Every year when the green leaves turn bright orange and pumpkins appear on our doorsteps, Washington Irving’s classic ghost story, The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, is retold.
The beloved American legend follows the tale of Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher who finds himself in the haunted town of Sleepy Hollow, where he suffers an ill-fated encounter with the village’s infamous headless horseman before he mysteriously disappears from the community for good.
While the legend is a staple in American folklore, its inspiration is global. Indeed, Washington Irving’s haunting work is born out of a mixture of foreign lore, local history, and a bit of the uncanny.
