The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

This is the last installment of October's classic ghost and horror stories so I thought I would end it with an American staple, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. Published in 1820, it quickly became a favorite of everyone and Disney later made a softer, shorter, animated movie about it. That was my only experience with the story until I sat down to read it for you, and the pacing and tone of the original is much different. I hope you enjoy.
