"Brom Bones" in Washington Irving's original story is a nickname the character's real name is "Abraham van Brunt.".

No one in Sleepy Hollow believes these rumors of course, because they believe that Ichabod has been spirited away by the Headless Horseman. Brom winds up marrying Katrina while rumors begin to spread that Ichabod is still alive and married to a wealthy widow in a distant county. The next morning Ichabod mysteriously disappears, and the only things that are found by the bridge are his hat and a shattered pumpkin. Ichabod tries to dodge the gruesome object, but is too late when the horrible missile hits his head hard, and sends him tumbling into the dust from Gunpowder, who has somehow run off. As he manages to cross the bridge on Gunpowder, Ichabod turns back to see the Horseman rise in his stirrups and throw his head being a blazing jack o'lantern straight at him. That night, as he rides along on Old Gunpowder, Ichabod has a terrifying encounter with the Headless Horseman much like Brom's tale. Brom concludes by telling how he met the Horseman himself last Halloween but escaped him by crossing the old bridge at the edge of the woods ("Once you cross that bridge, my friends, the ghost is through, his power ends!"). As he gets into the spirit, his song becomes darker and darker, with him acting out the part to Katrina's amusement and Ichabod's growing terror. Brom, taking advantage of this, promptly steps forward and begins to tell the story of Sleepy Hollow's most infamous specter, the Headless Horseman. The devious bully has discovered the schoolmaster's weakness: his strong superstition.

Then, as Brom is eating a sandwich, he spots Ichabod knocking over a salt shaker and nervously tossing the salt over his left shoulder. Defeated again, the disappointed Brom is forced to admit that Ichabod has won again and his dancing is exquisite. He gets out through the doors leading outside and is forced to watch Ichabod finish his impressive dancing, making him the hit of the party. Brom backs into the cellar and the door shuts on him. Unfortunately, Tilda emerges from the front door with a big "Yoo hoo!" and makes a beeline straight for Brom.

Brom spies Ichabod dancing on the cellar door, inspiring him to open it and get him to fall in. He tries to follow Ichabod but Tilda keeps pulling him back until he manages to throw her in a closet and trap her inside. Brom succeeds in switching partners at least once, but Ichabod promptly cuts in, leaving Brom once again with his unwanted lady friend. This backfires comically, as Tilda absolutely refuses to let him go. Brom then gets the idea to switch Katrina with Tilda while on the dance floor. He notices Tilda, a short plump woman sitting across from him who tries to flirt with him, but Brom finds her repulsive. As they both try to escort her home from a day of shopping, Brom not only gets stuck with all the packages, he loses them as he tries to catch up with both Ichabod and Katrina, trips over the gate, gets locked out of the house, mistakes the sounds of Ichabod kissing a flower Katrina gives him for the two of them kissing, passes up the chance of finally knocking Ichabod out to look nice in front of Katrina, falls down a well as he sprints after him, and is knocked senseless by a carelessly tossed horseshoe as he climbs back up.Īt the Van Tassel's annual Halloween party, Brom silently fumes as he watches Ichabod and Katrina happily dance together. Katrina plays the two off each other, resulting in Brom's becoming more jealous of Ichabod as he wins Katrina's favor. His physique and bullying behavior always scares away rivals for Katrina's hand, but fails when he finally finds a match in Ichabod, with his wit, agility, and gentle behavior. Brom Bones has always had his eyes on Katrina Van Tassel, the beautiful daughter of Baltus Van Tassel, the county's most prosperous farmer. Brom likes to play jokes, particularly on the new schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, but Ichabod is very good at ignoring these taunts.

He likes kidding around and drinking beer with his buddies, the Sleepy Hollow Boys, and riding on his favorite horse, Daredevil. He wears a green vest over a light green shirt and black pants.īrom Bones is the town hero of Sleepy Hollow. However, Brom was not above becoming insanely jealous of Ichabod after Katrina started paying attention to him, to the point of adapting a bullying persona towards Ichabod, although he proves to still be well-intentioned at times.īrom is slender and muscular and he has black hair. Still, there is no malice in his mischief.". He is "quite the hero of all the country bumpkin." and he's "always good for a fight or a frolic.
