The story of Old Jack. He was an evil man that liked to play tricks, one day he tricked the devil so bad the devil swore he could never go to heaven or hell. Well when Jack did die. He could not get into heaven. When he went to the Devil he would not let him in either. The Devil took pity on him and gave a single coal that would never burn out. Jack carved his face into a turnip and placed the single coal inside. This story is also associated with the will o wisp. Turnips eventually were traded for pumpkins since they worked better for the tradition.
