The Headless Horseman is to be found inside the Graveyard of Scarlet Monastery during the Hallow's End period, which lasts two weeks. He's a three-phased boss, which is able to be killed with four average players.

Summoning
Inside the Graveyard, an altar will appear, with an pumpkin upon it. Behind it, is a pile of dirt. By speaking to the pumpkin, you can get a candle, which delivered to the dirtpile behind, will summon the boss. He'll soar out, fly about a bit, and then land, charging the summoner. This will consume a Daily Quest, and can only be done once every two hours, I believe. Summoning him requires level 65.

Stage one
Tank time. Nothing exciting happens. The tank tanks, DPS does DPS, and the healer heals.
As soon as he hits 1%, his head will pop off, and land at a random location. If this head doesn't get damaged down to about 65% before his body hits 100% again, you have to fight through phase one again.

Stage two
Ok, head reaches 65%, flies back to his body, and you're fighting again. This time, he has a new ability. Conflagrate. It'll do 10% damage for 5 ticks on a random target. It also does 10% damage to anyone close to that target, so try to move away quickly.
Once he hits 1%, his head pops off again, so try to hit it down to 30%.

Stage three
When the head hits 30%, he becomes whole again, and you're fighting agin. This time, he gets the ability to summon four helpful pumpkin guys. If you're quick, they should only have time to spawn before the Headless Horseman is dead. If not, try to kill the horseman anyway.
The pumpkins don't do very much damage, but can disrupt the healer. The Headless Horseman will summon four adds every now-and-then, while conflagrating and hitting the tank as usual. At 1% his head flies off, and you've got a floating skull. Kill it quickly, and party. Now go and loot the various drops he has.

The Looting
The Headless Horseman usually drops anything between two to four items, maybe even five.
Two items that are guaranteed to appear, are both a Broom and any of the three kinds of rings.
- Rings:
Witches Band
Ring of Ghoulish Delight
The Horseman's Signet Ring
- Brooms:
Magic Broom, 60% land speed
Swift Magic Broom, 100% land speed
Flying Broom, 60%, Air speed
Swift Flying Broom, 280%, Air speed
The Horseman's Reins, now a flying and land mount!
- Other:
Hallowed Helm
The Horseman's Helm
Sinister Squashling
The Horseman's Blade

He also drops Weighted Jack-'O-Lantern, Pumpkins you can throw on top of allied heads.

Description

Until the head of the Headless Horseman is destroyed, his rampage will not end.

The Horseman rests within the Forlorn Cloister of the Scarlet Monastery, in Tirisfal Glade. Go to his pumpkin shrine and speak these words:

Horseman, rise
Your time is nigh
You felt death once
Now, know demise!

This will rouse the fiend. Destroy the head of the Horseman's and he will plague us no longer.
