  1. Welcome to the Daily Sting!

  2. Beware…it’s October 31…Halloween… “When the spooks have a midnight jamboree, they break it up with fiendish glee. The ghosts are bad, but the one that’s cursed is the headless horseman; he’s the worst. That’s right, he’s a fright on Halloween night! When he goes a joggin’ ‘cross the land, holding his noggin in his hand. Demons take one look and groan, and they hit the road to parts unknown. Beware, take care he rides alone!” • From “The Headless Horseman,” The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949) The Legend of Sleepy Hollow resurfaces every year around Halloween. Washington Irving's 1820 tale of a headless horseman who terrorizes the real-life village of Sleepy Hollow is considered one of America's first ghost stories—and one of its scariest. https://www.history.com/news/legend-sleepy-hollow-headless-horseman
