* StingyJack: This was one of the topics in "The True Story of Halloween" as Trachtenberg discuses the origin on how Jack O' Lanterns were made and one of the Irish legend was about Jack. The legend is that Jack tricked the devil into climbing a tree, but the devil had the last laugh. After Jack died, his spirit was forced to wonder alone and the only thing that keeps him close is a curved turnip. When the Irish immigrated to the United States, they brought the legend to the country and use pumpkins as they are more easy to find.
