The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
By Washington Irving
Welcome to the SPOOKIEST season of the year!
This Halloween season will be one to remember! All year we have worn masks for our safety but now we can finally wear one for fun!! Many families have different ways to celebrate this scary fun holiday. Some carve or paint pumpkins and gourds. Some dress up and eat candy with their favorite people. Some read creepy horror stories. That's what we'll be doing today!
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
This story tell the tale of one of the very few people to have seen a HEADLESS HORSEMAN and live to tell about it! What I have always wondered is if the others that had encountered the ghostly rider had a similar experience with him. What I want you to do is imagine that another person from the same town (or a different one) who might have run into the Headless Horseman and write a short narrative from that person's perspective. Feel free to create a new character or use one that was already mentioned in the story. You can make this story as spooky or silly as you want!
A Few Guidelines
- Your creation has to be at least 4 paragraphs long (the longer, the better).
- Do your best!
- Have fun doing it!
