Bunny Man Bridge

Bunnyman Bridge, located in Clifton, Virginia, has been the focus of a famous urban legend. The legend tells of a man in a bunny suit, wielding a hatchet.
The Bunnyman's story begins at an alleged asylum for the criminally insane, that used to be located somewhere in the woods near the bridge. There was a fire in the asylum and Bunnyman escaped. He hid out in the woods and would kill anyone who passed under this bridge. There are several versions of this story, this is just the one we are familiar with. 
There was a report of someone pulling off in a field near the bridge and the Bunnyman appeared. He was yelling about trespassing, and threw something through the vehicle's rear window. Upon further examination, they discovered a hatchet laying in the backseat of the vehicle.
It was a Saturday night when VAPI sent a team of investigators to test this urban legend. We were unable to obtain permission to stop the vehicle and get out to investigate. According to local authorities, it's illegal to stop anywhere in this area. Therefore, the most we could do was a drive by. The location is easy to miss. There is a "Dead End" sign at the beginning of the street, leading one to believe there's nothing down there. We drove through the winding back roads of Clifton for quite some time before arriving at the bridge. As you can see in the video, we drove through, turned around and drove back, slowing down as we passed through the tunnel. We didn't have the opportunity to do any EVP sessions or utilize the EMF detector, but we did get some video and pictures. Though we've definitely seen worse, this is a fairly creepy location. However, the Bunnyman failed to make an appearance that night. This doesn't mean he's not out there. Maybe one dark night, an unsuspecting traveler may catch a glimpse of him lurking in the darkness, carrying his hatchet, looking for his next victim.

Winter Night at Old House Woods

One winter night we decided to visit Old House Woods. We took a few pictures and observed. In a few of our pictures we captured a fog/mist moving in front of the house. This was not breath from the person taking the pictures, which was my first guess when I noticed the fog. I held my breath and took more pictures and the fog was still visible. As you can see in the last photo, this was a clear night. The fog was not visible to the naked eye, it only appeared in the photos.
Notice the fog/mist moving in from the right.

This was taken on a clear night.


Compare to the photos above - no fog.


Old House Woods

There are many legends about Old House Woods. One of the legends is of pirates who buried treasure out in the woods. The pirates drowned out at sea when their ship encountered a storm. They never returned to reclaim their treasure. 

Throughout the years, there have been many reports of paranormal activity in Old House Woods. There have been stories of ghostly lantern lights, sounds of shovels digging, skeletons in British uniforms, a banshee screaming through the woods, and the ghosts of the pirates who returned to reclaim their treasure. Many people have ventured out into these woods in search of treasure. It is said that they were never seen again.

During our investigations of this location, we have encountered some unusual activity. We have heard voices in the woods, seen strange shadows, and heard something knocking in the direction of the house. A lot of the stuff we encountered had a reasonable explanation, but we do feel that this area definitely has something unsettling about it.
