The History of the Jack-O-Lantern

The History Channel tells us that the concept of Jack-O-Lanterns at Halloween stems from an old Irish tradition Supposedly, it all began when a codgy, old Irishman began playing tricks on the devil, and after the old man died, the devil retaliated:

“He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with it ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’Lantern.”
