There are theories why the first people carved pumpkins. One, is the man teased the devil into a tree so he couldn't get out. When the man died the devil cursed his soul to walk the earth with a gourd lantern. Which then people started carving the pumpkins instead of gourds. Another is, people carve the pumpkins to keep away bad spirits.
