In the original short story by Washington Irving and the Walt Disney movie, the legend of the Headless Horseman says that he carries his own severed head. That Ichabod Crane gets hit by a pumpkin instead is a big clue that he's being attacked by a disguised Brom Bones instead of by the real Horseman.

Washington Irving mined European stories handed down by Dutch settlers in New York. He was in England for a while?
He practically invented the USA idea of Christmas & Santa, though Rudolph & Co invented for Wards, a USA dept. Store.
