The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Finding The Real Life Locations 4K 

You can just tell that you two are unbelievably in love.

Jessica is looking especially beautiful in this video, absolutely love her outfit

My oldest ancestor in America was the first minister of the Old Dutch Church. He was also the minister for the Dutch church in Tappan, NY where British spy John Andre was tried. I've always loved my family's connection to this church and legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Our planet is so beautiful. Who needs Avatar when we have such gorgeous scenes on mother earth. We need to start treating it better. Love your vlogs guys.

I love that you included snippets of the cartoon. Bing Crosby's voice was amazing.

It’s so clear how much love there is between you two. ❤️ and I absolutely love Jessica’s “Baby Ghoul” nickname. It’s precious.

Wow. I love the story, too. I'm sure I saw the animated version many, many years ago (I'm almost 70 now). But I really love the Johnny Depp movie, especially the special effects. I didn't learn until a few years ago that there really was a Sleepy Hollow. I don't know why it never occurred to me that they'd have Halloween festivities! DUH! It's gotta go on my bucket list!

I like to consider myself a history buff, but I had no idea that Sleepy Hollow was a real place. This was so much fun, thank you!

Your content is like nothing else on here , you guys should be super proud of your work

Greetings, Autumn People.

With gas prices so insane, work and helping take care of my elderly mother I really appreciate you guys and your videos. Thank you guys so much for bringing me along on your journey's. We have similar tastes and your videos are so great. Thanks again and much love!

What makes this story interesting is that the Washington Irving story made Ichabod Crane a schoolteacher; the movie, Tim Burton did a fabulous job with the tale as he turned Sleepy Hollow into an early version of Peyton Place with Lady Van Tassel as the 'Village Bicycle' so-to-speak, and Ichabod Crane as a constable investigating the multiple beheadings.

Who comes on and dislikes these vids...what's not to like? Living in the UK I can only dream of visiting locations like this. Thanks guys!

haha I like that she was tracking a bunch of leaves. That just proves she is an elemental part of the Fall season.

As a child I grew up in Upstate, way Upstate right where the indent is from Lake Ontario. I had been to Sleepy Hollow being an absolute fan of horror from the ripe old age of 5...that would place it at 1965! You missed the Rip VanWinkle house also in Sleepy Hollow! I absolutely adore "Baby Ghoul" as you are me back in the day! I love everything about the two of you and your precious love for each and tremendous storytelling! Long story short I now reside in Farmington, New Mexico...high mountain desert. Breathtakingly beautiful in it's ancient savage ways but oh so different from NY. There are times I miss it so bad I hurt...until winter of course. Which I adore but my body does not. I remember the days of sledding on "Rose Red' on the back street and shaking up a root beer to blast in the then pristine snow for the best sno-cone ever! Oh my......how I miss it. At 63 Baby Ghoul reminds me that physically we age but for us fortunate ones we will always be a child at heart...never change and you sir spin a delightful tale so worth listening to! 👻🦹🧟‍♀🫂🎃🎃🎃🎃⚰⚰🪦🪦you get the picture...giggle!! God bless my Halloween Brethren!

I just discovered your videos and each one that I have watched just endears me to you both more and more. This one especially is amazing for me. My grandfather's birthday was on Halloween. My mom, pregnant with me, my dad and my 10 mo old brother was at his house celebrating, my dad was watching the Wonderful World of Disney showing the Legend of Sleepy Hollow when my mom started labor pains. My dad insisted she could wait for the end of the show and then he took her to the hospital where I was born just moments after they got there. So I share my Halloween birthday with my grandfather and my love for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with my dad! And now I have this awesome video to share with h as well! Thank you for what you do!

The vibe in that area isn’t just “different” at night, it takes on a life of its own. Anyone who’s spent time in Sleepy Hollow know exactly what I’m talking about!

Fun fact, Washington Irving was the first American author to be known outside of the United States. In addition to Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Winkle, and the biography of George Washington. Yes, I did check this out just to verify. I also learned to speed type with his work. The first chapter of Sleepy Hollow is the five-minute test. I really love the way you present these places. I am sorry if I sound a little nerdy.

I had no idea sleepy hollow was an actual phisical place! Well done guys! 👏

I grew up in New England and I miss the smells. The minute this video started. I could smell the air and the soil and the leaves and the water. Great memory trigger! I may have to move there. :)

I live in the area and I was there on Saturday Oct 23rd. Took their haunted hayride. It is just legendary. Best Halloween hayride I've ever been to, not because it was scary, but because it was legendary and historic. Loved it. We went over that wooden bridge in the cemetery and as spooky as the cemetery itself was, the highlight of the hayride was the headless horseman who appears right at the end of the hayride.

Sleepy Hollow used to be called North Terrytown . However a few yeas ago they change their name to Sleepy Hllow to cash in on the tourist trade. This is also where Washington Irving is buried. He had this town in mind when he wrote the story.

I love that you guys came to sleepy hollow. You were only about 20 mins from my house , I wish I had met you two. You definitely have to come back and do the night tour of the Cemetery.

I look forward to seeing everything you do, the two of you are perfect together ❤

I'm so glad you guys were able to this. Sleepy Hollow is one of my dream destinations as well as Salem, Massachusetts. I wish I could do both in one spooky trip.

It doesn't surprise me that your first date was on Halloween:) You two are spooktackular! Hahaha:) tons of love for channel/family:)

This is amazing! Sleep Hollow is my favorite Halloween story. I didn't know any of these characters were real people! Thank you SO much for this video!!

This is by far my favorite episode! Sleepy Hollow the movie is great, the actual town is superb. I love the way you showed it.

Absolutely one of my favorite stories, Disney movies, and motion pictures starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci‼️😃 Thank you for this episode, GLC! ☺️ 17:40 This area reminds me of Sligo Creek Park in Washington D.C. 21:21 Awww. This is THE BEST part of the segment. ☺️💕 What a beautiful couple.

Sleepy Hollow is my favorite fall/Halloween story. The book, The old Disney cartoon, the Tim Burton film and I loved the tv show from 2013-2016. The first couple seasons were great. Nothing says fall like the many versions of the story of Ichabod and the Horseman.

These two are adorable. You can tell they're deeply in love and have, albeit creepy, shared interests, but the history behind it all is so interesting. Thank you for sharing your historical journeys.

Imagine walking around that town on a chilly foggy autumn night. It is enough to set your imagination ablaze.

Great job on highlighting the village. My Grandfather's birthplace and home is just down the road. My family kept it till the 2000s. So I used to spend alot of time in that area as a kid.

My husband and I got married in Halloween this year. We watch all of your videos and now want to go on a lot of road trips!! You guys are awesome!!!

The love they have for history and each other is amazing

Hi my name is Kim and my fiancé Joe showed me a few of your videos and I am hooked. I love how you guys get to travel to old movie sites and share your experience and a little more history of every site. I can’t wait for more adventures and I love your wife’s hair color very beautiful. Safe travels to your next adventure site can’t wait to watch the next video love ya

Great video. My wife and I go there for Halloween almost every year. I highly recommend to take the lantern tour at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery during Halloween time. I think they have tours as late as 9-10 pm . Everyone on the tour carries oil lanterns and the creepy factor of the cemetery gets so much better that late at night.Also, you hear people screaming in the distance at the haunted house mixed with chainsaws. The highlight: they bring you inside one of the locked tombs where they filmed a scene from the 1970 film "House of Dark Shadows" . It was the crypt of Barnabas Collins. Also, check out Lyndhurst Estate that also was the filming location for the film. Sunnyside is great on the weekends during Halloween. They have a shadow puppet play, story tellers, etc.

I LOVE the Passion and Enthusiasm you two have about this stuff ESPECIALLY a place like THIS! In the "Behind the Scenes" for the DVD for "Sleepy Hollow", Christina Richie says that "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is really America's Very FIRST "Fairy Tale!" And actually... she is VERY Correct! :D

Jessica's love of leaves makes me happy 🍁 Whether she's touching them when she passes a tree, stomping on piles of them on the ground or collecting them on her dress, it just makes me smile

Where I grew up, we had a creek and a crick. It was a very.small town. We watch The Legend of Sleepy Hollow every Halloween. The version narrated by Bing Crosby.

This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched. Great job of articulating your passion and knowledge and love of Autumn 🍂

Jessica is so adorable. Watching her crunch the leaves was great. Your videos just keep getting better. I love the longer videos! Keep being Grimm!

The first of my "THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW" video collection!

Jessica, I LOVE your look in this video! Gorgeous 🥰. My heart melted when your husband told you how beautiful you are ❤️. You guys are adorable!

I absolutely love you two!! You’re both so damn cute!! I’m such a history buff, and you guys make learning history so much fun!! Continued fun on your adventures, and I’ll be watching!!! Blessed be 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

No matter what kinda day I’m having I can put a video of two of my favorite people and watch there amazing videos. Ty for such wonderful content. It’s always amazing!!!!

Awwww you two are so cute together!

I actually went to "Washington Irving Grade School from Kindergarten to the Middle of 5th grade. In 3rd grade, my teacher Mrs. Thompson, wanted us to do a "Halloween Book Report". And I didn't know what to do mine on... So SHE suggested that I look up the School's "Name sake". When I asked her "WHY?" She said, "Joe... Trust me... You'll See?!" THIS Lead me to a LIFE LONG LOVE of his works INCLUDING of course "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" but ALSO Horror Movies, Books and Stories and also of course MY FAV Holiday... "HALLOWEEN"! :D THIS is on my "Bucket List" to go hopefully, Next Halloween?! :D

Outstanding. My favorite Halloween story & movie. I love how the town owns it, too.

The Travel Channel should give you two a show of your own. You guys make every tour of whatever place you are currently visiting absolutely fascinating! Thank you. It's always fun to watch 🤩

I met you several years ago in Savannah at the Sorrel house. I have had a 10 year fixation on that house that caused me to visit Savannah about 10 times and launched about 10 years of personal research into the house, the first owner, the architect, and the alleged haunting. But back to when I met you- you seemed to have one or more heavy attachments on you that have since moved on. Your spirit is much lighter, and I am relieved to see that. Peace be with you.

I love how your wife is crossing the bridge and the leaves are attached to her beautiful dress. It’s as if they are saying take me with your

I just found this channel, Im AMAZED how good you guys are.

I was born on April 3rd as well but in 1959....And I love Washington Irving's work....GREAT video. I love the history's you tell as well. Thanks and keep up the good works...

Jessica's outfit is to DIE for!

I love the story of sleepy hollow, the headless horseman, and Ichabod Crane 🔥🎃🐎

This was just brilliant ..What a fascinating way of making the story come to life .Love how you did this and your lovely wife looked really lovely in her black dress and hat.Thoroughly enjoyed this one..Thank you both 🥰

I love re-watching this episode. This is one of the best ones you have ever done in my opinion. I have loved this legend since childhood, first by watching the Disney animated tale and later actually reading it!

You should have gone up the Hudson a little further. Kinderhook Ny also contributed to the story. Washington Irving based it more on that area. The school there is Ichabod Crane School District.

Wow, didn’t realize how gorgeous this place really is.

As a city dweller, thank you for capturing and sharing these inspiring natural scenes and sounds!

I love your passion for life!! Watching Baby Ghoul crush leaves makes me smile!! Thank you!!

Guess I have a new favorite RU-vid Channel! Sleepy Hollow is the only "horror" movie I absolutely love. I love both the Disney Version and the Johnny Depp Version!

Crik here too 😂 I'm with Jessica on the level of leaf crunchiness. So disappointing when they look crunchy but aren't. 😂

Thank you SO much for this video. Even though this place is pretty much #1 on my bucket list, it is doubtful that I’ll ever get to visit. As such, I TRULY appreciate your wonderful and thorough tour. The best part is your enthusiasm and interaction with the lovely Jessica. I feel your appreciation for this beautiful, historic place and 110% agree!! 🍁 🎃 🌚

You can see how spooky it could be at night 🎃

Watching this as inspired me to watch the film 🎥 from 2000 with Johnny Depp 🇬🇧

I'm so Happy I found your Channel! Your Videos are undoubtedly some of the Very Best Historic/Famous Locations Videos I've ever watched! VERY Pro! We've been to a couple of these Locations, but never got to see the kinds of things you have shown! I'd have to take a $25-$50 Tour Group to see the same things you have in your Videos! Thanks so much for Sharing with us!

My favorite story of all times!!...Thank you for taking the time to go there and show us this beautiful place!

Washington Irving lived just a few miles south of Sleepy Hollow in nearby Irvington. His house is called, “Sunnyside”. It’s right on the river. They used to have wonderful tours at Christmas time, complete with bon fire and hot cider. Those were the days. Also down Beekman Ave. was the old site of GM. Again, right on the water. My Grandpa worked for GM from 1935 to 1963. You also should have gone inside the Old Dutch Church. Your views would have loved to see the inside. Every Halloween season inside the church they have a reading of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The reader is a famed actor and his performance is breathtaking. I’ve lived her all my life. 63 years.

The grave of the actual Ichabod Crane is in a tiny cemetery in the woods in Staten Island NY. You can actually go and see it. Crane was apparently a friend of Irving’s and the inspiration for the character.

Just discovered your channel and am currently binging. Love how you have an insightful respectful and intelligent way of presenting some pretty interesting topics. It's also pretty cool how your appearance seems to scare people or at least draw some gawkers to stare .one thing I should mention is how beautiful your wife's hair matches the fall colors in this video. Happy to subscribe .

I seriously love you guys ❤️

The creek is beautiful.I like the way you talk to your wife.Its so loving and respectful.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I am pretty sure I didn't see the animated Sleepy Hollow film, but my earliest memory from when I was a kid, was seeing the Scooby Doo episode of it, which I love.

This was great guys! I live on Long Island NY and have been up to Sleepy Hollow several times. It's an awesome place to visit..so rich with history. Doesn't hurt that this is my all time fav story. Washington Irving's estate is really cool as well. Maybe when you move to Sleepy Hollow you'll have the time to see it..ha

I’m going to have to reread the book! Also those Maple leaves are huge.

You two are so adorable. ❤️ Thanks for sharing your adventures .

Hope you and your wife don't stop doing these videos, love them. I've never been to any of these places, I'd love to be doing what you all are doing, but since I can't this is the next best thing. Thank you guys for all you do. Your wife is really cute, hi Jessica.

Bro you have this history telling down ! Just found your channel somehow this morning on a rainy Sunday and I’ve watched about 5 in a row and I never do that ! You gotta gift man ... keep on keeping on. Salute!

I very rarely comment on RU-vid videos but wanted to say how much I enjoy grimmlifecollective. Such a lovely couple and diverse, interesting content. However what prompted me to comment was just how well shot and edited your videos are. I know nothing about camera’s but whatever you’re using it is superbly clear. Long may your channel continue! Best of wishes from UK 🇬🇧

I came across this video because of doing Sleepy Hollow research. At first, I thought it to be just another personal vacay video but it turned out pretty cool! Beautiful dress! Thanks for sharing!

Just found your channel and its like a blast from the past....I lived in NY and went to Sleepy Hollow...will never forget what I read on one of the headstones...did you see this one...sends chills to the bones.. Reader behold as you pass by As you are now so once was I As I am now so you will be Prepare for death and follow me!

I'd take a trip with these two. Just discovered the channel, very addictive content.

Great video y’all!! You have some amazing Halloween/fall videos this year!! 🎃👻

I really enjoy your videos. They are very interesting, well researched and good visuals. This was my favorite episode from you two.

You should totally be a jr high history teacher. The kids would love learning!

"That perfect tortilla chip crunch"....LoL I love fall leaves too, the smell, the colors, and their sounds! Another great video guys!

This is absolutely breath taking I love history and it looks a lot like where I live in New Zealand. I'm amazed how legit and real the story is from where it's based. Amazing !

I stumbled upon this channel because of the Danzig spooky bricks video. You guys must have the best time checking out all these awesome places. I can thank my intrest in heavy music for finding this. Graveyards, abandoned buildings, famous places! Coolest job ever!

The legend of swept hollow has always been my favorite Halloween story ever since I first heard it and seen the cartoon as a small child back in the early 80s. I so wish I could visit the real sleepy hollow.

"Fallen leaves!?!" You've got to be from California, lol. I did the same thing when I moved to the South from California: Falling leaves , fire flies smell of wood smoke... yes, I was Just like a kid. It's those little things.. You two are so sweet together! ❤

You guys really rock! Thanks for making these videos. I am hooked. The narration is very good and you do a great service to the local businesses that you profile.

I love you guys. I can always count on you for an extra awesome experience. 💙

I'm not sure if anyone commented this but if you drive over the old bridge back in the cemetery, it sounds like horses galloping. Very surreal!

Your enthusiasm for the topic in your videos is contagious. Thanks for making and sharing, and for the research you do for each. Much enjoyed and appreciated.

I have to say that this video was amazing. I love the story of sleepy hollow. And you guys taking us there brings it to life. Sorry to know some places were closed. But all n all I enjoyed ever minute. Jessica's dress with the leaves stick to her was cute. It too brought some of the story to life as well. 🥰. Onto the next you guys. Hugs from me to you both. 🎃
