Silly question. Are there 2 productions of this classic with Heather Ordover narrating both? She does the best job by far but it seems like I detect a slight variance in her voice on the possible 2 productions in question. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve listened to this production by Chilling Entertainment with Heather. I can’t get enough. Love it!!
AS "NORM LOR" MY REAL NAME I MUST HAVE LISTENED TO THIS PARTICULAR VERSION BY HEATHER 30 TIMES AS THIS ONE STORY EMBODIES HALLOWEEN 100%. NOT ONLY THIS BUT DISNEY'S RENDITION WITH BING CROSBY NARRATING IT HAS NO EQUAL. TOO BAD MY OLD PC'S DISK PLAYER DOESN'T WORK AS I BOUGHT THE DVD. NO WORRIES ,I'LL BUY A USED DVD PLAYER!!
I can remember watching this 1949 cartoon growing up. With my neighbor's boys who have always felt like brothers to me. The first time I saw this at their house I was maybe four or five years old. Back then I had no idea it is a true story. With names of real people who's identities changed a little. This very old legend dates back to the late 1700's. Supposedly a Hessian soldier lost his head in battle. It is believed his spirit haunted the location of real Sleepy Hollow.
Enjoyed the performance. You all have brought back the art of storytelling. You don’t need high tech, just good story; good narrator ; good voice actors; music and sound effects and the recipe is complete.
Everyone needs to understand classic literature built a foundation, much different to what we call a foundation today. Every point makes the story what it is and what it was.
I decided to copy 7 paste this from another audio version of this story (from the same content creator). Sums up my feelings perfectly. I put the poster's name to give credit where credit is due: RadiusZero 2 years ago (edited) Kinda sad that most of the people complaining about the 'lengthy' narrative likely have no idea this audio is taken straight from original work. I liked the heavily condensed Disney cartoon too. But it would help to pick up the book first, if only to know the narrative actually WAS this long. I realize in today's digital fast world most people have the attention span of 15 minutes; max. But it would help to remember these stories were written in a time before TV and internet. As such, these narratives were detailed and atmospheric since they were intended to aid readers/listeners and provide an hour's worth of entertainment.
Read this last year. I actually liked the Disney version better tbh. This story is great, but it has some very slow and out of place moments. Otherwise, great job!
Michael Sorbello: Horror Stories Aww,sorry, that you dont like this as much as the cartoon. I like both things at the same level myself. &,particularly, since this story comes directly from the original text it is very much a fascination to listen to in all its detail. & the narration is perfection. But of course,everyone has their own personal enjoyment of this story. So I can respect that too. Its great you took time out to listen to it,tho;)
Soporific narration. Not sure if I miss crisp enunciation or if it doesn’t work for me because the register is so low that she sounds like she’s purring. What was the intention? And why use a female voice?
Honestly, I was trying to keep the narration quiet-the way you’d tell a scary story to kids under a blanket with a flashlight-so purr is not far off. Unsure why they honored me with the narration-possibly because I’ve hosted CraftLit podcast since 2006. I’m used to older language.
best version by far! and there are tons!
I LOVE THIS SITE AND MY FAVORITE RENDITION OF THIS GREAT TALE IS BY HEATHER!!
Have to say, this is gonna become a staple for me. Great production and Heather Ordover's narration is top notch. Absolutely loved this.

One of my favorite stories, and super well narrated! I also love all the extra voices thrown in! This was a treat! :D
The “extra voices” are called a cast as in “full-cast audio.”
excellent telling of this story

“Haunted” past tense? Is the haunting over?

Wonderful reading! Fantastic atmosphere, and some great humor worked in as well!

This helped me out a lot because reading the story by itself was confusing
You guys always do so well with this.
Heather Ordover can read a manual and make it sound captivating.
Gotta love the classics.
well the narration is far superior than the version with Glenn close needed more than a static screen shot though.
this is way better than the movie adaptations.
God I love this story!
I don't remember it to be so up lifting.
Can someone explain the beginning
Which part?
Irving’s description of the place or when you get to the people?
Abraham sounds like Arthur Morgan.

We decided to do the original. :)
