The Jack-o-lantern came from Ireland, where they used turnips, instead of pumpkins. The Jack-o-lantern's origin is traced back to Ireland and a man called Stingy Jack. Jack was known for playing tricks on everyone, even the Devil. He tricked the Devil up an apple tree, and placed crossed underneath the tree, trapping the Devil. He made the Devil promise not to take his soul upon death, and then removed the crosses. Upon death, Jack went to heaven and was turned away because he had been so mean in life. He went to the Devil and the Devil refused him also. He had no where to go and was forever to roam in the dark. The devil tossed him an ember and jack carved a piece of the turnip he had with him, and placed the ember inside to ward off the dark.
