Legend has it that there was a bad boy named Jack in Ireland, and on October 31st, a demon came to him to ask for his life, but he invited the demon to drink.

Because he had no money to pay the bill after drinking, he persuaded the devil to turn into sixpence to pay for the wine.

But instead of paying for it, Jack wrapped the demon (the coin) in a piece of silver paper so that it couldn't come out.

Later, the demon promised Jack not to come and ask for his life for a whole year, and Jack released the demon.

On October 31 of the following year, the demon reappeared, and as a result, it fell into Jack's ruse again, and the demon was forced to promise Jack that he would never let him go to hell, and Jack let it go.
