What was the climax in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”?
clane Teacher High School – 10th Grade eNotes Editor The climax of the story comes toward the very end when Ichabod is on his final ride through Sleepy Hollow. After Brom and the other guests have marveled each other with ghost stories, Ichabod sets out on his ride home, but his over active imagination begins to eat at him as he remembers the local ghost stories. He begins to sense someone following him and he believes it to be the Headless Hessian. He quickens his pace to try and lose him, but he he finds he cannot escape. Ichabod remembers the headless horseman about to throw his head at him and then he is knocked unconscious by the “head” which was a pumpkin.
