The
narrator mentions that the town of Sleepy Hollow is quiet and it seems to be isolated, not
affected by the developments in the rest of the country. It paints a picture of Sleepy Hollow as
a town by itself, almost as if it is in another world. This helps to establish its own culture
and the narrator adds that the town's inhabitants are superstitious:
The whole neighborhood abounds with local tales, haunted spots, and
twilight superstitions: stars shoot and meteors glare oftener across the valley than in any
other part...
