If there is a hint of struggle and resistance in the face of adversity in the legend of "Boolean Rabbit" To put it bluntly, the urban legend of "Rabbit Man" is completely dark and weird.
Legend has it that in 1904, a car in a mental prison in Virginia overturned while transporting prisoners. Most of the people on the car died, but ten people escaped. After a search, nine were captured.
After that, local residents discovered that half-gnawed rabbit corpses were always hanging on the branches on the roadside. Later, a human corpse even appeared, hanging in a manner similar to that of a rabbit. So among the police officers, the missing prisoner Douglas J. Grifon was called "Rabbit Man".
This fugitive was originally arrested for killing his entire family on Easter, so he was inherently evil. Later, the police found him on the bridge, but he jumped and hit a speeding train. It is said that after the train passed, the police heard creepy laughter.
A few years after the fugitive's death, rabbit corpses still often appeared on the branches around the bridge, and passers-by reported vaguely seeing human figures in the bridge holes.
This legend is full of holes. After investigation, it was found that there was no local mental hospital until 1910, and there is no information about Grifon in the court records, but this cannot stop people from making up their minds.
By 1970, the media reported two local attacks one after another. The parties firmly claimed that they saw a white figure smashing their car windows with an ax and threatening them, and this guy seemed to Wearing a bunny costume with ears.
The details of the two attacks were extremely similar, and the dusty legend was immediately revealed. For a time, all Americans knew about the "Rabbit Man Bridge". It has become a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts, with hundreds of people coming here every year for Halloween, Easter and other events. This forced local authorities to restrict the influx of outsiders starting in 2003.
The legend of "Rabbit Man" is both evil and widespread. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the inner feelings of American children when they were forced to take photos with such ugly rabbit dolls after listening to the story. of collapse.
