Since Washington Irvin published "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" in 1820, tales of a headless horseman have fascinated people all over the globe. But did you know that there is actually a story of one in McClean County, Kentucky? It all started with a skirmish during the Civil War. And strangely, the soldier didn't lose his head while fighting. It happened the next day in a completely unrelated way.
