Biography:
The Headless Horseman, also known as the Ghost of Sleepy Hollow, is a prominent antagonist popularized by Washington Irving's short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". While iterations exist in various media, the character is most readily associated with the supernatural and terrifying figure who roams the countryside seeking a replacement for his lost head.
In film and television adaptations of "Sleepy Hollow," the Headless Horseman is typically depicted as a Hessian soldier who lost his head during the American Revolutionary War. Driven by vengeance or an unfulfilled purpose, he rides through the night, terrorizing the inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow. His first appearance in film would be the 1922 silent film The Headless Horseman. He wields a sword and is often associated with a flaming jack-o'-lantern, which he throws at his intended victims.
Across different versions, the Horseman's motives and origins can vary slightly. However, the core elements of a decapitated rider, supernatural abilities, and a quest for a replacement head remain constant. The Headless Horseman is a lasting figure of American folklore and a classic representation of a vengeful ghost.
