The headless horseman’s final resting place

As Halloween approaches, I wanted to share a picture of the headless horseman’s final resting place. He his said to be buried in the open spot in the center of the photograph. (Please note, there is no gravestone.)

According to local sources the Hessian soldier saved a child from a fire that took place near the town. Although the soldier had killed many during the course of his life, he was buried on holy ground by the family of a child that he had saved during a fire. It is believed he was decapitated by a cannonball and was known as the headless Hessian. The rest of the clues to story also can be found here in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

If your in Sleepy Hollow go see it for yourself.
