About the show: When bumbling schoolmaster Ichabod Crane (Liam Speros) arrives in the peaceful little hamlet of Sleepy Hollow, he is greeted with cautionary tales of ghosts and goblins, a favorite being that of a beheaded Revolutionary War soldier who still rides at night in search of his head. Crane, being the superstitious type, believes every word.In no time, Ichabod settles into his role as teacher, disciplinarian, choir leader, and rotating houseguest. It doesn't take long for him to develop a crush on Katrina Van Tassel (Heather Taylor), the lovely daughter of the town's wealthiest family. But Katrina already has a suitor, Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt (Michael Travis Risner), notorious for his boisterous personality, love of pranks, and great skill at wielding a sword. Tensions rise as the romantic rivalry brews, culminating in a terrifying midnight ride and the mysterious disappearance of Ichabod Crane.Videos
