Bunnyman

**Douglas J. Griffon**, better known as **The Bunnyman** was a spirit of a deceased serial killer who is known throughout Fairfax County, Virginia area who's existence is passed down in urban legends.

## Background

At the start of the twentieth century, Clifton was a small farming community, established around a railway stop. As the town grew, the residents were unhappy that they were so close to a state insane asylum, so they passed a measure to shut the asylum down. As the patients were being moved to the newly-built Lorton Prison, one convict escaped: Douglas Griffon. Griffon had been committed after he brutally killed his parents with an ax on Easter morning when he was twelve. The local police searched the woods for two months, but all they found were several half-eaten and mutilated rabbit corpses.

On Halloween, three local teenagers disappeared. That night, bloodhounds looking for the kids led officers to a small bridge with a rail line at the top and a road running under the bridge. Hanging from the bridge were the missing teens, disemboweled like the rabbits in the woods. The teens had been walking to a friend's house and apparently found Griffon hiding under the bridge. Griffon himself stood at the top of the bridge, waving an ax and wearing a makeshift bunny mask out of rabbit fur. As he maniacally laughed, his was struck by an oncoming train. In writing about the tragedy, the papers all wrote about "The Bunny-Man of Clifton."

Several months later was Halloween. A couple of teens were driving with their girlfriends, looking to scare them. They decided to go out to the old railroad bridge where the Bunny Man was killed. It was almost midnight. The boys stopped under the bridge and dragged the scared girls out of the car, teasing them that the ghost of the Bunny Man would get them. The teasing became too much for one of the girls, who pushed the boys away and ran out from under the bridge into the road. At that moment, at the exact stroke of midnight, she saw a bright flash of light under the bridge. When the light faded, she saw her friends' bodies mutilated and hanging from the bridge, and their car had a bloody ax stuck into the windshield. Ever since that night, local kids gather every Halloween at Bunny Man Bridge--but they all scatter before midnight, as none want to be caught under the bridge when the Bunny Man comes.
