Occult Corner: Lauren learned about something called ‘NecroPants’ and now you have to know about it too.  It’s an odd bit of folklore from Iceland relating to one of our favorite topics: scrotum magic.  First heard about in episode 225 of the Lore podcast https://www.lorepodcast.com/sources/225 and aided in research by trusty Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nábrók
