    Halloween spirits were believed to roam the earth on Halloween night in ancient times. People would dress in scary costumes and carry jack-o-lanterns to try to ward off ghosts, demons, and witches. Jack-o-lanterns were made by carving faces into turnips or pumpkins and placing a lit candle inside. These were carried or placed on porches and windowsills to frighten away evil spirits. Iron and religious symbols were also thought to protect against witches and spirits on Halloween.
