History-sode | Sleepy Hollow

Long before Halloween decorations and scary movies, a foggy little village in New York became the home of America’s most famous ghost story.

In this History-Sode, Auntie Jo Jo takes you to Sleepy Hollow, where Dutch folklore, Revolutionary War history, and one curious writer named Washington Irving created the legend of the Headless Horseman.

Learn how a real town, a few spooky local stories, and one brave schoolteacher named Ichabod Crane became part of American history.
