So Jack and the jack-o-lantern became the symbol of the cursed wandering soul. In order to scare away these wandering souls on Halloween, people use turnips, beets or potatoes to carve terrible faces to represent jack with lanterns, which is the origin of jack-o \ '- lantern.

When the Irish moved to the United States, they began to carve with pumpkins, because pumpkins were more plentiful than turnips in the fall. Now, if people hang pumpkin lights on their windows on Halloween night, it means that people in Halloween costumes can knock on the door and ask for candy.

It is said that soon after the Irish arrived in the United States, they found that pumpkins were superior to carrots in terms of both source and carving, so pumpkins became the favorite of Halloween.
