In the folktale surrounding the origin of the Jack-O- Lantern, what item does Stingy Jack turn the devil into?
A Coin
Stingy Jack is a drunkard who, according to legend, tricked the Devil into becoming a coin. Stingy Jack intended to use the coin to pay for his drink, but he instead chose to keep it
As a coin, the devil could not return to his original form because he was placed beside a silver cross. Stingy Jack played more tricks during his lifetime, and by the time of his death, God and the Devil were so angry with him that they would not let him into either Hell or Heaven.
The Devil sent him away after giving him burning coal. Stingy Jack then placed this burning coal inside a carved-out turnip and has been traveling the world ever since. That’s how he came to be popular as “Jack of the Lantern” and eventually “Jack-o’-lantern"
