Jack-O'-Lanterns
The Halloween Tradition
A jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin,turnip, or other root vegetable lantern associated with Halloween. Its name comes from the phenomenon of a strange light flickering over peat bogs.
Legend Has It...
Whenever people would see mysterious lights in the dark or floating above a bog, they
believed it to be the tortured soul of Stingy Jack wandering around with his lantern. Thus, what people referred to as "Jack of the
Lantern" eventually evolved into "Jack O'Lantern."
