Ohio
Historical Society
A
19th-century
Halloween celebration
featuring
The Headless Horseman |
|
 |
In
the dark shadow of the grove,
on the margin of the brook,
he beheld something huge,
misshapen and towering.
It stirred not,
but seemed gathered up in the gloom,
like some gigantic
monster
ready to spring upon the traveller.
