The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow is a story of a headless horseman searching for his missing head. In the story, the headless horseman used to cut heads by whoever his controller wants or asks him to be beheaded.

The setting used by the author successfully enriched and gained the purpose of giving the viewers or readers the highlights of a horror movie. Washington Irving gives us a brief introduction of what will be the legend of the headless horseman was.The power of imagination was very prominent in the story. In order to get what the story wanted us to imply it is where imagination takes place especially when we are just reading the story and never bother to watch.
