But it's a real place, storied and historical. Not to mention spooky. And it comes into its own this time of year. Halloween and Sleepy Hollow. Made for each other.
You can read all about it here: http://sleepyhollowcemetery.org/.
I found some wonderfully creepy photos by a brilliant photographer on line. I didn't bookmark the page and can't find them now. I will keep looking. They are stunning.
In the meantime, here's a broad daylight photo (neither brilliant nor stunning) from me:

I LUUV old cemetaries. I didn't realize Sleepy Hollow Cemetery was real! Thanks for the photos.
Great photo. I think the cemetery looks creepy even in the daylight!
Good idea posting pic - lets your readers see the place - but you should go back and take pictures when its dark - you know anything for your art - lo
Like the pictures. Brings back memories.
Nicki and Susanna~ Thanks so much for stopping by. Glad you found the cemetery appropriately creepy. Of course, as far as my hero and heroine are concerned, it's also kind of romantic and sexy! In a scary, eerie kind of way!
Liz~ Uh, yeahsureright. Not on your life!
I remember when they renamed North Tarrytown Sleepy Hollow... nice pic btw!
Janet ~ Um...should I ask what memories this brings back for you? Or is it best to let that skeleton stay in the closet?
Shoshanna ~ Actually, they re-renamed it, I think!
Cool pics! Looks spooky, even in the daylight!
Terri, I once spent an afternoon walking through the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and seeing touring Washington Irving's house.
