Legend has it that an Irishman named "Jack" was caught by the devil and exiled to hell because he liked pranks and mischief very much. Where he was imprisoned, he kept trying to escape, but all failed. One day, he saw a huge pumpkin and he came up with a plan. He dyed the pumpkin red with his own blood, then dug an eye hole in the pumpkin and filled it with stones. He successfully fooled the demon guarding him with this pumpkin and escaped.
Later, when Jack returned to Ireland, he told people about his experiences in hell. Since then, every Halloween, people will make the image of Jack out of pumpkins, and then light candles to commemorate his heroic deeds and to drive away demons. This is the origin of the pumpkin lantern.
