Episode notes
Irish and Scottish kids used to carve Jack-o'-lanterns out of turnips. In the tale of Jack and the devil, Jack trapped the devil in a tree. Jack then wandered the earth with a hot coal in a turnip. This tradition, known as Samhain, was a Celtic festival celebrating the New Year and the end of the harvest season.
