If you haven't seen Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and you like the Headless Horseman I do recommend watching it.

I think it goes to show how relatively small nations like Ireland and Scotland and their tales and mythology have played such a huge role in stories around the World.

Legend has if you go out on Halloween you'll meet the horseless headsman. But just give him a snickers bar and he'll go back to normal.

[TokiTheMimic]

I love Irish and Celtic folklore (knowing very well they aren't the same) and various mythologies, can't wait for more videos. If I may suggest a Tír na nÓg and/or Banshees.

I clicked off an Achievement Hunter video when I saw this. I am not disappointed as a Dullahan is my favorite Fae out of Irish/Celtic lore or any lore for that matter. So thank you for covering this!

[kevindenis]

Can definitely see Dullahan being a member of the Wild Hunt from Norse mythology. Once it’s after you, there’s no escape, might as well say your prayers to whatever gods you believe in because you’re done for. Beware of the horsemen whom bear no head upon his shoulders, yet let loose a phantom laugh that carries on the wind.

Durarara is where I first heard about this thing.

Damn just saying someone’s name and drop dead? Talk about op. Lol

1:54 Dude, female headless horseman should be on a metal album cover.

[viciouslosers]

can you cover some creatures From Hawaiian Mythology?
Like the Mū. witch described as being sort of a mix between a water imp and a vampire.
The Moho, witch said to be giant lizards
Or the Oahu witch looks like a Giant hovering bird.

A Dullahan appears in KonoSuba as an enemy general who gets ticked off when Megumin launches too many explosion spells at the castle it haunts.

[typhon]

Love dullahan is one of my favorite mythological creature

[alecbyrd]

Anyone remembers the old Disney film 🎞 of sleepy hollow

[arcadia]

Truly fascinating. I've always had an interest in tales and legends. But to know that there are many tales like this in other countries. To continue with such a story, I play the elder scrolls 5, Skyrim. In that game, you can occasionally see a spectral headless horseman seen in the game. Roaming the countryside by night. I've seen him twice, and he does ride pretty fast upon his spectral horse.

I have been waiting for you to cover The Dullahan. After hearing your description it seems somewhat like a cross between The Headless Horseman and Ghost Rider.

[anthonyrios]

Perfect Timing! I had just finished watching DRRR X2 not too long ago.

[dracone]

Quick note, in descriptions of the horses used by the Dullahan, I've heard them be described as being headless themselves

[drewjohnson-]

Nice I like this one and would love to see more Headless Horseman videos as I’ve always wondered about the Old World influences on the Sleepy Hallow folklore

[bluewolvesstudios]

Its amazing everyone is mentioning Durarara and here i am like, “Yeah, ive watch the Headless Horsemen before Celty...”

[robertr.]

0:09 after watching tons of this guy's videos, it just dawned on me that the blue book on the table in his intros is a copy of The Jedi Path.

[GraniteGhost]

The Headless Horseman motif has always interested me.

If you care to do more then by all means!
