Bunny Man
38°47′23″N 77°21′44″W / 38.78985°N 77.36225°W
The Bunny Man is an urban legend that originated from two incidents in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 1970, but has been spread throughout the Washington, D.C., and Maryland areas. The legend has many variations; most involve a man wearing a rabbit costume who attacks people with an axe or hatchet.
Most of the stories occur around Colchester Overpass, a Southern Railway overpass spanning Colchester Road near Clifton, Virginia, sometimes referred to as "Bunny Man Bridge".
Versions of the legend vary in the Bunny Man's name, motives, weapons, victims, description of the bunny costume or lack thereof, and sometimes even his possible death. In some accounts, victims' bodies are mutilated, and in some variations, the Bunny Man's ghost or aging spirit is said to come out of his place of death each year on Halloween to commemorate his death.
Fairfax County Public Library Historian-Archivist Brian A. Conley extensively researched the Bunny Man legend. He has located two incidents of a man in a rabbit costume threatening people with an axe. The vandalism reports occurred ten days apart in 1970 in Burke, Virginia.
The first incident was reported on the evening of October 19, 1970, by U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Robert Bennett and his fiancée, who were visiting relatives on Guinea Road in Burke. Around midnight, while returning from a football game, they reportedly parked their car in a field on Guinea Road to "visit an Uncle who lived across the street from where the car was parked". As they sat in the front seat with the motor running, they noticed something moving outside the rear window. Moments later, a "man dressed in a white suit with long bunny ears" ran out from the nearby bushes and began shouting "You're on private property and I have your tag number."
The man then threw a hatchet through the passenger-side window of the vehicle before running away. Bennett and his Fiancée fled the scene. Both were uninjured. With the hatchet that was thrown remaining among the floorboards inside the vehicle.
Local police obtained the hatchet and examined, but with no other clues or leads, the hatchet was returned to Bennett. An investigation was launched but with no leads, it was eventually closed.
