a very short amount of time because I think happening Nine originally happened in 1970 and this is a paper from 1973. So that's not a long time for all this, you know craziness. But then again if we're thinking about like location and how much craziness was actually happening in that location at that time frame, then it would make sense that if this was a normal occurrence of like, say, I live in Oxnard, California, and people would get shot and killed all the time, it's not going to That crazy.

54:16 But if something happens like that and it's not anything that happens on a regular basis, I could see it being blown way out of proportion and being like, just like a game of telephone, it gets weirder, and weirder, and weirder, as the story gets told. And this circumstance, I mean, this is a very weird situation and so, really, I mean, it could go all sorts of different ways and it really doesn't get away from like, how crazy the root is. But still, I think that there is something to it even if All these different variations and stuff. No good stuff. Good to good to go, guys. I don't know if this has anything to do with what I said before but I didn't think about it.

54:58 Everything's on the 38th parallel. Oh, here we go. I don't know, paranormal Highway, bro. I'm looking at. Look at some of the places that are on the 38th parallel. Maryland, Virginia West, Virginia Stockton California. That makes a lot of sense. But submitters, interesting spots, I mean all over the world obviously it's you know no 14. Korea. But North or South actually splits the split skirt. Split splits, splits Korea.

55:44 This is getting me some like murder Vibes more than paranormal. Yeah, Urban yeah. No no. I just feel like people getting how many murders did you say happened over a course of Well, so to be fair, right? It's tough to nail down in. Now, what we had just talked about, we were talking about, what's your name? Trying to look at it, look for it. Patricia Johnson, from the University of Maryland who wrote this, she was specifically talking to the students. Now she got 54 different versions of the story told by 33 students.

56:31 One student was actually telling multiple stories, multiple times, right? So, you get one student came in told two or three versions of it. Another student came in and told one another student came in and told to, you know, it went on like that. And the only, the only actual murders that she can find that could possible our murders that that were told in the stories from these. These kids that She interviewed there only Three of them ended in actual murders, but as for the act like, you know what, the what the the folklore behind him, all this, I think Somewhere In This research I said something around 50. I'm having a look back now.

57:17 So kind of stuttering over my own words here, but want to say it was somewhere in the 50s was in some of the reports. Interesting. Which to me, sounds like this, something actually happened with this bunny man character at some point, and it's just become a game of telephone as the years have gone on and as the story's been retold, and everybody's just adding their own little Snippets of information to be cool. And all that happened to me and all that happened to you. Well, this happened to me sort of thing came a telephone Like Jake said to, with the Bloody Mary thing, didn't a movie. Didn't Candyman rip that off.

58:04 You know, there was the whole thing in the mirror candyman. Candyman candyman. Yeah, get early times. Yeah. Yeah. That's literally Hollywood's adaption of the Bloody Mary. Yeah, urban legend. Yeah. I remember being so scared to play that game. Now, I do it every night before I go to bed. Tomorrow and pay my bills. I mean great I could I could have to go to the store and pay gasps tomorrow so I'd rather, yeah, rather go through that shit. Here, we can T man, bro. Let's do this. All right, let's move on. Real Origins, although it seems that, yes, the story of the bunny man did, in fact come a long way in the telling of the original story, but did the original story even exist? And if so, where did it in fact start so far? We have talked about three possible origins of the legends bunnyman of Fairfax County, Virginia won the 1904 bus crash. That was transporting insane prisoners from one mental institution to another the 19:49 story of Charles hablar that could have been the true origins of the story of Douglas, taker from the man who supposedly survived the previously mentioned bus craft bus bus craft bus, crash or 3D. October 1970, stories of man who attacked people with an axe dressed as a bunny man.

59:36 These three possibilities LED Brian Conley to dig deeper into the possibility that any of these stories were real or at least. Based in reality and in fact, yes, one of them seem to be on the night of October 22nd 1970. There was, in fact, a new station that reported on the supposed attacker, wearing a bunny suit just five days earlier, as I stated before this information was found in official reports with the local police department, but where they the story commonly told, says yes, a commonly found that this is not all true after contacting. I think the Fairfax County Police Department.

1:00:16 He learned that they in fact do not have any records of an October 17th 1970 attack on a young Cadet and his fiance. But on the night of October, 29th 1970, there was an incident that six police officers responded to in the under construction, subdivisions of Kings West Park. Our Kings Park West, which was around the same date in the exact same area that the security officer in one of the original stories. Claimed to have come face-to-face with a man dressed in a bunny suit attacking an unfinished, porch with an axe. And yes, that is what was reiterated in this official report as well.

1:00:57 After the six officers arrived there were no signs of the money man. So the case was turned over to a man by the name of WL Johnson of the criminal investigation Bureau after interviewing all Witnesses of the quote-unquote, White Rabbit, as it was being called at the time Johnson, released this statement, Quote, after a very extensive investigation into this, in all other cases of this same nature, it is still unsubstantiated as to whether or not there is a white rabbit, all the witnesses of this quote-unquote, White Rabbit, we're substantially young children between the ages of 7 and 12 who after interviewing admitted to not seeing the perpetrator themselves.

1:01:38 But rather hearing about it at school or on the Nightly News WL Johnson's case in the white rabbit. Was and is still marked as inactive. So we just learned that yes the the attack on the security guard, while he was checking on the under construction houses. And this particular division, there was a mad man dressed as a bunny. There was an official police report. There was six officers that responded. So the original story of him retreating calling for backup. Coming back is true.

1:02:19 As for the cadet, and his fiance, there is no police report, even though the urban legend clearly does say that they reported their incident to the police station. There is no reports in or around Fairfax County of any of anything like this being recorded. So, out of everything that we heard so far, we have one thing that seems to be correct. And that is that There was a mad man attacking an unfinished porch with an ex dresses, a bunny right around Halloween too. So yeah, that would make don't make a lot of sense, October 29th. So, you know, that's something that is even going to ask. Once you brought that porch back up, I was gonna add, did we go find said porch and see the damage that was created. But if there were six officers involved, I'm sure we saw the damage created.

1:03:16 Yeah, 1970. I mean they probably did take photos but maybe not I don't. Yeah, who knows. That's what I was stuck on. Was where's this damaged port? It's somebody's house who were route was. So funny man, got to find out and just sit outside and be like week we check out your back deck as want to see if this is the money man house, dude. Yeah if I could you imagine like someone showing up and like yeah we'll see listen this is what happened this guy no idea. I bought this house in 1984 man like no idea. Kid stop.

1:04:05 Jeffrey quiet. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm a bit distracted this evening. Oh okay. Is it my suit? Yep. That's part of it. Okay. Good, good good. I love you too buddy. Alright yesod I don't answer questions and put it in here so it's just looked like I was completely blazing it out. Yeah. Maybe maybe it would have maybe would have permeated through the camera. Got you. All right, let's move on.

1:04:48 So, with all that being said, there is what I believe to be the true story. The money man, on the evening of October, 22nd 1970, a local news station in Fairfax County, Virginia reported on an article of satire in lieu, of the upcoming Halloween celebrations, whether or not the new station reported on it as a way to expand the spirit of the holiday. Or, if they took a seriously, many children. Witness this report as they were sitting down to eat with their families in the evening. Part of my theory is concluded directly from Brian Conley, Patricia Johnson and WL Johnson's reports on their interviews, and investigations. Indicating that an extremely high majority of participants or quote.

1:05:31 Unquote Witnesses, were between the ages of 7 and 18 from these events word spread quickly at school. And the origins of the bunnyman were created in the schools of Fairfax County, and the surrounding areas. The backstory of the train was most likely born as a clever way by one or a few. Visuals as an origin story of the Paranormal side of bunnyman a paranormal side that sadly has no evidence of being true as for how the bridge now known as the bunnyman bridge came to be tied to this Legend. My best understanding is that in 1970s this overpass was not very developed and was considered to be a hot spot for couples to park their cars and do a little investigations of themselves dot dot dot. Most likely, it was attached to the story as an From a young man to get a girl.

1:06:20 He liked sit a little closer. When parked in the area, and just like all other stories, the legend was built Brick by Brick off of that Foundation to a point in which the location of the bunnyman bridge in the area of Guinea Road where the cadet and security guard witnessed, the man in a bunny suit swinging, axes, seven miles away became eternally tied together forever, and there, this is my theory on the urban legend known only now, as the bunnyman a Fairfax County, What a letdown. So you know there's a I'll tell you about a little local Legend over here, right? It's the ghost car and there's a specific road that you would drive down, you know, when we were in high school and this in this road, we would goes in the kind of in the middle of nowhere.

1:07:12 And this is where you could go. So you could do things that you might not be supposed to be doing and feel secure and safe, right? So we would do these things on this road, and there would always be this car. That would show up down the road behind us. And then it would just seem to disappear right now as we've gotten older, we know exactly what's going on. And it's, you know, of course, there's no ghost car, but the legend of ghost car still exists. It's still a road. We still pass the road, me and the homies, and we're like, there's Ghost Car road. So you give that 30, 40, 50 years, You're going to have some people who really think that there's a ghost car.

1:07:53 Yeah. And that people are claiming of the racing it and someone got hit by it and killed and now it's now they're being used their bloods being used for gasoline like a terrible episode of Scooby-Doo. Hmm. And I would have murdered more Innocents to to work for you. Meddling kids yelling kids. Oh boy So, what do you guys think of the theory doesn't make sense? Yeah, yeah. Yes. I feel like yes yeah no not at all. I don't have any reasoning but everybody else said yes. So I got to be different transfer drink. This is fate specific but yeah so That's not all I have. I have an outro but before we do that any any final thoughts? I mean, urban legends are tough.

1:08:59 You know? There's not much that we can really debate on this one when you look back at the history of the area and you look at records and everything, like some people have taken the time to do. This is not much here unfortunately. Now there are, you know, I want to highlight the one article. The one website, right? And if anybody goes that website, they're going to see a bunch of different things about kids hanging from Bridges and a bunch of ton of stuff. Like, how bunnies are still seen in the woods today around Halloween and. But unfortunately, none of it's true. There was never any cases of kids hanging from Bridges or being mutilated like, the rabbits were with their ears missing or anything like that. Just didn't happen.

1:09:47 Yeah. It mean that it can't start happening. She's Jake. How far away are you from Virginia? I'm far far. Yeah, no, might need to make a trip. You got that one kid. That actually saw a bunny, this is like it is like 70s now. And he sees you and he's just like oh god, oh no, this goes for me. Stuck in that bucket seat with no child. Rates in the back of that car. In 1970 cigarette smoke. Permeating the car.

1:10:33 Oh boy that's great. Fantastic I like this gray did you? It's was fun. Yeah it's it to me it just sounds like a giant game of telephone and then now it like I listen to a podcast called No Sleep cup podcast. It's A bunch of scary stories who's to say that people aren't taking the legend of the bunny man, and creating their own stories. Now, you got a whole new. Now, you got a whole new Legend on the legend. Right, right. I think it's just a game of telephone, but it was really fun to listen to anyways. Oh no water. I know, I know Jeff mentioned a, an urban legend in his area, but what's an urban legend and everybody's local area today for us in California, we have the Goatman in Pass.

1:11:22 Rice. So basically, as you're going through Pacheco pass, there's a spot where you apparently can stop when it goes into California and you can honk your horn three times in the Goatman will come out and then break in your car and pull you out and drag you to hell. So that's cool. But we also had also all the missing time that people happen Pacheco pass, but usually, that's because it looks the same, going all the way through it. People tend to zone out and so though, Zone out going into autopilot for like an hour and then they'll wake up and they'll be like, oh my gosh, you know, where they'll let time go. Had I get over here. It's like well you drove there and you want you could cut yourself and just not known it, you know the chick was like driving straight through Indiana or Kansas or just like wow when's the next sign? I need some entertainment.

1:12:17 Jeremy of your I heard of pygmy Village. Yeah, that's the. Is that the fake? The fairy Village? It's the ayats that in New Britain. Connecticut. Yeah. There's a little like, fairy Village like made right in the woods and stuff people. Yeah. An orbit, you're supposed to have a fairy Forest take you. And, you know, because it's pretty, it's not closed in the same state, but it's not close to to Dudley town. But there's similar story, To that with with pygmy Village. But we used to growing up right near New Britain. We used to have lots of times where we hop that fence and walk through the woods at night and Probably wouldn't do that anymore, freak me out but the bit the big one where I'm from is that Connecticut, Valley Hospital CVH was a, was a big one.

1:13:05 I mean, we use we would talk about it all the time and we even may, or may not have broken in one time and may or may not have laid on the slabs. And, you know, try to do these little rituals that would make us levitate and stuff like that, you know, stupid kids things. That kids dudes is really dumb. Yeah. Satanic rituals kids. Yes, yeah. Just, you know, children and middle school just doing a tantric thing. Dripping blood on yourself saying, why does the feather light as a feather? Yeah, you know what's funny is that that's exactly this, the exact quote that we would say like this, but yeah, everyone did it right? And we would you know, or we wouldn't one of the to break into the basement of CVH and you know sit on these big giant cement slabs and you know, I mean I don't even know what the Slavs are for. Or but the story is that one.

1:13:59 I'm gonna go with. Yeah, well everyone thought they were for autopsies that's what that's what the going thing was because these giant stone slabs were surrounded by tile with drains. It's like yeah yeah yeah. And I just laid up our may or may not have laid up there a couple times and yeah I mean I got chased out of there by buy some, you know, would you know like when you Walk up the stairs and night like dark out and you get that little rush up that your backside. You're like, whoo, whoo, gotta get up the stairs pretty quick. You know just imagine being a middle schooler and old penitentiary.

1:14:44 Yeah. Morale is story kids. No being he's in a building. He's yeah, it's I may or may not. I've got a little fairy Forest here in my area. Two people people make their little little, it's like a little birdhouse and they paint it up and they named it and everything. And then they take it to the fairy fairy forest. And they every time I've got a cousin, I've got a niece who would just love it, she would just leave her, leave a fairy house in the fairy forest and it's bad luck. If you don't leave, leave a house for the fairies in the forest and it's actually kind of creepy.

1:15:24 You walk in. You don't expect it. You're walking across this. Along the trail and then directly to your left there, right? Whatever left, right doesn't matter. But break there beside you all of a sudden it's just birdhouses. Yeah, but they like to go from anywhere from this tiny little, like, one by one inch squared house to massive little, like dollhouses. And people purposely make these houses and put them out there for the fairies. Yeah, would you Davey said that? Not really similar but kind Of the same idea. Dave, you said that was in Waterbury. Pygmy Village. Yeah, New Britain.

1:16:05 New Britain. So I mean, I haven't been there before, but I've seen pictures and I know people who have been there, like that was an attraction that yeah, my friends had gone to, it's fun to have you, you should, if you guys get a chance look up pictures of pygmy Village, Connecticut. It's I mean, they're like little Mansions, dude, they're pretty cool. And then there's the Lord. Find it. That's not as enchanting as like just little cute houses. You were supposed to get like axed up by little people if you got cleared their nights. Exactly exactly. But I have you can get chased out of there by people that own the property. I mean they will when I was in high school it what they weren't axes but they were definitely not happy that we had hop that fence because it's like a it's a regular Road and then it just stops with like a just like a big Beam with a keep out.

1:16:57 Out private property. A lot of stuff in Connecticut. All right, I do weird stuff. Well, let me close this up here guys. The current adaption of the legend is told at get-togethers of all kinds details of how you can walk into the tunnel under Colchester overpass. And On Any Given night, you can witness the mutilated half-eaten bodies of rabbits, of all sizes, hanging from the ceiling and the tree limbs around the area. The modern tellings. Add that the Curiosity of thrill-seekers have a high probability of joining, the rabbits by becoming victims of the bunnyman themselves. The area now is visited by paranormal investigators, partygoers and couple searching for a cheap thrill on a regular basis.

1:17:40 The local authorities have even set up roadblocks some years to keep and interested parties out of the area due to hundreds of people that are expected to visit the bridge and the fall of every year, the legend of buddy, man and Bunny. Enbridge, still lives on strongly and local communities. And paranormal communities alike, citing still trickle in of sightings of axe-wielding Farid dressed as rabbits. And the middle of the woods are mutilated skinned, and half-eaten, bunny is hanging from trees, along the railroad to local authorities. But upon investigation, nothing is ever found and maybe, just maybe there is something to the area. There is something to the idea that The Closer you get to the Halloween season.

1:18:26 The more signs appear proving that the bunny man is still roaming the woods and Clifton Virginia, the end. So that's it guys. That is bunny, man and buddy man, Bridge of Fairfax County, Virginia. It sucks that there's no real murders to like substantiate the story, you know? Right. And it's it is one of those next time. You'll just give a shout out to Denver Michaels you know he called it right off the bat of what I was going to do I put a little snippet. Thank you. He was on top of that, wasn't he?

1:19:06 Well I mean he he should be, that's his that's his bread and butter area and that's his bread and butter. Eject so good on him, anybody that that wants to really dive into some really cool stuff in that area. Denver Michaels knows his shit. But yeah, that's it guys. That's bunnyman and bunnyman Bridge. Sorry. If it wasn't everything you wanted it to be. But at least we're all here together. All right. Well, does anybody have anything else to say about bunnyman and bunnyman Bridge? Nope. At least the good news is that this, you know, this Legend is probably so well, like ingrained in that area that you could tell people the origins and like that it's really based off of pretty much nothing and no one will believe you in the legend of will continue for forever. Yeah.

1:19:59 Yeah. I probably will. Something we can something, we can revisit like two years just to see how much more has been added to it. She'll try to contact people who live in the area and maybe try to, you know, use Facebook or some type of the internet to contact some people that live in Virginia area, some of your listeners and see if they can provide input and revisit it get some get 50 more Dave. You said that you were going to do a little bit of research on this that I had. So anything new now, you nailed everything that I had written down.
