Genel bilgiler
Başsız Süvari, Amerikalı yazar Washington Irving'in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow adlı öyküsünden, The Book of Sketches adlı kısa öykü koleksiyonuna dahil edilen ve edebiyat ve çeşitli filmler sayesinde Amerikan folklorunun ünlü bir efsanesine dönüşen kurgusal bir karakterdir.
Başsız süvari efsanesi, Amerikan Bağımsızlık Savaşı sırasında Sleepy Hollow'da başlar. Geleneksel folklora göre, Şövalye, 1776'da White Plains Savaşı sırasında öldürülen Hessen bir topçuydu. Bir Amerikan top mermisi tarafından kafası kesildi ve diğer askerler çabucak götürülürken kafasının parçalanmış kalıntıları savaş alanında kaldı. Sonunda onu eski Hollanda kilisesi Sleepy Hollow'un mezarlığına gömdüler, her Cadılar Bayramı gecesinde kötü bir hayalet gibi yükselip kayıp kafasını öfkeyle arıyordu.
