A video displaying three pumpkins that I carved into Jack-O-Lanterns for Halloween. I started filming in daylight right before it started to get dark, so you can see the transition from lightness to darkness during the video. Listen for the dogs barking in the distance, and the train whistle miles away. Occasionally you can hear a loud car passing by or a motorcycle zooming on a near highway. And if you listen closely, you can probably hear the sound of a police car roaring after a criminal. The wind picked up more at the ending of the video and nearby crickets chirping. I also light a nice fire in front of the set-up to give the scene a little life with fire dancing across the faces of the pumpkins. I also lit a few tiki torches off to the side about 30 minutes in. Its hard to make it out, by the skeleton skull strobe light behind the middle pumpkin gets turned on about midway through the video as well.

Put this video on in the background for your next Halloween party, and let the guests soak in the eerie ambience of the Jack-O-Lanterns. Or just set the volume to your desired level and try and relax or sleep to the sounds of urban life.

Helpful tips:
1. Plug in your charging cable to your electronic devise.
2. Open this video, and hit play.
3. Set the volume to your liking.
4. Set the "loop" feature to "ON", If your YouTube platform provides it.
5. Dim your devices screen to your liking, for better room darkness.
6. Close your eyes and then slowly take in a deep breath, hold for 10 seconds, then exhale.
7. Repeat step 6 five to ten times.
8. If you have an eye pad, cover your eyes with it.
9. Place your device beside your bed and close your eyes. You will soon be hypnotized by the sounds of the flowing waters, and you soon fall into a deep sleep.
10. Make sure you set your alarm, because it might be hard for you to wake up in the morning. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it.

Jack-O-Lantern on Wikipedia:
A jack-o'-lantern (or jack o'lantern) is a carved turnip, pumpkin or other root vegetable lantern, commonly associated with the Halloween holiday. Its name comes from the reported phenomenon of strange lights flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisps or jack-o'-lanterns. The name is also tied to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunkard who bargains with Satan and is doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way.
Jack-o'-lanterns carved from pumpkins are a yearly Halloween tradition that developed in the United States when Irish immigrants brought their root vegetable carving tradition with them.
In a jack-o'-lantern, the top of the pumpkin or turnip is cut off to form a lid, the inside flesh is scooped out, and an image—usually a scary or funny face—is carved out of the rind to expose the hollow interior. To create the lantern effect, a light source, traditionally a flame such as a candle or tea-light, is placed within before the lid is closed. However, artificial jack-o'-lanterns with electric lights are also marketed. It is common to see jack-o'-lanterns used as external and internal decorations prior to and on Halloween.

Etymlogy: The term jack-o'-lantern was originally used to describe the visual phenomenon ignis fatuus (lit., "foolish fire") known as a will-o'-the-wisp in English folklore. Used especially in East England, its earliest known use dates to the 1660s. The term "will-o'-the-wisp" uses "wisp" (a bundle of sticks or paper sometimes used as a torch) and the proper name "Will": thus, "Will-of-the-torch." The term jack o'lantern is of the same construction: "Jack of [the] lantern."

History: The carving of vegetables has been a common practice in many parts of the world. It is believed that the custom of making jack-o'-lanterns at Halloween time began in Ireland In the 19th century, "turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces," were used on Halloween in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. In these Gaelic-speaking regions, Halloween was also the festival of Samhain and was seen as a time when supernatural beings (the Aos Sí), and the souls of the dead, walked the earth. Jack-o'-lanterns were also made at Halloween time in Somerset, England (see Punkie Night) during the 19th century.

By those who made them, the lanterns were said to represent either spirits or supernatural beings, or were used to ward off evil spirits. For example, sometimes they were used by Halloween participants to frighten people, and sometimes they were set on windowsills to keep harmful spirits out of one's home. It has also been suggested that the jack-o'-lanterns originally represented Christian souls in purgatory, as Halloween is the eve of All Saints' Day (1 November)/All Souls' Day (2 November).
