The Bunnyman.. Today this urban legend has grown to a event at the turn of the century 1900's. Thats all untrue. The truth is that "The Bunnyman' was here in Fairfax County in 1970 in the fall. This ole Woodson man knows who he was. but its a name I will never tell due to respect to his family.I will tell you he passed many years ago in the 1970's of a accident involving a train. Trains and the Southern Railroad were a part of Bunnymans life, You see in the early 1970's the railroad was a secret highway to many party places. Youths would catch rides on slow moving trains, Grand central station was the "Pagens House " in Burke a old burned up place with a big field that reached down to the railroad tracks, across the street in the then new Kings Park West was where Bunnyman threw the hatchet threw the cars windown with the two young lovers in it. At "Grand Central" you could hop slow moving trains to many party grounds, Bells Pond in Burke just down the tracks near the ole Handy Dandy then 7-11 and down to Accotink with the train trestle. Going the other way there was Clifton and the bridge area off Colechester. and of course several spots in Clifton all popular places to party. The Bunnymany loved that railroad. He was a long hair who liked to get smoked up, for laughs he got a white Bunny suit and posed in Woods near Little Run School along Guinea and Olley lanes and other places sometimes with a little hatchet. All for laughs but of course it was scary to many. To parents not "Funny Bunny"
at all but weird and scary. Oh well just look at the "freaks" back then all were weird and scary to normal folks and Elmer Fudd types .Today the freaks are stock brokers and Federal judges and live in huge gated mansions some of them are your fathers and mothers! .Ok not all! Now ..Brian Conley FXPL historian you know the rest of the story and I wanted to tell you several times working round, but bit my tounge and like I say its a name I'll never tell.I think some people who knew Bunnyman started the ledgend in his honor with the Colechester bridge as that was in the area where he loved to hang out and party. the Clifton area. RIP Bunnyman you left a true urban ledgend and you never knew it.
