Trick or Treat! Welcome, friends and fiends, to the final part of our Spooky Season reading of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow!" (aka, the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane story!) Join me as I read Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" - Part 4! Tonight everything comes to a head. We finally meet the infamous Headless Horsemen of legend, and it's up to you to decide if what happens is true or not. Depends on who you ask, really! The country wives would tell you fairy folk and demons had worked magic on the ill-fated night that Ichabod Crane and Gunpowder tried to outrace the Headless Hessian, but good old Brom Bones would probably just chuckle! Hmm. Wonder why that is Brom?! Got Katrina Van Tassel all to yourself now? Also, just where and why is there a smashed pumpkin near the church graveyard? All this and more are (finally!) revealed in tonights story! This tale, Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," is read in a soft voice and set to some light and eerie background music. I do hope you enjoy the this evening's spooky story, and are ready for a whole host of other ghost stories as well!
