Bunnyman Bridge: Suburban Myth and Hatchet Rabbit


Listen Later

Mike and JT head to Fairfax County, Virginia, to investigate the "Bunnyman Bridge," a stone archway that looks like the exact spot a bridge troll would ask you a riddle about your property taxes. Mike clears the air on the fake 1904 asylum lore, only to reveal a much weirder reality involving a man in a white rabbit suit who threw hatchets through car windows in the 1970s. JT critiques the Bunnyman’s tactical choice of weapon, noting that it is impressively difficult to maintain peripheral vision in a mascot head while attempting primitive woodworking assault. Ultimately, the Bunnyman was just an anti-development activist funnelling his suburban rage through a Spirit Store costume, proving that there is no bridge creepy enough to make us believe in a six-foot-tall, hatchet-wielding Easter icon.
