Although the true nature of both the Headless Horseman and Ichabod's disappearance that night are left open to interpretation, the story implies that the Horseman was really Brom an extremely agile rider in disguise, and suggests that Crane survived the fall from Gunpowder and immediately fled Sleepy Hollow in horror, never to return but to prosper elsewhere, or perhaps was killed by Brom himself.

  • Legend Sleepy Hollow Story
    The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow By: Washington Irving n the eastern shore of the Hudson River, nestled in upstate New York, lies a small village known as Tarry Town. And not two miles from this village is a little valley that is one of the quietest places in the whole world. A small brook glides through it with just a murmur. The occasional whistle of a quail or the tapping of a woodpecker are the only sounds to break the silence. This tranquil place has long been known as Sleepy Hollow. Some say the place is bewitched, causing the residents of Sleepy Hollow to fall into trances and see visions or hear music or voices in the air. Nightmares are frequent among the residents, and the local lore is rich with peculiar stories, strange superstitions, and tales of hauntings. The most horrible spirit that haunts the region is a horseman without a head. He is believed to have been a soldier whose head was carried away by a cannonball. He is seen by the country fold as he hurries along in the gloom of night, searching for his head. He is known as the Headless Horseman. One fateful year, a schoolteacher named Ichabod Crane moved to Tarry Town from Connecticut. He was tall and exceedingly thin, with narrow shoulders, hands that dangled a mile out of their sleeves, and feet that looked more like shovels. His head was small, with huge ears, a spindle neck, and a long beak of a nose. To see him in the distance on a windy day, with his clothes fluttering, you’d think he was a scarecrow.

  • Playing Puck: a Study of Performative Action in the Shaping of a ‘Legend Landscape’
    PLAYING PUCK: A STUDY OF PERFORMATIVE ACTION IN THE SHAPING OF A ‘LEGEND LANDSCAPE’ ROBERT PETER IRVING A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education, University of the West of England, Bristol June 2014 Playing Puck: a study of performative action in the shaping of a ‘legend landscape.’ Abstract This thesis engages, through visual practice and written analysis, with the British tradition of ‘thin’ places that act as thresholds between everyday circumstantial reality and the otherworldly. It does so by focusing on the complex of prehistoric monuments that make up the Avebury ritual landscape because these have become a crucible of contemporary cultural significance and a site of mystical tourism concerned with allegedly paranormal phenomena. I argue that these circumstances produce a range of responses, often broadly religious or aesthetic, which involve ritualistic, artistic, and, above all, performed activity, where legends are re/enacted into being and presented as fact. My contention is that this activity not only revitalises and extends the legend as a form of cultural mediation but also stimulates a shared ‘sense of place’ that helps to enrich an existing narrative world. In this self-reinforcing cycle, memory, imagination, and artfulness together contribute to the shaping of ‘legend landscapes’ as sites of pilgrimage where otherworldly events are said to have occurred and spiritual presences (and absences) still dwell. The study is undertaken from the ‘insider’ perspective of a practitioner fully immersed in these processes.
