Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane still popular

Way back in 1820, author Washington Irving wrote a little story that today, 200 years later, still haunts us, especially at Halloween.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is set in the New York Dutch settlement of Tarry Town in 1790. In the countryside surrounding the town is a lonely and mysterious glen, feared by the superstitious -- which was just about everyone in the area. Among the spirits inhabiting the glen is the Headless Horseman, a Hessian soldier who was killed in the American Revolution and still "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head."
