History-sode | The Legend Behind the Jack-O’-Lantern

History-sode | The Legend Behind the Jack-O’-Lantern

You’ve carved your pumpkins ......now hear the eerie Irish legend that started it all!

In this short bonus History-Sode, Auntie Jo Jo retells the story of Stingy Jack, the clever trickster who outsmarted the Devil twice and became the wandering ghost behind the first Jack-O’-Lantern.

Learn how Irish immigrants brought this glowing tradition to America — and why a turnip once carried the world’s very first candlelight.

(Plus, a special announcement about Auntie Jo Jo’s brand-new podcast, Legacy Lore, now streaming everywhere!)
