I’M SCARY AND WHITE I can come out at night Who am I? You are a ghost...

I’M ROUND ON ALL SIDES I’ve got a light inside Who am I? You are a pumpkin lantern. The use of Jack O'Lantern as lights for Halloween festival is a custom coming from the Irish who used carved out turnips and put inside a burning candle. These lights represented the souls of the dead or goblins freed from the dead. When the Irish emigrated to America, they could not find many turnips to carve into Jack O'Lantern, but they found plenty of pumpkins and, since then, they used them for Halloween celebrations. Jack is an Irish man that played tricks on the Devil a lot of times, so when he died, he was refused by Heaven. He wandered around the world holding a lantern to lit his way.
