The Headless Horseman

"YAAAAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!" - The Headless Horseman laughing.

The Headless Horseman (voiced by Bing Crosby) is the main villain of the 1949 segment from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, called "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". He is a gallpoing ghoul who will do anything to get himself a new head. But he has one weakness, he can't cross covered bridges, otherwise he loses his powers. He is cruel, relentless, scary, and all one nasty ghost.

Origins
The Headless Horseman was once a Hessian Soldier who fought in the battle of White Plain. The Hessian was killed in battle losing his head to a cannonball during the American Revolution. Ever since then, this horseman rides forth every Halloween in search of his head. One person was unforunite to encounter this ghoul, his name was Ichabod Crane. One Halloween when he was returning home from The Vantassel Party, he encountered the ghoul and headed for the bridge. When he made across, he saw the horseman stopped in his tracks, but before vanishing, he threw his pumpkin head stright at Ichabod. The next morning, the villagers found only Ichabod's hat, next to shattered pumpkin. Many people belived that he ran off, with the good dutchsettlers believed that he was spirited away, by The Headless Horseman. This phantom was created in 1819 by American Author Washington Irving, his series of Short stories called Sketchbook.
