Jack O'Lantern. Jack O’Lantern. According to Irish folklore, a man named Jack, well known for his drunkenness and quick temper, got very drunk at a local pub on Halloween. As his life began to slip away the Devil appeared to claim Jack's soul. Jack, eager to stay alive, begged the Devil to let him have just one more drink before he died. The Devil agreed. Jack was short of money and asked the Devil if he wouldn't mind assuming the shape of a sixpence so Jack could pay for the drink and after the transaction the Devil could change back. Seeing how the Devil is quite gullible in almost all of these folk tales, he agreed again to help Jack out and changed himself into a sixpence. Jack agreed to free the Devil from his wallet if the Devil agreed not to bother Jack for a whole year. The next Halloween as Jack was heading home the Devil appeared and demanded that Jack accompany him.
Almost a year later Jack's body, unable to withstand his evil ways, gave out and Jack died.
