Get What Happens To Ichabod Crane At The End Of The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow

At the end of the movie, Ichabod and Katrina, with Lady Van Tassel and the Headless Horseman chasing them, find themselves at the Tree of the Dead. Ichabod manages to get the skull away from Lady Van Tassel and tosses it to the Headless Horseman. That breaks the spell she has over him but doesn't break their bond.

After a later conversation with Katrina leads Ichabod to believe that she was using him to make Brom jealous, Crane leaves the party, heartbroken. On his way home he has a terrifying encounter with the very headless horseman Brom described, and though his horse is found the next morning, Ichabod is never seen again.

When the dancing ended, people started telling stories - ghost stories. Ichabod listened to them all. And Ichabod believed them. That was one of the things about Ichabod Crane; he believed in ghosts.

Traditional folklore holds that the Horseman was a Hessian trooper who was killed during the Battle of White Plains in 28th October 1776. He was decapitated by an American cannonball, and the shattered remains of his head were left on the battlefield while his comrades hastily carried his body away.

Because the ghost is incapable of crossing this bridge, Ichabod assumes that he is safe. However, before Ichabod can react, the Headless Horseman throws his severed head at him, knocking him from the back of his own horse and sending him "tumbling headlong into the dust."

Washington Irving doesn't elaborate – Ichabod's hat and a smashed pumpkin are discovered near the church bridge the morning after the party and Ichabod is nowhere to be found and is never heard from again.

After his disappearance, Katrina marries Brom, and Ichabod's sad ghost is rumored to haunt his old schoolhouse. Katrina creates tension between the protagonist and the antagonist, so that it is even more devastating when Ichabod is defeated and Katrina chooses Brom.

Once pursued, Brom actually gives Ichabod his only hope for keeping his head from the Hessian Rider. But we soon discover that Brom was wrong about the protective qualities of the bridge, as Ichabod makes it across, to presumed safety, and is still beheaded by the Horseman, who “pass[es] by like a whirlwind.”

His service eventually led to his confrontation with the Horseman, the result of which put him into a stasis for over 200 years, awakening in the year 2013. There he found his partner, Abbie Mills, the Second Witness.
