  Speaker 1: This happened on the night of Easter Sunday. My older
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: brother and I had been roommates for a few years,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: living in an apartment about a fifteen minute walk away
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: from our parents. Every year we would walk there to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: have dinner with our parents for Easter. Our apartment in
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: our parents' house were separated by a fairly large park,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: but a trail went straight through it, which crossed under
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a bridge at about the halfway mark. It was early
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in the evening when my brother and I made our
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: way through the park toward our parents. We weren't the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: only people out there, but it was becoming very empty
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: by the time we made it to the bridge. We
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen anyone in a few minutes. That's when we
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: started hearing something moving in the bushes. We both stopped
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and looked all around, trying to see where the rustling
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was coming from. Sometimes we would get to see a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: raccoon or something crawling out of a bush, but we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: didn't find anything. After a few seconds, we kept walking
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and passed under the bridge, and when we came out
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the other side, we heard a whistle. It sounded like
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it was a person whistling, not a bird or anything.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: We just ignored it and kept walking, picking up the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: pace quite a bit to exit the park as soon
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: as possible. We eventually made it to our parents place
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a few minutes later, but by then we were able
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to joke about how we'd gotten so spooped out by
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: essentially nothing. We soon forgot about it, as we had
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Easter dinner with our family and stayed for a few
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: hours to catch up and hang out with everyone. Once
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it was starting to get late, people started to head home,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: so my brother and I followed sue. While saying our goodbyes,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I talked with my brother about getting an uber home
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and avoiding the walk through the pathway since it was late.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: He told me I was overreacting and convinced me that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: nothing would happen, and so we left the house and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: re entered the park. As we were walking, it was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: pitch black. There weren't any street lights around, so we
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: had to use the flashlights from our phones to guide
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: us home. I never walked through the park this late
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at night and had always found it relaxing and peaceful,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: but without light, the whole place was creepy as hell.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I was about to say something to my brother about
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: how we should have gotten a ride, but just at
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that moment, we heard something nearby. It was the same
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: rustling sounds we heard before, but in the darkness, so
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it felt twice as loud. A few seconds later we
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: heard the whistle again too. A chill ran down my spine,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and I know my brother felt it too. That's when
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: we both started speed walking down the path. We knew
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we were almost halfway home when we saw the bridge,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but we didn't slow down. We walked into the tunnel
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and hurried to the other side, making it out in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: half the time it usually took us Getting out of there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Never felt so relieving, that is, until we hurt the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: whistle again. This time it sounded like it was right
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: behind us. We looked over our shoulders at the same
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: time and saw it. There stood a man standing at
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the other side of the tunnel. He was dressed as
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Easter Bunny, but he was holding an axe. Something
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: about the side of him made us stop dead in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: our tracks, frozen with fear. We looked at him, then
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: at each other, then back at him, trying to make
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: sense of it. What's up with that guy? Maybe it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: works at the mall, sure, because every kid wants a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: picture with the Easter Bunny about to chop their head off.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, EO, let's kip out of here. A damn
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it my ankle, shit, get up, get ch shit, he's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: running towards us. Stay away, Stay away. Hell. I didn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: want to leave my brother behind, but I didn't have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a choice. I had to get to safety and call
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for help. When I made it out of the park,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I called the police and then my parents. Minutes later,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the police arrived and escorted me back to where we
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: were attacked. By then, it was a nightmare. There was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: blood everywhere, and my brother's body had been completely destroyed,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: packed to pieces and scattered across the pavement. Hold that,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: but no sign of the bunny Man. There have been
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: no arrests since it happened. It was labeled as an
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: urban legend on the internet. But those people act like
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: my brother wasn't murdered. They act like I don't still
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: hear his screams every night, Like I didn't listen to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: his voice getting further away as I ran while he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: was begging for his life. For this Easter, it was
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: only fitting that we revisit the infamous bunny Man Bridge
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: urban legend for those of you who haven't heard of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the bunny Man, he was a notorious killer that wore
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a white rabbit suit and at the stroke of midnight.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Lore has it that if you speak his name three times,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he'll appear bunny Man, bunny Man, bunny Man, but don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: expect to survive. He'll slash your throat and leave your
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: body dangling from the bridge. Another rendition of the bunny
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Man was that he was a spirit of an escaped
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: mental patient who haunts the railroad bridge, living in the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: woods near the bridge, where he ate rabbits, taxidermy that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: kind of thing, and wearing their skins like leather face
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and leaving their remains hanging in the trees. There are
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: plenty of versions of the bunny Man Bridge legend, all
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: equally eerie, making the one lane tunnel of Colcester Road
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: such a popular spot that police daked out every year,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: chasing off truspassers searching for a scare. The bunny Man
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Bridge was featured in the Fox documentary Scariest Places on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Earth and has been mentioned countless times across the Internet.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: My wife and I had three sons, and they had
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: plenty of cousins, aunts and uncles, to grow up around.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Our house was the biggest in the family, so everyone
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: came over whenever we hosted a holiday like Thanksgiving, New
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Year's or Birthday party. So when it was Easter Sunday,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we invited everyone over for dinner. It was always a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: good time. But there was one person in the mix
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that I didn't want to be in the mix. It
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: was my brother. His name was Robert, and he had
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: always been an outcast in the family. He was a
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: weirdo when we were growing up, and it only got
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: worse as the years went by. He dropped out of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: school and was never capable of being social with people,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: so he just went from job to job his whole life,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: never finding his footing in anything. About five years ago,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: his luck finally ran out. He was broken in debt,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: with no job, no car, and no place to live.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Being the caring brother I am, I didn't hesitate to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: let him stay with us when he asked for help.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The only thing Robert seemed to be good at was
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: scaring my kids with his creepy behavior and leeching off
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: me and my wife. For the most part, all he
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: did was sleep in his room all day, watching TV
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: with the door locked. And only coming out when he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: absolutely needed to. I just didn't want my brother to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: be homeless. But everyone, and I mean everyone was trying
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to get me to kick him out. My wife was
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: pissed at both of us, My kids were begging me
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the creepy man sleep agin the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: room next to them, and even my relatives were baffled
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: by my inaction. The few times that Robert tried to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: hang out with us, it was unbearably awkward. His interests
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: were all macabre, graphic stuff I didn't want my kids
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to be exposed to, so I often had to shut
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: down his attempts at conversation. All in all, Robert's life
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was a shit show. When Easter came around, we were
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: hosting as usual with me, my wife, our kids, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: all the relatives that were close to twenty people attending
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the celebration for Easter Sunday, everything was good for a while.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: We painted eggs, did the traditional egg hunt, and got
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: everyone to sit in the living room and watch a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: movie together for hours. There was no sign of Robert.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: My wife and her sister started getting dinner ready when
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: they heard a loud thump coming from upstairs. It sounded
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: like Robert had stepped out of his room, swinging the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: door open. That's when he came downstairs and asked for
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a glass of water. As I began to poor Robert
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: or glass, he leaned down to my son and started
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: talking to him in a low voice. My wife snapped
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: at me to go stop him, so I quickly got
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: between them and sent Robert back upstairs as kindly as
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I could. The guy then gave me a dead stare
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: from hell and then marched up the stairs like a
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: demented twelve year old would, except he was in his forties.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: About two hours later, all the food was ready and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: we got all the guests to sit at the table.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Everyone was talking excitedly about how good the food was. Guys,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I know we all want to eat, so it's time
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to say grace. Okay really now we can probably just
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: fix them a plate. Hey, buddy, we didn't forget about you,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: just thought you wouldn't want to come down. Robert, what
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: are you doing with that? No? No, no, it was
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: so unreal. I walked among the remains of my family
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: for hours, looking into their paralyzed faces, watching their blood
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: pulled together, and see through the floorboards, smelling their finally missions,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: like the breadth of death itself was on my cheek.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I knew it was wrong. I knew it was a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: monstrous thing to do. Yet some people go their whole
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: lives without accomplishing anything. I knew half the people I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: took out were just like that, unimportant, unmemorable, doomed to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: be forgotten by history. I was going to be one
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of them, too, but I changed that. It's not that
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. It wasn't like scratching an itch. It
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was more life flipping that light switch off and on
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: three times, just so you can stop thinking about it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I only felt hollow relief that I couldn't go for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: another second without it. So I wasn't going to be
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a coward and try to avoid the consequences of my actions.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: You've reached emergency services. Reason to me. I am at
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: six three five Minor avenue. My family was having their
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Easter dinner and I did something bad, very very bad. Sir.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: What did you do, sir? Sir? Hello, sir. I walked
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: outside and waited for the police on the porch. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: wanted to get one last breath of free air before
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: they put me away forever. It took the police ten
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: precious minutes to arrive, and since then I've never seen
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the outside world. This story was inspired by a horrific
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: incident that occurred on Easter Sunday. A forty one year
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: old man named James Ruper took out eleven members of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: his own family and his mother's house in Ohio. Rupert
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: was found guilty and received two life sentences to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: served consecutively. He was moved to Franklin Medical Center in Columbus,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Ohio in twenty nineteen because of his declining health. James
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: eventually passed away from natural causes on June fourth of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two while incarcerated at the Franklin Medical Center.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Rupert was eighty eight at the time. The night before
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the murders, James went out, as he did nearly every night,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: at a cocktail lounge. He talked with an employee, saying
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he was frustrated with his mother's demands on him and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: his impending eviction, and that he quote unquote needed to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: solve the problem. According to Bishop, Rupert stated that his
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: mother had complained that if he could afford to buy
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: beer seven nights a week, he could afford to pay
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the rent. This happened around Easter, which still traumatizes me
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: till this day. I used to do community work at
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this old church a few years ago. It was more
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: than just a place of worship. It was my home.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I grew up in a very religious family, where Sunday
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Mass was non negotiable, holidays were all day affairs, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: praying was an everyday thing. I knew everyone in the church,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: from the nuns to the choirs, the priest Father Michael,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and a lot of regulars that came to pray. We
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: were basically a tight knit community, which I would consider
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: my family to some degree. Then things began to change.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: One of the nuns, who will call Sister Agnes, started
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to look off like more gaunt and pale than usual.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Sister Agnes, yes, is everything okay? Yes, yes, yes, yes,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: everything is just fine, no problems at all. What a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: lovely day it is? Right? Uh? Yeah, it is a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: lovely day. The week leading up to Easter was a whirlwind.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: We were all working overtime getting the church ready for
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the big day. I was helping clean the restrooms and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Sister Agnes was looking particularly frail. The priest Father Michael
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: was with her, so I didn't worry too much, as
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: he was looking after her. That was how it was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: for the next few days, and before I knew it,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: it was Easter Sunday. It wasn't at all what I expected.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: What was supposed to be a big celebration became a nightmare.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: When I made my way to the church for the mass,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I saw nothing but police cars everywhere. The church was
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: cordoned off, no mass, just the cops, and that awful
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: sinking filling in my stomach. Then the news broke Sister
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Agnes had been taken out. She was allegedly punctured about
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: thirty times with an inverted cross carved into her chest.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: At first I couldn't believe it. It was something out
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of a horror movie, far from the peaceful church I
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: had always adored. Had broke to her sobbing and shaking.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: How could this happen? Who could do something so evil?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The whole neighborhood was in shock. Everyone was whispering about
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: how it could have been a cult or something that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: did this to her. But over time there were no
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: leads or suspects. It became a cold case and everyone
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: just went back to living their normal lives. But I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: was still terrified. I couldn't even walk past the church
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: without getting nervous, so I started going to a different
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: church just to feel safe. It took me three years
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: before I could even think about going back there, but
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: eventually I did. But it wasn't the same. Something about
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the whole situation just didn't sit right with me. During
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: one night after Mass, I stayed to catch up with
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Father Michael. I waited for him to complete his church
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: only obligations, and when everyone else had left the church,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: it was just me and Father Michael. We started catching up,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: recalling the good old days stuff like that. I know
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that it should have been comforting for me, but for
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: reasons I couldn't explain. Something was off. What happened next
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: caught me off guard. One moment we were sitting down
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and socializing, and the next he suddenly lunched at me.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: They're hugging me like a wild animal, while cackling like
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a lunatic. I kicked and strained as hard as I could,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: hoping someone could hear me and come to my I ate,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: shut up, shut up, shut the hell up, but you're
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: gonna end up like her. I couldn't believe what I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: was hearing or what was happening. All I could do
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: was fight back, like a cornered animal. But I couldn't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: do much as he was much stronger than me. He'd
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: pinned me to the ground and held me there. All
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I could do was kick and scream and try to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: fight the freak off. I was basically in survival mode.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: After several minutes, I managed to break free, getting away
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: from him. I ran like my life depended on him.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: He was chasing after me, pleading for me to stop,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: like a lunatic. I felt like a trapped animal waiting
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to be slaughtered. I ran for the front door of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the church, not knowing the caretaker already had it locked.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: But before Father Michael could catch up to me, I
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: ran to the side hallway and was able to find
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: an exit. I got the hell out of there and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: ran until I arrived home. I locked all the doors
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and windows, sobbing and shaking. I called the police, telling
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: them everything that had happened. When they arrived at the church,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: they immediately arrested him and brought into jail. And that's
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: when the horrible truth came out. The news reports and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: police investigations pushed the authorities to reopen the case of
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Sister Agnes. It was later found out that Father Michael
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: had been hearing voices in his head and that they
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: were allegedly too impossible for him to ignore, causing him
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to act in a rage and take her out in
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a twisted ritualistic way. He took a knife and did
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: what he did thirty times. When authorities asked him why
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: he pierced an inverted cross on her, he said he
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: did it because he wanted to make it seem as
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: if there was a Satanic ritual that took place, so
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that there was no heed on him. But all along
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it was him. He'd been hiding in plain sight. Poor
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: sister Agnes, she didn't stand a chance. This story was
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: inspired by a horrific Easter incident that happened on Holy
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Saturday in Ohio and involved a nun and a priest.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: In April nineteen eighty, sister Margaret and Paul was found
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in the chapel of Toledo Mercy Hospital. She had been
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: pierced by a sharp object over thirty times, including nine
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: wounds in the form of an inverted cross, and covered
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: with an altar cloth. The scene was made to look
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like a satanic ritual that had taken place. It took
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: two decades for the slang to be solved, in which
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: time the case went cold and was only reopened after
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a woman accused a priest of ritual intimate torment. That
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: pre slash culprit was father Gerald Robinson, the same priest
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: who had conducted Margaret's funeral service. He was finally arrested
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and six and sentenced to life in prison,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: where he later passed in twenty fourteen.
