: Rip Van Winkle, Sleepy Hollow, not to mention all the other odd and weird stories Ive heard from the area.
: Just not a place I would want to go for an extended period.
Thank you for clarifying...I was becoming a bit paranoid. Well, my mom's family's from there...my aunt was mayor of a town there, and my mom and my uncle grew up there. I only know it as a happy place, where magical, wonderful things happened (according to my mom). I've been going there practically my entire life. So...yeah, I'm not too afraid. I've actually been to the town of Sleepy Hollow (or is it Tarrytown?) I saw the Sleepy Hollow cemetery...very cool. (that's kind of in a different part than where I usually go). Heard a lot of stories (some very odd and weird), not in a scary way though (:
