It is remarkable that the visionary propensity I have mentioned is not confined to the native inhabitants of the valley, but is unconsciously imbibed by every one who resides there for a time. However wide awake they may have been before they entered that sleepy region, they are sure, in a little time, to inhale the witching influence of the air, and begin to grow imaginative—to dream dreams, and see apparitions.… What does this paragraph reveal about people who move to Sleepy Hollow?

They may have been very logical people before moving to Sleepy Hollow, but they soon become superstitious and imaginative after living there for a little while.

"The dominant spirit, however, that haunts this enchanted region, and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air, is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head."

In this by-place of nature there abode, in a remote period of American history, that is to say, some thirty years since, a worthy wight1 of the name of Ichabod Crane; who sojourned, or, as he expressed it, "tarried,"2 in Sleepy Hollow, for the purpose of instructing the children of the vicinity. 1 wight: a Middle English word for "a living thing" or "a human being." 2 tarried: to stay longer than expected. In the sentences above, what does the phrase "who sojourned, or, as he expressed it, 'tarried,'" suggest?
