This reminds me of a short story I read when I was about 10, scared the shite out of me. No idea of the title or characters, just remember that the ribbon was undone and the girls head fell off? May have misremembered. UK

I might be completely misremembering, but I feel like a version of it is in one of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series(?). Admittedly it’s been like 25+ years since I read them.

Got any idea of the title?

According to google it could be “The Green Ribbon” or “The Adventure of the German Student” which is by Washington Irving in 1824. He also wrote the story of the headless horseman
