The headless horseman

The headless horseman was a headless freak that was in the revolutionary war. When he and the other soldiers fought in Sleepy Hollow, the soldier's life ended here. He was beheaded by a cannonball. Every year, some random freak would dare each other to go spend a night in Sleepy Hollow. The first person who saw it was old Ichabod Crane. Before he could move, the headless horseman threw its served head at Crane. And... the ol' schoolmaster was never seen again. Some say that the headless ghost has the power to vaporize anybody. What else could've happened to Ichabod?
