## Experience

A large blue-bearded Dutchman of the hollow: farmer by day, and the tavern's standing authority on every haunting between the church and Wiley's Swamp.

##### Martling Farm (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Yeoman Farmer** — 1780–present

Run a middling mixed holding — grain, hogs, and an orchard that pays for itself in cider — at a steady profit for nineteen years. Nearly took a British galley in '81 with a nine-pounder from a mud breastwork; the gun burst, but the story holds and has never once failed to hold a room.

##### The Headless Horseman Tavern (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Fireside Correspondent (unofficial)** — 1785–present

Collect, verify (loosely), and distribute the valley's ghost intelligence, and debate all comers on matters of hauntings — undefeated on home ground.

#### Skills and tools ##

Mixed farming, hog-raising, and cider orcharding, plus ghost lore catalogued, cross-referenced, and improved in the telling. Tavern debate, at length.

_Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799._
