Manage episode 499060223 series 3675309
In this episode, we delve into the strange and fascinating legend of the Green Children of Woolpit — a medieval mystery that still sparks debate centuries later. In 12th-century England, two children with green-tinged skin reportedly appeared near the village of Woolpit, speaking an unknown language and wearing unfamiliar clothes.
The boy soon died, but the girl survived and eventually learned English, claiming they came from a twilight land called “St Martin’s.” Was it folklore, a real historical event, or something more otherworldly? We explore the theories — from fairy tales to alien encounters — behind this curious and enduring tale.
