The Dark Destination of the Week for 9/21/07 is the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery & Old Dutch Burying Ground. With Halloween just around the bend, why not pay a visit to the home of the Headless Horseman? The Old Dutch Burying Ground is the fictional burial spot of the Horseman in Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The Sleepy Hollow Cemetery was built around the Burying Ground and Irving himself is buried there. A wonderfully gothic cemetery with immense mausoleums and numerous memorial statues, the cemetery offers tours and becomes part of the town's many Halloween festivities every October. The cemetery has a number of famous eternal occupants including the recently newsworthy interment of Leona Helmsley. I'd make a joke about one more witch being added to the cemetery, but comparing that woman to actual witches is insulting to them...not to mention that it might upset the spirit of Hulda, the cemetery's resident "witch".
