Chapter 2: Town Onside
I didn't know what to make of this Jersey-lore about this so-called Headless Horseman. According to the parents who indulged my nature-curiosity about that suburbia-area's campfires of superstitions and keratin I think, this so-called Headless Horseman was (somehow) 'spotted' by varied residents and pedestrians, but only at night. According to chatter, the Horseman was seen as a shadowy-silhouette riding across with a menacing road, wielding some axe-like weapon and simply boasting his threat to everyday 'consciousness' of Earthling life...but apparently with no head on his poor shoulders.
There was one story in which a resident spotted the Headless Horseman near a shopping plaza near 11pm simply seeing who was wandering around as a Jersey-pedestrian after shops closed their doors and shut their windows (tight!). There was another story in which a librarian disappeared but whose notebook was left-behind, containing 'doodles' of the Horseman (hmmm). Another story was of a couple, quite-young and gorgeous, of a sad-note tale, relayed of course by the survivor who insisted her boyfriend was decapitated and whose corpse was carried off into some 'dominion' of midways-kaleidoscope by an infuriated Headless Horseman who seemed irritated by the young man's chuckling laugh about his girlfriend's pretty-hair (damn).
