Turnips were originally used. They were used because they looked like skeletons head. These were considered to contain (the heads) wisdom and the spirit and were stuck to the door to scare away the demons by the Celts. The Irish did it to remember Stingy Jack who wandered the earth with a turnip with a light in it because he either
1. wasn't accepted into heaven because of his stingy miserly ways and the devil helped him out
or
2. he tricked the devil into climbing a tree and carving a cross into the trunk. The devil cursed him to walk the earth eternally.
