The Bunnyman Bridge in Virginia has many urban legends, none of which look pretty. In the 1970s, a legend arose abouta man who skinned and ate animals, especially rabbits, and hung the half-eaten bodies in trees. Later, he started killing people who walked under the bridge at night.However, this story changed. Over time, the legend shifted. Now, some people do not believe there is a murderous ghost.
