These pants are to die for?
Trousers allegedly constructed from real human skin are currently on display at an Iceland museum.
The pants — which have been dubbed “necropants” — are a part of a Seventeenth-century tradition that claims an individual can have good luck in the event that they wear a deceased person’s lower half, Newsweek reported.
“I can have to burst the bubble that the necropants on display are a duplicate, from a mold constructed from a person (except essentially the most intimate part, which is made up),” Anna Björg Þórarinsdóttir, owner of the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft, said.
“However the necropants were believed to bring wealth to the one who wore them and in Icelandic grimoires and folklore there are descriptions on find out how to make them.”
Several Icelandic tales have the making of necropants as a kind of dark magic that was persecuted during Iceland’s Age of Fire from 1654 and 1690.
In line with the museum, the pants allegedly originated from a deal that was brokered by two friends that, upon the death of 1, the opposite would use the opposite person’s skin to create the nightmarish pants.
The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft is the one known location with a pair of intact pants and initially put them on display in 2013.
In line with Þórarinsdóttir, the pants should be made with the skin still intact with no holes or scratches. The sorcerer then getting into the skin will “immediately develop into one along with his own,” she claimed.
“A coin should be stolen from a poor widow, either at Christmas, Easter, or Whitsunday [a Christian festival on the seventh Sunday after Easter] and kept within the scrotum,” explained Þórarinsdóttir.
She claimed “it’s going to then draw money from living individuals and the scrotum won’t ever be empty when the sorcerer checks.”
The Post reached out to the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft for comment.
Þórarinsdóttir explained that if an individual desires to pass on their lucky streak, there’s a certain way the pants should be passed from user to user.
“Nevertheless, his spiritual well-being is in danger unless he removes the necropants before he dies. If he dies with the pants on, his body will develop into infested with lice as soon as he passes away,” Þórarinsdóttir said.
“The sorcerer must subsequently find any individual that’s willing to take the pants and put his leg into the precise leg before the sorcerer steps out of the left one. The pants will carry on drawing money for generations of householders.”
