Description: Sleepy Hollow’s Headless Horseman turns Ichabod Crane’s ride home into a nightmare.

Explore the real Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow, New York, and an older German headless-rider legend collected by the Brothers Grimm.

Settle in for Halloween ghost stories, dark folklore and the eerie sound that lingers after the chase.Bonus episodes & support: https://weeklyspooky.com/joinMore scary stories: https://weeklyspooky.com/Story submissions: WeeklySpooky@gmail.com
