I'm Keith Morrison, and this is episode three of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

We last left our hero, Iqabod Crane, trading late-night ghost stories with fellow guests at the Van Tassal Party.

The ghosts were said to gather around a giant tree called Andres Tree,

named after a British soldier who was caught there and later hanged.

Big about himself was a strong believer in spirits and hauntings.

He was easily spooked by forest sounds,

as he made his way home at night.

But on this night, Iqabod was on cloud nine.

He'd spent most of the evening gorgeing on delicious food

and dancing his heart out,

with a woman he'd fallen head over heels for,

the beautiful and rich Katrina Van Tassel.

His biggest rival for Katrina's affection,

brambones,

had passed the time sulking in a corner,

as Iqabod and Katrina tore up the dance floor.

Yes, Iqabod was on the verge of getting everything he wanted,

a beautiful wife, a mansion of a home,

and all the riches that came with it.

All that was left was to get Katrina's blessing.

And so as the party broke up, Iqabod lingered to speak alone with Katrina.

But things didn't go as he planned.
