Dateline NBC: Introducing Morrison Mysteries

It seemed so perfect, so full of promise.

Ye was the new teacher in town, friendly and ambitious.

She was the beautiful daughter of a rich landowner, a match made in heaven.

All he had to do was tell her so.

He would stake his claim at the biggest party of the year.

The whole town would gather round to see his triumph.

But what happened was not love, oh no, it was nothing like love.

A heart-stopping chase in the dead of night, a monster on horseback, closer and closer

a last horrible sight.

And then, silence.

What happened in that dark and lonely place is a question that's haunted a town for two

hundred years.

Maybe now, you'll know.

I'm Keith Morrison.

Come with me to the town of Sleepy Hollow, just north of New York City.

The first stop in our new podcast series, where we'll bring you classic works of fiction

stories so chilling, you may end up clutching your bed covers a little tighter at night.

And because it's Halloween, we're starting with Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy

Hollow about a man, a woman, a love triangle, and a dreadful haunting.

You can hear the whole story starting Monday, October 23rd, so settle in and hang on to

your headphones.

It's going to be a bumpy read.

This is Morrison Mysteries, an all-new podcast from Dateline.
