This article is about the character. You may be looking for the memory of Ratonhnhaké:ton.
The Healdess Horseman appearing in the Frontier

The Headless Horseman was a character in European folklore since at least the Middle Ages. He seems to be a human with a pumpkin in place of his head.

History

Encounters

In the mid-18th century, Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Cormac could encounter and fight the Horseman at night near the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow in Sleepy Hollow, New York.[1]

One of the Horseman's victims

During the American Revolution, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton was told a tale of the Horseman by Daniel Boone. He searched the Frontier, and eventually saw him, laughing as he rode away on horseback.[2]
