The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Gothic tale set in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow in Tarry Town, New York. The Dutch settlement is renowned for ghosts and hauntings, but the most infamous spectre is that of the Headless Horseman, the ghost of a Hessian trouper whose head was shot off by a cannonball during the revolution and who rides forth every night in search of his head. Ichabod Crane, a schoolteacher, seeks the affections of the beautiful - and heir to a fortune - Katrina van Tassel but has competition from the town's Abraham Van Brunt ("Brom Bones" ). Ichabod's aspirations are thwarted when Katrina tunrs down his offer of marriage. Then on his way home the schoolteacher thinks he sees the Headless Horseman and rides for his life. The next day there is no sign of Ichabod or the Horseman, which fuels the legend that he was spirited away by unnatural means.
