There is a beautiful and haunting poem by Hercules Ellis, written in 1851, about the legend of Stingy Jack. Here are a few excerpts from "The Romance of Jack O'Lantern":

GREATER churl was never known,
On this earth than stingy John;
From his door the poor were turned,
Unrelieved, and cursed, and spurned.

[Considered a bad guy by everyone, an angel unawares visits Jack and Jack surprises the angel by treating him kindly. He offers Jack 3 wishes, but Jack doesn't choose wisely, from the angel's point of view]

"All these boons I grant to you,
And my blessing add thereto;"
Saying thus, the angel sighs,
As, from thence, to heaven, he flies;

For when choice, like this, is given,
If the chooser ask not heaven,
Never more, by deeds or prayer,
Shall the spurner enter there.

But, although thus doomed to hell,
Stingy Jack, on earth, throve well;

Now years have flown, and youth is gone,
And Jack's last day is come;
And the Devil sends a servant up,
To fetch the old man home:

[Jack is able to trick the Devil and his servants until the Devil agrees to not take Jack to Hell]

At length Jack died, and when his soul
Was from his body riven;
It could not get through hell's wide gates,
Nor yet through those of heaven:
By his free choice, he lost the last;
And Satan did not fail
His oath to keep, and Jack to sweep,
From hell's gates, with his flail.

Then since Jack is unfit for heaven,
And hell won't give him room,
His ghost is forced to walk the earth,
Until the day of doom:
A lantern in his hand he bears,
The way by night to show;
And, from its flame, he's got the name
Of Jack O'Lantern now.

Razor blades are actually a pretty common thing to find in the walls, but there area plenty of stories about wild discoveries. Here's one of my favorite:

During renovations at the historic Carlyle House in Old Town Alexandria—built in 1753 by Scottish merchant John Carlyle—stonemasons found a mummified cat sealed inside a stone alcove within the southeast chimney. Sprinkled with dried rosemary and herbs, the cat was deliberately placed there as an 18th-century protective folk ritual (a "building deposit") meant to ward off witches, evil spirits, and bad luck.
