Summary
In a new suburban development outside of Fairfax, VA, in 1970, a young military man and his bride to be were stopping to visit a family member who had recently purchased a new home across from a vacant lot. Suddenly a man in a bunny suit approached their car, slinging an axe, and shouting at them to leave. He then broke their car window, splattering the young lady with glass, and, before they were able to pull away, threw the axe into the car as he screamed "You people are destroying the land...all of you have to leave". He was then seen either skipping or running away, according to the story they gave to police. The young lady was unharmed but thoroughly shaken. Since that day the story has morphed, pulling elements from unproven sources...elements regarding escaped mental asylum patients, dead rabbits, murdered children, and placing it all near the old Colchester Bridge in Clifton, VA. In this story we investigate to see if there is even a grain of truth to the story which has grown aroundnot one but two Bunnyman appearances in 1970.
