Ep 62. American Urban Legends Halloween Special: Bunny Man & Cropsey

For our Halloween special, we bring you two frightening American urban legends! First Rainie takes us to the state of Virginia where the “Bunny Man” roams Fairfax County. Douglas Griffin was an escaped mental patient who roams the forest in Fairfax killing and mutilating little bunnies shoes corpses he hangs from his bridge. Legend goes that if you go to the Colchester Overpass (colloquially known as Bunny Man Bridge) on Halloween night and call out “Bunny Man, Bunny Man, Bunny Man” at midnight, he will appear in his bunny suit and cut off your head with an axe before hanging your body from the bridge like he has will all his other helpless victims. Then McKenzie takes us to Staten Island where the legend of Cropsey has been told for centuries. Cropsey (also an escaped mental patient) kidnaps and tortures children before killing them. This was often used as a cautionary tale to keep young children from wandering off, especially into the woods or into the tunnels under the abandoned Willowbrook State School where Cropsey is said to live. This was harmless until the 70’s when the tale became all too real!
