The Bunnyman Bridge is a concrete tunnel located at “Southern Railway” overpass on Colchester road in Clifton. The important about the Bunny Man Bridge is that Bunny Man is an “Urban Legend” that perhaps originated from two incidents in Fairfax County, Virginia in 1970, but it spread right through the Washington D.C. area. There are several variations about the legend but common variation is a man with a rabbit Costume (bunny suit) who attacks at the people with an axe.
Story variations contain the cause of the Bunny Man, victims, motives, weapons, description of the bunny suit, names and the likely death of Bunny Man. In some cases the aging spectra or Bunny Man’s ghost is said to come out from his position of death every year on “Halloween” to memorialize his untimely termination. In some accounts, victims’ bodies are mutilated.
The Orange and Alexandria Railroad were first constructed approximately in 1850. There is a minute tributary stream, feeding “Popes Head Creek” Between Devereux Station (now Clifton) and Fairfax Station, this stream crosses the path of railroad. The real bridge was a wooden trestle except on a smaller scale.
The railroad was improved and rebuilt during the period of 1890 and 1910. When the existing bridge of concrete, brick and stone was constructed, this was the same as in 1890-1910. At that period the road was grime and most probable forded the stream in line with the bridge. While traversing the tunnel, you would anticipate to wade the stream. Now the stream goes beneath the covered road in a 12 inch ridged steel pipe.
