 After the Civil War, Fairfax County, Virginia became more populated, and eventually an insane asylum was built there. There were protests, and it wasn't long before the asylum was shut down. The administration transferred the patients in 1904 to a new building, but during the transfer, some of the patients escaped and hid in the surrounding woods and forestry. These individuals were lost, delusional, and dangerous. Most of them were found, except Marcus, Loster, and Douglas Griffin. But it wasn't long before the local authorities found a trail made by the two men. It was littered with half-eaten, mutilated bunnies. The trail led deep into the woods to a tunnel crossing a wide creek. There, they found Marcus hanging from the tunnel entrance, with a note attached to his foot. It read, You'll never find me no matter how hard you try. Signed, The Bunnyman. That tunnel has been called Bunnyman Bridge ever since. The legend says that if you walk all the way down to the tunnel and around midnight, the Bunnyman will grab you and hang you from the entrance of the bridge. Strange deaths and phenomena have constantly been connected with the Bunnyman Bridge. There was a young man from Clifton, Virginia, who came across the bridge while traveling. Later, he killed his parents and dragged their bodies into the woods to hang them from the bridge, before killing himself. In 1943, three teenagers were found dead, hung from the bridge. Their bodies were slashed open and all had notes attached to their feet. Their notes stated, You'll never catch the Bunnyman. In 2001, after hearing the tale, six local students in a guide searched the area, only to find mutilated bunnies during their search. They soon left the forest after they heard noises and caught glimpses of a figure in the woods.
