A rabbit's foot is carried as an amulet in some cultures, believed to bring good luck, a superstition found across Europe, Africa, Australia and the Americas. In many traditions the rabbit it came from is said to need certain attributes for the charm to work, such as having been killed in a particular place, by a particular method, or by a person with particular attributes. Folklorist Benjamin Radford has suggested the charm may be connected to an older European good-luck token called the Hand of Glory, made from the body of an executed criminal.
