A tale from The House of Apprehension.

This short story tells the tale of a small town schoolmaster named Ichabod Crane whose unsuccessful attempts to woo a beautiful young heiress named Katrina Van Tassel end in a most hair-raising journey home.

I have abridged the tale somewhat to focus on Ichabod's flight through a local wood, supposedly haunted by the spectre of a headless horseman.
