Our Valley Girls’ correspondents, Rebecca and Danielle, are getting us into the spirit for Spooky Season with happenings in the Capital Region and Westchester. Danielle dares you to outrun the Headless Horseman at the Sleepy Hollow 10k, and Rebecca might not be the only ghoul you’ll meet at a haunted cemetery near Troy.
