Bunnyman



The Bunnyman a urban legend of United States and is the spirit of a serial killer.

History
Brian A. Conley, historian and archivist at the Fairfax Public Library investigated the legend and found two cases of an individual disguised as a rabbit and threatening people with a knife. These reports, considered vandalism, took place in 1970 in Burke. The first reported incident was on October 19 by the [then] Air Force Academy cadet: Robert Bennett, who was visiting relatives in Burke. Around midnight, both returned from a football game and claimed that they parked their vehicle in an open field on Guinea Rd., Whose relative, an uncle of theirs, lived across the street. They immediately saw a figure move from the rearview mirror, which moments later smashed the passenger seat window. They immediately saw that this "figure" was dressed in white and that he was also yelling at them to get out of "his property." Once underway, they discovered an ax on the floor of the car. When the police asked them for a description of the suspect, Bennett insisted that the individual was dressed in a white suit with rabbit ears, however his partner denied this last detail and claimed that he was wearing a kind of hood. However, they both agreed that they remembered his face although they could not specify the race due to the darkness in those hours.The second testimony dates from October 29, when Paul Phillips, a security guard, approaches a man standing in front of a porch of a house under construction in Kings Park West. According to his statement, the aforementioned was close to 20 years old, was 1.73 m tall and was dressed in a gray, black and white rabbit costume. He also carried an ax with which he allegedly threatened the guard. In both cases, the county police opened investigations, which were closed for lack of evidence. In the following weeks, more than fifty people contacted law enforcement authorities claiming to have seen the Bunny Man in addition to various newspaper headlines, including The Washington Post.2 In 1973, Patricia Johnson, a student at the University of Maryland, published a research paper that covered 54 versions of those two events.

The Bunnyman's Bridge
Around 1953, in Clinton County, Fairfax, there was a long-abandoned Asylum near a town. It was not long until, thanks to a request, the place was rebuilt and what is now known as "Lorton Prison" was formed, which was basically a facility for temporary convicts, who were kept there until their trial and their later transfer. In the fall of 1954 a batch of Convicts were sent by Bus to the new prison, it is not known for sure, but at some point during the trip, near Lorton, the Bus capsized and caught fire.

Those condemned who did not die in the accident, fled badly wounded to the Forest, which for 4 long months were searched by the local police and found dead from the wounds or eaten by wild animals. Only two convicts remained to be found, Marcus A. Wallster and Douglas J. Grifon. In the search it was not uncommon to find dismembered carcasses of rabbits.

He finally found Marcus, who they mistakenly called "Bunny Man", dead on Fairfax Bridge, which, almost jokingly, would henceforth be called "BunnyMan Bridge". Marcus had a huge wound on his head from what looked like an Ax, in addition to the infected burns from the Bus accident. When lifting Marcus's body, the officers found two dead rabbits on the bridge, this led to the nickname "BunnyMan" being given to Marcus, it would soon be discovered that they were in a terrible mistake. The police did not care too much for the Deceased, they only cared about finding the missing Douglas once and for all.

As the search continued, the cops had to give the real "Bunny Man" credit, as they kept finding rabbit carcasses stuck in trees with what looked like makeshift spears with sharp branches. Then they were not only rabbits, also Dogs and small Deer, not only nailed to trees, if not gutted, cut in the middle with something very sharp.

After 3 months, the dead animals stopped appearing, so the "Bunny Man" was considered dead, the town celebrated with a great fair, the last 6 months had been terrible for the locals. As the party progressed some youngsters took more than necessary, and perhaps in some courageous challenge or something, these 6 guys went up to the Fairfax Bridge, now known as "BunnyMan Bridge".

The next morning the screams of a teenage girl woke up the local Sheriff, who when he saw her bathed in blood and with a huge slash of Ax on her shoulder that had almost ripped off Raíz's arm, he could not do more than run to the Hospital of the people for help. The girl was in a state of Shock for almost 3 days, her condition was critical, but she managed to say a few sentences before finally dying 1 week later.

The girl, although drunk, she described in great detail several of the events experienced that night. She and her friends had reached the bridge around midnight, and they stayed there for about 2 hours, when someone mentioned something about some sounds in the forest, they obviously thought it was a joke, if a joke in bad taste. Things rushed when one of the boys screamed, and then he couldn't, a wooden spear had pierced his throat. The girl mentioned that a subject dressed in "white skins" ran out of the forest with what looked like a huge rusty machete, hitting several of her friends on the head. She tried to run, but the guy was incredibly fast, and she wouldn't stop screaming as she brandished her Machete. She attempted to hit her on the head but missed her and instead hit her on the shoulder of her, the subject lost his balance and fell from the bridge down. The girl kept running towards the village, but she fainted at some point, when she woke up she went to the village, and you know the rest.

On the same day the dying girl arrived in town, the Sheriff and a few officers made their way to the Fairfax Bridge, now more "BunnyMan Bridge" than ever. What they saw would mark them for the rest of their lives.

Five naked boys swayed hanging from the bridge to the sound of the light breeze, all of them open from head to crotch, the flies piling up, devouring their internal organs now exposed so violently to the world. Written in blood on the bridge walls, a cryptic message read: "easy prey". They never found Douglas "Bunny Man".

November 3, 1956 - A homeless man is lost in the Forest, his body dismembered from him is found on Fairfax Bridge.

April 5, 1962 - Three children under the age of 8 were found dead under the Fairfax Bridge, showing signs of strangulation.

August 9, 1967-The charred corpse of a woman is found hanging over the Fairfax bridge, under her a kind of bonfire would have been lit, her body shows signs of cannibalism.

Reports like this are on file until May 14, 2010, when a woman and her children were found dead in her car under the Fairfax Bridge. All three showed signs of ax blows.
