This really needs to be its own thread.

I want to create a bunnyman livejournal entry just like the midgetville one but I'm in exams right now, so....later.

As some of you may have guessed, there is less truth to this story than there is to the midgetville one. People actually live in Midgetville, but there have been few violent incidents at the bridge.

There is an excellent research paper on the topic of the bunnyman and I'll post it as soon as I find it.

The purpose of the paper was to bring out the story of the bunnyman while explaining that the bridge itself has little to do with the actual story. I won't get into the details of the actual happenings; I'll just leave you with the paper.

yeah explain the story behind Bunnyman


I never understood it.

THE DEFINITIVE BUNNYMAN POSTING


Here is a livejounral entry on the topic of the Bunnyman. I don't explain everything in detail, leaving the links to do the speaking for themselves. I'll update this over the next few days, hopefully with pictures.

There are now pictures all over the place.

THE DEFINITIVE BUNNYMAN POSTING

There are also a host of new links.

Good stuff. And Bunnyman's bridge rocks. Good place to take a girlfriend or something to scare her.

Just a note though, it's a lot easier to log in and edit your existing posts than make new ones. and editing a post still bumps it to the top of the thread list. But judging by the Mateo1, you forgot your password. Email me if you need it reset.

nice articles. can i put them in the "Articles" section up above? Or can you?

I went down there and didn't see much......I was just like "this is it?" lol. scariest part about it was thinking about having to live down there when everyone says it's haunted.

Is this the weird concrete railroad bridge that is one lane (even tho the road is two lane)?

Cuz in the 80's, I know some kids that went to my high school were being drunk and stupid and driving way too fast and had an accident there. There was four of them in the car. They hit the wall, where it should be a lane but since it's only a one lane underpass, it's a wall. THe engine block came through the firewall and pinned the passenger but not the driver, somehow. The car burst into flames, and the passenger was alert, screaming for help, but the other two passengers and driver just got out of the car and ran away from the scene, fearing the consequences of being caught drinking underage, and what not. They supposedly never turned back, just let the guy burn. Fucking assholes. Heartless assholes.

I mean, really scumbag shit. Let a friend die in the car that one of them fucked up enough to cause the incident in the first place. The guy was supposedly calling out their names as he burned to death. Help me <whoever>! that kind of shit.

I mean, I think I'd at least do my best to yank the guy out of the car, or at least do whatever I could in the situation to prevent him from dying, not just flat out sprint away from the scene and never turn back, you know?

So if that is the same bridge, or not, it's still fucked up shit. I know it's in the same area, because I'd seen it prior to this horribly fucked up incident, with vines and weeds growing all around it. But in 1987 it was a public road, not private with no trespassing signs or anything, and it was in about the same area. Back off popes head or somewhere in that fun-to-drive maze of windy roads.

If they yanked him out of the car they may have burned their hands or something. NOW who's heartless ?!

Who was there to account for what he yelled as he burned to death if all his friends took off running? Sounds like another "story".

The bridge is at the end of Colchester Road in Clifton.

It's still a public road, it's perfectly legal to drive through the bridge. The legality problem comes when trying to stop and walk to the bridge. You're not allowed to stop on a public road within some number of feet of a bridge, and all of the neighbors have posted no trespassing signs so you're not allowed to pull off onto the shoulder either.

I've been there many times with no problems, but twice have seen a neighbor drive through only to have the police show up several minutes later.

Yeah, it could well be another urban myth. But knowing some of the self-centered, overly spoiled kids I went to school with, I wouldn't doubt something like that happening.

But, on the morality of the story, whether true or not, I would think even third degree burns on my arms would be a small price to pay to not have someone's death hanging over me, you know? And if it was an actual FRIEND, I would feel compelled to do everything I could until there was nothing left to do. To not at least try, that's the worst thing you could do. To be more concerned with not getting in trouble with your parents, that's just the lowest life-form, you know?

Yeah, I was making a bad joke. Absolutely one should try to help a friend. But if the story was true and everyone was drunk, then they aren't going to think straight. Either they'll bail or the liquid courage will get them killed too. Tragic story, but it sounds like the evening was destined for it.

I used to smoke up aroud bunnyman....we would drive by the shit everynight stoned lol....CLIFTON

Been to bunnyman like 10 times at all sorts of hours. It was only scary the first time when we first saw it. Every other time was just to see if we'd find anything, didn't. The last time we went some hicks followed us in a white truck with a trailer attached back to our neighborhood where they were promptly scared off by 5 angry spanish friends of ours. Nothing else interesting I guess

OMG. Teh bunnyman is a chasin' me!11!11!!11eleven!11!!

I am the Bunnyman. I have come to this website to answer your questions and put this story to rest. That and they just installed Fios under my bridge so now I can surf the intraweb for gay bunny porn!

Thank you,
Mr. Bunny H Man

Can't we ban anyone who bumps a 3 year old thread with stupid comments?

This boredom guy is getting tiresome.

trying to find out more about this "bunnyman" myth...i have a livejournal account but when i click on the "definitive bunnyman" link in this thread it tells me i "cannot view this protected link"...any reason why i can't see this page?

Same thing happens to me. I think there's some shady business going on in the bunnyman article.

Damn, this bunnyman bridge thing goes way back to the beginning of FFXU.
