When I read Sleepy Hollow (more than half a lifetime ago!) it did not even occur to me to consider a supernatural interpretation - it felt extremely obvious to me it was a prank, and that van Tassel was in on it. Not sure if I'd feel the same today.

The "shrug" you highlight reminds me of Vivant Denon's more pithy conclusion to his story No Tomorrow "I searched for the moral of this tale... and did not find it." The end!
