Well, this is somewhat a very old myth, right? About the rider which has no head and wanders the wilds. I used to know, that there was a book about this horseman. it was about a cossack soldier who had lost his head in battle but his horse never stopped from running, keeping his master in the saddle. The folk, superstitious, as they are, thought It came from Hell.
But, somewhat recently, Tim Burton directed a movie about Sleepy Hollow and the horseman. It's with johnny Depp! Well, the movie says that the horseman really had no head and terrified all the ppl.

It might be true aswell . Ghosts are basically people who have died before their time , have something left undone , have been too evil , have commited a suicide or just do not wish to leave . But then again they part in two groups - the good ones and the bad ones (the ones who have killed themselves or just have been too evil and wish to furtherly torture and terify the living ones) and the Headless horseman could be this type or the good one , who has left something undone . Though none can know ... Damn 1 I`m geting a bit too rational there ... Ophelia

Okay, so did u see the movie which I was talking about? I think u would like it. Anyway, this horseman was more of material ghost, almost a walking dead; yes, a walking-dead. Someone (in the movie) had his head and controlled it. U should see it.

I've just reffered to the movie remotely. Knowing that Oph likes paranormal, or should I say is keen about it, I recommended the movie. The topic I had started to talk about the legend of the Headless Rider. Got it?

The village I live in has a story about a headless horseman. It was about a stable boy working at an estate and the people that lived there had a good horse, won a lot of races, some one from a near by village had quite a large bid on his own horse and naturally didn't want to let go of his money so he goes over to this estate in the middle of the night and kills the horse, beheads the stable boy and buries the two of them under the floor boards. Some time later a new owner of Laungams (the name of this estate) finds all this under the floorboards in the stables when he was getting it dug up. He had a bit of a fetish about heads so he took this head and had it mounted and put it up in the house. Apparently, as the stoy goes, the stable boy can be seen riding around the estate on the same night every year looking for his head. I did some waitressing there for a book launce and it's a really freaky place. I'd really liked Sleepy Hollow, great film.

If I remember correctly in the Sleeppy Hollow book wrote by Washington Irving the plot evolved around a rider who lost his head in the middle of a battle and his horse usued to run around with him throught the woods scaring the villagers. So no ghosts, no demons, no mosters. Now, in Tim Burton's Sleeppy Hollow the horseman is for real. Tim Burton suggests that the person who had the horseman skull could command him, thus the horseman would obey. So, what do u think of this theory? Do u know any related facts or stories about this sort of thing?
