The Podcast from Outer Space

Once again we are rounding out a summer series this week as we bring our summer of Urban Legends to a close. Today we dive into the Urban Legend known as… the Bunny Man aka Bunny Man Bridge, which has been a fixture of local legend in the DMV dating back at least 50 years. Is there any truth to tales of a man dressed in a bunny costume wreaking havoc on the residential neighborhoods surrounding our nation's capital? Tune in as we get into the legend itself and some personal experiences at the bridge. We’ll also take a look at some real life incidents that could possibly explain how this tale evolved and how the Bunny Man has since become a figure associated with several gruesome murders and paranormal events straight out of a Stephen King novel. All this and more in todays episode!

We are back as we continue our summer dive into the paranormal, mysterious & high strangeness of urban legends… In today’s episode we are getting into the Vanishing Hitchhiker, which is probably one of the most well known and culturally unique urban legends we’ll look at this summer. Tune in as we get into several creepy legends of ghostly encounters from travelers far and wide. We also cover more primitive forms of the tale along with some history that could potentially point to how this is all wrapped up in our own modern storytelling and cultural zeitgeist of a bygone or maybe not so bygone era… We also end this one on a listener story from the PFOS hotline. All of this and more in today’s episode!

Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker? Or had a strange and unexplainable encounter? If so call the PFOS hotline at 619-866-6432 for a chance to be featured on an upcoming episode.
