Laurah's traveling all month — so while we cook up some strange new offerings for you, please enjoy this episode from our archives.

Whether presented as urban legend, murderous maniac, or ghostly avenger, the Bunnyman of Virginia has haunted a certain overpass near Fairfax--Colchester Bridge--and its residents for more than fifty years. This week, we delve into the origins of the twisty rabbit's tale.
