Skyrim headless horsemen ghost?
- Jul 22, 2012 4:28 pm GMT
I'm out on the roads at night, on my way to Rorrikstead from Markarth riding my horse, I see what I thought was a Ice Wraith from a long distance. This struck me as weird, I haven't fought too many Ice Wraith's, but when I have, it's been in the up above in the snow-line. This was way below the snow in the open plaines. I readied my bow and as I got closer it started charging me, then I realized it was a man riding a horse, with no head. It was a ghost. It sped past me, I rode in front and got off my horse to try and stop and interact with it but it wouldn't let me. Then I readied an arrow, sent one through him without any damage. What was it that I saw?

He will spawn randomly anywhere in the world between 10:00 p.m. and 5 a.m. He will occasionally stop to let the player examine him and then continue riding. The Horseman performs no actions, and cannot be harmed. The Headless Horseman is also not connected to any main quests or side quests. Currently, the only things that the Horseman has uttered is "Finality", "Such an abrupt end to our game", "Who dares disturb my rest?", "You are not welcome here" and "All the living shall fear the dead.". If you continue to follow him, he will normally lead you to Hamvir's Rest. There you can find three skeletons, a leveled Draugr, a master-level chest, as well as a couple of items in the area. If you fast travel directly to Hamvir's Rest, the Headless Horseman can be seen there during daytime. He will stand at the entrance of the cemetery and will not move until you get out of his sight.
