With Halloween looming, we venture into Washington Irving's timeless classic, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," a story that has captivated imaginations for generations. We find ourselves in the quaint market town of Tarrytown, where the town's drowsy charm is only rivaled by its residents' penchant for lingering at the local tavern.

Together, we'll explore the serene beauty of this secluded glen and the peculiar lives of its Dutch-descendant inhabitants.

Some say a high German doctor cast a spell over the land, while others speak of an old Indian chief's powwows. This episode invites you to uncover the many marvels experienced by the Sleepy Hollow Boys and to marvel at the dominant spirit of the headless horseman, who commands the very powers of the air.
