Ichabod was on the case of the 'headless horseman' which he thought was nothing more than an overly exaggerated fable. Regardless, it was his job as a constable and after asking everyone no one gave him any answer but to go see the witch far into the woods. He was always a rather.. cowardly man yet he was brave at the same time. He never believed in all of that nonsense, but he went anyway in hope of information so when he arrived to your home he knocked.
