      I think it was meant to be ambiguous but Irving pretty much implies it was Bram. I wish it was a little more vague, like bram only followed ichabod for so long before the real horseman took over or something like that.

    • @doomsday2703
      @doomsday2703 3 года назад +10

      There’s a Hallmark film that goes along the lines of the book and it depicts Brom initially chasing Ichabod before getting knocked out. Then the real horseman shows up. It’s a good look at the story’s ambiguity in terms of depicting what really happened while everyone else is in the dark.
