Is the legend of sleepy hollow a real legend?

No. There's no such thing as headless people.AnswerJust because there is no such thing as headless people, does not set it back from being a real legend. A legend does not have to be true, in fact they almost never are. The definition of a legend is, "A story about a mythical or supernatural being". So, that would mean The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a "real" legend.

No, that is why it is referred to as a legend, it is fictitious. The Headless Horseman is not a fictional ghost character from The legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving.

The "Headless Horseman" is real so to speak but may have been based on a Dullahan from Irish mythology, although in these they use a human spine in place of a sword and are sometimes seen with wagons.
