In 1820, American author Washington Irving penned a short story called The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which remains among the best-loved American works of literature to date. In it, a scheming schoolmaster named Ichabod Crane is haunted by the legendary ghost of the Headless Horseman—a Hessian soldier who was accidentally decapitated by a cannonball during America’s war for independence. Sleepy Hollow’s local gossips hold that the Headless Horseman prowls over a bridge at night, waiting for lone travelers, whose heads he covets.
