The Legend of Sleepy Hollow


"FOUND AMONG THE PAPERS OF THE LATE DIEDRICH KNICKERBOCKER. "

 From the note above, it sets a tone of suspicion, and mystery, because it makes it seem like the papers have been lost for some time, and are probably meant to be confidential. Yet, there being let loose to the reader. This is also used in the old horror movie, "The Blair Witch Project" as the movie opens saying that the footage in the movie was found in the woods, by teens who were trying to make a movie about the Blair Witch.  By using this technique, it makes the audience feel on edge about what they'r about to see/ read, and not being sure if they should expose them self to it.
