It is the early 19th Century in the new country of The United States of America, and the Village of Sleepy Hollow is shrouded in mystery and superstition. Twenty years have passed since the fateful night when Ichabod Crane vanished, leaving only whispers of the Headless Horseman and other sinister forces lurking in the shadows. But the darkness never truly left Sleepy Hollow…

Sleepy Hollow delves into the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the village of Sleepy Hollow and surrounding area in 1810, where the boundary between the Natural and the Supernatural is thin.
