A new tale woven with witchy skill from the threads of the Legend of Álmosvölgy: it's like revisiting a dear childhood friend who finally reveals all his secrets to us.

When Ichabod Crane, the new teacher, arrives in the secluded little village of Sleepy Valley, he immediately catches the attention of Katrina van Tassel. The girl, who is fond of books and music, soon takes singing lessons from the handsome young man, and their sympathy deepens into romance. However, the impoverished teacher has no chance of applying for the hand of the well-to-do farmer's daughter. Not so Brom van Brunt, the future heir of another local farm, whose approach to his daughter is worryingly welcomed by Katrina's father.

The young people's passionate relationship is fulfilled in the forest at night - where until late at night only the headless horseman galloped on his back, with a lighted pumpkin lantern in his hand and a sword at his side. It is whispered that Ichabod's loss was caused by the dark spirit of the long-beheaded Hessian mercenary: the young teacher disappears almost without a trace one day before All Saints. The distraught girl can only rely on her friend. Charlotte, ostracized by the village and considered a witch by many local residents based on Boney Brom's baseless accusations, helps Katrina find out what happened to her love, Ichabod, with medicinal herbs and other non-hazardous means.
