Take a walk through Sleepy Hollow with me

And feel the spirit of the Headless Horseman

And into the woods

Spook Rock

A shrine to Hulda the witch who lived in these woods and treated locals with her herbal remedies. Visitors here keep up her 'house'

I added my own to it

@SageWanderer hit the cemetery, that's an all day exploration by itself. Washington Irving himself is in there.

After that just above the town itself is state parkland. That’s the Sleepy Hollow you'll recognize from the story.

@robingoodfellow Thanks for the tourist tips. I’ve been thinking about traveling there once gas gets reasonable again!

@SageWanderer you would love the Hudson Highlands and the Hudson Valley. It's neverending natural beauty and folklore.

It is such an amazing village, with all the "Fall Colors" and old folklore told by Washington Irving.

A great post and pictures for this time of the year.
It is too bad that Irving is now known for just a few things he wrote. I loved his The Alhambra, written about a very different-but enchanting-setting.

@robingoodfellow Off subject but I just finished reading Ivanhoe (probably not for the first time but I had forgotten many of the details) and recall the character Locksley vividly.

@LamontCranston I read it long ago, I don’t remember a lot of it.

@robingoodfellow The ultimate swashbuckler.

When I was little I didn’t think places like Sleep Hollow and Salem were real. I thought they were just stories. 😂

@Straylight I think that's normal because the stories give them a larger than life feel.
Salem is another great place to visit during Halloween.
