How do you like to be in a Ghost town?

Ghost stories have always been much more fascinating when the stories seem true. These always bring the imagination of people to dance and for those who like to explore the enchanted places, there are many gatherings.

It is possible that the name of this city is known to you because of the famous story that is often told of Halloween, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow is located in the state of New York and is located on the east side of the famous Hudson River. The city's reputation is that it is persecuted and its 9,000 inhabitants live side by side with many ghostly spirits. It is a fascinating and picturesque city that became the focus of attention when Washington Irving wrote his folk tales.

Sleepy Hollow dates back to the early 17th century when Europeans explored the area and settled here. It was the Dutch who gave the city its original name Slapershaven, which means Sleeper's Haven. It was renamed Sleepy Hollow in 1996 and is now known for the bustle of the infamous headless knight. Although the story written by Irving was fictitious, it was based on stories, facts and real stories that told people the story of the ghosts of the city.

Along Route 9 we reach the cemetery of Sparta, where visitors and passers-by saw unusual sightings. Incredible things like fog, lights dancing on the ground and floating on the graves. Those who stayed for a while heard voices from afar but saw no one. As you can see, the dead do not rest here.

Back in Sleepy Hollow, you can visit a house where Washington Irving, named Sunnyside, took office in 1835. The house is on the banks of the Hudson River and a small secret path leads from the house to the banks of the river. People have seen the apparitions on the house and on the property. Irving's grandchildren were seen cleaning the house. Many people say they saw Irving and why not when he was happy to live here and happy to call Sleepy Hollow at home.

Next, take a look at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where Washington Irving's last home is located. Other famous people buried here include Andrew Carnegie, William Rockefeller, Walter Chrysler and even Elizabeth Arden. One has seen an appearance walking among the gravestones, and those who have roamed here say they have heard silent and inexplicable whispers.

Take a look at the old Dutch church and the cemetery. The cemeteries are among the oldest in the United States. If you want to be really scared, this is the place for you. They say the ever-popular headless pilot can be seen clearly to break these motifs, making it easier to stay on top. Among the graves, there is one for Eleanor Van Tassel Brush, which Irving used as a personality in her story called Katrina and the others for Abraham Martling, which translates into the character of Brom Bone.

Of course, other people have also lost their heads. Between Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown you will find Patriot's Park. It was the place where the Americans captured a decent Hessian soldier during the American Revolutionary War. The soldier was sentenced to execution and immediately beheaded. Now a headless apparition wanders through the park. Irving has included this soldier legend in its history.

A trek to Sleepy Hollow will take you on a walk around the universe of ghosts in case you set out to examine.
