Strudeler’s Heroes: The Headless Horseman
A spectre has descended upon the land, they call it the Headless Horseman, it joins Heroes & Legends.
Tales throughout the Gaels and New England will seldom tell of the fabled black rider… Surely, such a revenant does not exist, but just in case, avoid the Old Dutch Church at Sleepy Hollow…
Origins: Germany (Rhineland) and as old as the Christian revenant myths; Ireland and as old as the country’s fairy myths; Scotland based on a ghost that haunted the Isle of Mull; England from the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; Canada (Nova Scotia) due to Scottish migration; America (New England and the Wild West) from Britannic migration and based on Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (likely inspired by Germanic tales, hence why the Headless Horseman is a "Hessian") and some old western frontier fiction.
