Mine has to do with Halloween. The shortened form is this: Stingy Jack, according to Irish myth, tricked the devil into never attempting to get his soul. So, when Stingy Jack died, he wasn't allowed in Heaven ... nor hell, since the devil made the agreement with him. Therefore, Stingy Jack was forced to roam the earth for eternity. He used a turnip as a latern, and he became known as "Jack of the Latern", or "Jack o'Lantern" as we use it today.
I love Halloween! Yay!
