Could the headless horseman be the ghost of Ragnar the Red?

...If he is, then that is freaking scary, and not jumpscare scary.

He's riding to his (presumably) gravesite, not Whiterun.

its possible, though nothing is really known about the horseman.

No. I remember reading proof somewhere that he wasn't but I couldn't find it... All I found was the fact that his head was NOT red, which doesn't seem to be helpful in the slightest.

I always assumed it's an easter egg referencing to the Sleepy Hollow. :shrug:

The two times I've seen him were near Haemar's Shame.

I see him all the bloody time, sometimes I just wave...I named him Bob.

I have never seen him either?

I've seen him near Solitude, south of dawnstar, east of windhelm, north of falkreath and sometimes I've seen him in the reach.

Sometimes there's a bug where he chases after his sprinting horse, it's pretty comical. :biggrin:

I saw him once but didn't think of following him at the time.

I doubt that's what was intended but it would be cool if it was retconned that way. His gravesite is pretty close to Whiterun. I think the proof was that if you look at his head on the creation kit that its not red, but its not like you could see it in-game anyways.

This. If you follow him all the way he ends up there, utters the word "Finality" and then disappears.

I've seen him about 2 times...and both those times I swear he follows me because I don't fast travel much and I ride a horse everywhere. I swear he wants a septum or two..

I'm still calling him Bob and believing he was just an average lumber mill worker before being killed by bandits while riding to town.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 8:11 am

I see him regularly...mostly in the dead of night. I've never seen him go to Whiterun though, and I've never bothered to chase him too far.

» Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:42 am

It was confirmed somewhere that it wasn't him.

Also, he doesn't ride to whiterun, he rides to a graveyard

This.
He's supposed to head(no pun intended) over to Haemar's Shame, not Whiterun.

But doesn't he always pass by whiterun on his way.cI maybe wrong but doesn't he also say something when passing whiterun? Also what does the color of his head in the creation kit have to do with anything?

No, he talks to you. Like, if you follow him for a while and daylight comes, he says "So our game ends..." or something like that. Game being you chasing him around Skyrim(he'll say other things too). Ragnar the Red is just a bard's tale, it may not even be true. He just goes back to his grave at Haemar's Shame, if he makes it.

I feel sorry for you, here is a septum for your troubles.
I have seen him in total with my 3 characters at least six or seven times and literately I saw him within fan hour of two of starting my first build right on the way to Whiterun.

I know that, but thought he also would make a statement near whiterun. Also I know he goes to his grave, what I'm saying is he passes whiterun each time, could be wrong, but I believe he does.

he doesn't always start in the same spot, which is why he doesn't always make it to the grave. i don't think he ALWAYS starts before Whiterun.
