The Celtics originally used turnips as Jack-o'-lanterns. They would carve faces into these root vegetables and place a candle inside to ward off evil spirits. This tradition was later adapted in America, where pumpkins, which were more abundant and easier to carve, became the popular choice for Jack-o'-lanterns.
