Headless Horseman
The Headless Horseman is a fictional undead and ghost character in Washington Irving's short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Since tales of undead, headless horsemen were spread in south-western Germany it's likely that Irving was inspired by tales of a Hessian headless horseman while travelling in Germany.
