It is more often inborn than learned, and often a medium will awaken to this ability around the time they mature into adulthood. There are two kinds of mediums – spirit mediums and physical mediums. Spirit mediums channel the spirit through their own body, giving it voice. Physical mediums manifest a substance known as ectoplasm, through which the spirit can take form. A medium is ever only one of these types, never both. Medium IQ 9 (3) Talent Can conduct a séance to channel a spirit. It costs 1 ST per minute while contact is maintained. To enter a proper trance requires a successful roll similar to casting a spell (3/DX).

The Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival is a celebration of cinematic and literary-themed wonders—a one-of-a-kind combination of film premieres, exclusive screenings, live events, scripts in competition as well as special guests, panels and much more, all taking place in the historic Hudson Valley during its magical, and wildly popular, Halloween season. All of us with SHIFF are thrilled to welcome you to be part of history with this first-ever large-scale genre film festival in Westchester County, NY, in one of the most famous locations in the entire world. We extend a special thanks to the fine folk, governments and associations of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, the wondrous Tarrytown Music Hall and Warner Library, who proudly keep the spirit of Irving alive each and every day.

  • The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
    The Legend of Sleepy Hollow By Washington Irving A Literature Unit using Blooms Taxonomy By T. Shaw June 2013 The Headless Horseman About Washington Irving and his book The Headless Horseman was written in 1820 by Washington Irving along with his other famous story ‘Rip van Winkle’. It is the most popular and most enduring American story of its kind written in this era. The story is set in 1790 in the countryside around the old Dutch settlement of Tarry Town (historical Tarrytown, New York), in a secluded glen called Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow is known for its ghosts and the frightening atmosphere that haunts the imaginations of its inhabitants and visitors. The most infamous ghost in the Hollow is the Headless Horseman, said to be the ghost of a Hessian mercenary who had his head shot off by a stray cannonball during the American Revolutionary War, and who "rides forth to the scene of battle in nightly quest of his head". Washington Irving was born in New York City on April 3, 1783. Irving achieved international fame for his fictional works, including the stories Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as well as for his biographies and historical writings. (Irving wrote a biography of Christopher Columbus and his namesake George Washington) Irving served as the United States ambassador to Spain and helped to promote international copyright before his death in 1859. Ichabod Crane, Respectfully Dedicated to Washington Irving. William J. Wilgus (1819–53), artist Chromolithograph, c. 1856 The Headless Horseman REMEMBERING Legend
