  • Whoa! No Halloween hijinx in Sleepy Hollow

    SLEEPY HOLLOW, N.Y. (AP) — Police are poised to prevent any monstrous Halloween behavior in the New York village that hatched the Headless Horseman.Authorities in suburban Sleepy Hollow say they’ll disperse large

    groups of teenagers, if necessary, and confiscate eggs and shaving

    cream.

    The area served as the backdrop for Washington Irving’s 1819

    “Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which depicts the Headless Horseman

    charging after a terrified Ichabod Crane.

    In both Sleepy Hollow and Mount Vernon, parents are being asked

    to voluntarily have children under 17 at home by 8:30 p.m.

    Elsewhere in Westchester County, Yonkers has a mandatory curfew.

    It’s 10 p.m. for kids 11 and under; 10:30 p.m. ages 12 and 13; and

    11 p.m. for ages 14 to 16.
