Icelandic Human Skin Pants – Creepy Icelandic Folklore
Because Icelandic human skin pants (nábrók or necropants) are part of Icelandic folklore, it’s important to note that it is not known if these actually ever existed.
However, if they did, here is what a person would have to do to use them to receive an endless amount of money. 😬
⭐️ Get permission from a person that is alive to use their skin after they die
⭐️ When they die, you must let them be buried, then dig them up your self and flay the skin of the person from the waist down without creating holes or tears in the skin
⭐️ Next up, you must slip on the pants and let them let stick like glue next to your bare skin, kind of like creepy leggings.
⭐️ The only loose skin was a small flap of the flesh at the wearer’s scrotum. the sorcerer then takes a coin they stole from a poor widow and places it into the scrotum of the necropants with a rune symbol written on a piece of paper
⭐️ As long as the coin and rune symbol are never removed while the person is wearing the necropants, the scrotum will magically continue to be filled up with money.
⭐️ Because this was considered satanic magic, the wearer of the pants would be damned to hell. However, they could be redeemed if they were able to convince someone else to wear the pants before they died.
I highly recommend checking out the replica of these human skin pants and other fascinating displays at the Icelandic Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft in the Westfjords.
