"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," has been making spines tingle since 1820! Washington Irving tapped into our fear: a late night journey shrouded in fog suddenly..... Our imaginations conjure every conceivable danger, but in one of history's most famous encounters, one Ichabod Crane comes—dare we say it, face to face? —with the "spectre known at all the country firesides," the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. A classic, distinctively American tale, that evokes additional terror as Halloween comes and goes each year, this is the original, 1820 version.
