It begins in a town called Sleepy Hollow in the state of New York that was up by the Hudson River when the town was being haunted by a murderer that rides at night and kills a victim by cutting off his or her head and taking it away. One day in the year of 1790 a young handsome man named Ichabod Crane, who was originally a schoolteacher in the state of Connecticut, was hired by the squire of Sleepy Hollow named Baltus Van Tassel to be Sleepy Hollow's new schoolteacher. And so while he was walking on his way to Sleepy Hollow, he met up with an old man that was riding in a carriage who was one of the Sleepy Hollow elders named Lord Fritz Vanderhoof and he offered Ichabod a ride in his carriage to Sleepy Hollow and so Ichabod went into his carriage and they both rode off together to the town of Sleepy Hollow. While they were riding in Sleepy Hollow, Lord Vanderoof asked Ichabod why has he come into Sleepy Hollow and Ichabod said that he has come into here to see new places and meet new people and that he was hired by Squire Baltus Van Tassel as the new schoolteacher and he would like to be dropped off next to the old Sleepy Hollow schoolhouse. When they arrived in Sleepy Hollow, everyone was fascinated to see Ichabod Crane as a new person of Sleepy Hollow. While they were riding through the town of Sleepy Hollow, they were stopped by a tall strong man riding on a black horse named Abraham "Braham Bones" Van Brunt.
