TRIVIA BITS - HALLOWEEN - JACK-O-LANTERN
According to folklore, the jack-o-lantern got his name from a man named Jack.
Jack o lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.
Turnips and beets served as the original jack-o-lanterns.
A burning a candle inside a jack-o-lantern on Halloween keeps evil spirits and demons at bay.
