The Ghost of Bunnyman Bridge
Bunnyman Bridge in Fairfax, Virginia got its name from a 1904 incident in which a patient escaped from a Fairfax insane asylum and survived for years in the nearby woods by eating raw rabbits. Reportedly, every Halloween the lunatic would emerge from the woods dressed as a rabbit and murder trick-or-treaters with an ax, hanging their bodies near the bridge. The killer became known as the Bunnyman. It is said that if a person stands under the span and intones his name three times the hare-like ghost will reveal itself to them.
