Episode description

When Jill visits the cemetery, she may be in for a different encounter than she was expecting. But it’s at Jack’s “haunted” farm where the true horror begins. Commemorating the 200th anniversary of Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” The Hollow is a modern take on the timeless story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. When three 6th graders at Sleepy Hollow Middle School stumble upon a real-life ghost story, they find themselves on the trail of the Headless Horseman himself. Is he truly a terrifying ghoul, or has he been misunderstood for all these years? For more great shows, visit GZMshows.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dad? Tell me it's not the wind or my imagination. Say something. Jill? Jack! Don't sneak up like that! We didn't sneak. You okay, Jill? Adam... Yeah. I was just visiting my dad when I... When you what, Jill? Forget it. What are you guys doing in the cemetery? We came to your house. When you weren't there, I thought we might find you here. Sorry about your dad, Jill. Thanks. It's been a couple of years now, but...

I still like to come here and feel close to him. There it is again. The rumbling. I thought it was my dad. No, I think maybe not. I know what you're thinking. It's not him. Him? Him who? The horseman. The headless horseman? It's not. We'll see. Whoever you are, we're right here! What are you doing? What is she doing? I should have warned you about Jill. Here we go.

Every town has its ghosts. But in Sleepy Hollow, as Halloween draws near, the wall between the land of the living and the dead comes down. That's when he rides again. The ghost of the headless horseman. Gen Z Media presents... The Hollow, an eight-part audio adventure inspired by Washington Irving's timeless Halloween tale in honor of its 200th anniversary. Episode 2. The Graveyard.

that gravestone? Yes! Why aren't you? Jill doesn't hide. And by the way, it's not big enough to hide you anyway. It's getting closer. Closer! We're not afraid We're afraid of you! Yes, we are. We're very afraid. Wait. That's not a ghost. Pick up those feet! It's Coach Bones and the football team!

What are you three doing here in the cemetery? They were showing me around, sir. You're Nelson, the new kid. Impressive size. You ever think of playing football, son? Not my thing. I like to focus on my academics. Waste if you ask me. Jill, does your mother know you're out here at night? She's busy taking Mr. Crane on a tour of Sleepy Hollow. Mr. Crane, huh? Why don't we go home, guys? Sure, let's go. Come on, Adam. Okay team back to the school See you soon dad I love you forever and a day

It's Jess from GCM Shows. Right now, we're running a listener survey to make sure we're bringing you ads and partnerships that you actually like. We ran a survey last year and it helped us so much. I'm not even joking. We learned that a lot of our listeners have pets and that helped us get sponsorships for pet owners. And that's just one example of how you've helped us already and how you can help us again. So.

Help us out by going to gzmshows.com slash survey and taking a super quick survey to tell us more about yourself and what you like. Once again, that's gzmshows.com slash survey. Thank you. This is it, Adam. Welcome to Van Buren's Haunted Hollow. The barn turns into a haunted house for Halloween. That's the corn maze over there. So, people come to your farm to get scared on purpose? Why?

Because it's fun. Not for me. Ah! Witch! Sorry, that's my dad's new toy. I couldn't resist. Personally, I don't think ghosts are a joke. Jill, I mean it. If there are spirits in Sleepy Hollow, then they're hanging around this world for a reason. They must have something more to do or say. Ghosts have something to say? Jill. The stuff my father does here on the farm has nothing to do with real people who have passed on. I'm not just talking about my dad. It's any ghosts or spirits. I mean...

Even the Headless Horseman rides for a reason, right? You think he's real? He comes back to look for his... missing head? Did someone say, listen, heard? What is it? Is it a goblin? Who dares trespass in Vampiren's haunted hollow? Hi, Bob. How's it going, Bob? Wait, you know this thing? This thing is Bob Loomis. Take off your mask and say hello to our new friend, Adam, Bob. Hello, Adam. Nice to meet you. Bob works on the farm for my dad.

As a goblin? Goblin, ghoul, werewolf, mummy, skeleton, you name it. I'm still hoping one of these days he lets me play the horseman himself. Dare to dream. I'm out here setting up some of the attractions for the haunted hayride. gonna be bigger and scarier than ever for the 200th anniversary of the legend two cars coming curious tourists no doubt i'll give him a scare so they spread the word

Wait, that's my mom's car. And Mr. Crane. We got this, Bob. Okay, I'll hop back on the tractor. See you around. Adam, make sure you keep track of that head of yours. I hear he's on the hunt for a new one. Jill, where are you going now? I want to hear what they're saying. Might as well go with her. I am not great at sneaking around. Tell me, how exactly did you come to be named... Shh! Stop pushing! You can hear us! Hello?

Who's there? Come on out, Jill. How did you know it was us? Just a guess. Hi, Jack. And you're Adam. Hi, Mrs. Mathers. Why don't I give you a minute, Kate? I'll take a look around the farm, if you don't mind, Jack. Knock yourself out. Be right back. Jill, what are you doing out here? Oh... I... I asked Jill and Adam to help with setting up some new attractions. I see. Yeah, you know me. Anything to help with the scares. How's your night been? You and...

Mr. Crane having a nice time? Okay. Why don't we head home? Happy to give you a ride too, Adam. Throw your bikes in the back. Oh, thanks. I wasn't looking forward to riding home in the dark. We'll be there in a second, okay, Mom? Sure. I'll go say goodnight to Mr. Crane. Ugh, I don't know who's worse, him or Coach Bones. I know it's been a while since my dad died, but you don't think your mom actually likes either of them, do you? I really hope not. Uh, we should go before the rain starts.

What is that? Something's coming from the corn maze. It's Bob, right? Can't fool me twice. Wait. What's that on your costume? It almost looks like... It's real blood! Quick, help me get his mask off. Look, there's a bad cut on the side of his head. And is that... Pumpkin? Bob, what happened? Who did this to you? Who was it, Bob? The horseman. For more awesome pods, go to gzmshows.com.
