Like Jack’s lantern, many of these inspired creations were made by carving faces into turnips. This is a model of a Hallowe’en ‘ghost turnip’ taken into the Collection in 1943 from Fintown in Co Donegal.Īccording to Stack, people in Ireland began to create their own jack-o’-lanterns as far back as around the 17th century. Scary lanterns were made using potatoes and turnips.
So when Jack was dying for the third time, the devil refused to take his soul, and since Jack led a life of misery and cruelty, God wouldn’t take him either. Both times, Jack was dying, and when the devil came for his soul, Jack tricked him into giving him several more years of life. He then turned his sights to a much more prominent target – the devil.
"There were different versions, but basically they all agree that he was grumpy, possibly less than wholesome in his appetites and he was mean, stingy, but also kind of mischievous."Īccording to Stack, Stingy Jack played tricks on his neighbors, family and friends. "The story is based on the story of a man called ‘Stingy Jack’ (pronounced "stin-jee jak")," said Elizabeth Stack, the Executive Director of the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany, New York. While those words could be used to affectionately describe a few of our own family and friends, Irish legend has it they can also aptly describe the namesake of the jack-o’-lantern.
