Talk:The Headless Horseman/@comment-24206762-20140105200134

''The Horseman was a Hessian mercenary, sent to these shores by German princes to keep Americans under the yoke of England. He was famed for filing his teeth to razor-sharp points, adding to the ferocity of his appearence. He rode a giant black steed, named Daredevil. He was famous for cutting off heads at speed, at full gallop. This butcher did not meet his end til the Winter of 1789, not far from here, in the Western Woods. They cut off his head with his own sword... and even now the Western Woods are a haunted place, where brave men will not venture." - Michael Gambon (Baltus van Tassel) - Sleepy Hollow
