"My name is Ichabod Crane. I was enlisted in the Queen's Royal Regiment, and sent to the American colonies to fight the Patriots. It didn't take long for me to have a change of heart. In 1781, I died on the battlefield, but I was saved by a mysterious spell cast upon me by my beloved wife Katrina. Now, I've been awakened more than two centuries later in a land I've no longer recognized - Sleepy Hollow."
— Ichabod Crane
Sleepy Hollow sign in 2013
Sleepy Hollow is a town in Westchester County in the state of New York, and has a population of 144,000. It is the main setting of the LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow, a storyline by Officer Candy Apple from CIS Productions.
Like many versions of this town in other adaptations of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving, this town was based on the real-life Sleepy Hollow, New York, though it is presented as a town much bigger and much more popularized than its real-life counterpart. It is also under the over-watch of an old secret council known as the Order of Flourish ever since the seemly death of Ichabod Crane.
Notable locations[]
Corbin's Archives, right across the Westchester County Police Department station, with a secret entrance underground through the Munition Tunnels, cramped with artifacts and books of secret US history. It serves as Ichabod Crane's and Abbie Mills's headquarters.

Trivia[]
Based on the deaths that have occurred in Sleepy Hollow, the population has decreased somewhat.
The real-life version of Sleepy Hollow, New York, was not named as such in 18th century. Originally incorporated as North Tarrytown in the late 19th century, in 1996 the village officially adopted the traditional name for the area. The village is known to many via "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", a short story about the local area and its infamous specter, the Headless Horseman, written by Washington Irving, who lived in Tarrytown and is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Owing to this story, as well as the village's roots in early American history and folklore, Sleepy Hollow is considered by some to be one of the "most haunted places in the world".
The original series of Sleepy Hollow, though set in and around the village through the centuries, greatly expanded its population to 144,000, as indicated by a sign at the beginning of the pilot episode, though several aerial shots of the actual village are incorporated into the series.
