1000 year ago when Slav people weren't yet christian their world was filled with many creepy demons and monsters.

People who commited sucide by hanging themselfs condemed their souls for damnation leaving behind hanging body.

Dead body was giving whole neighbourhood misfortune and misery. Anyone who touched Hanged Man was considered unpure and cursed

so waiting fo someone to remove the body often took several weeks...

Hanged Man who wasn't remove in time though could come back to life (undead) as demon spreading death everywhere went.

FUN FACT: Though Hanged Man body spread misfortune... the rope which he used to take his life was highly desired talisman.

It suposed to bring good luck. Added to vodka turned it to a health elixir.
