Archaeologists don't know why the horse was decapitated? Aha! Maybe it was just born that way.

I knew we got it wrong. It was a "headless horse" and man. Not a "headless horseman".

That’s what I was thinking. In all the folklore I’ve seen regarding this, the horse was never headless.

Maybe he was a horseless headman.

Maybe he was the headmaster of a school that was requiring masking?

Somewhere they'll find the ruins of a castle, and the taxidermied head will still be hanging over the fireplace.

Wouldn’t that make him a headlessmaster?

I’ve often thought how Miles Runnish would have been a more appropriate name for that guy.

'Perhaps Miles Standish could provide some insight..."
Why Miles Standish? I don't get it. Miles Standish from the Plymouth Colony?
