In medieval England, two mysterious children appeared near the village of Woolpit. Their skin was green, they spoke a language nobody understood, and they refused every food offered to them except broad beans.
But the strangest part of the story came later.
After the surviving girl learned English, she reportedly claimed that she and her brother had come from a place called St. Martin's Land, where everyone had green skin and the sun never shone.
Nearly 900 years later, the mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit remains one of England's strangest medieval accounts.
In this GITN Podcast Condensed episode, Phil and Travis explore the original medieval chronicles, the children's mysterious arrival, the death of the young boy, and the girl's extraordinary description of her homeland.
Could they have been Flemish refugees suffering from malnutrition? Was the story influenced by medieval folklore or religious symbolism? Or is there something stranger behind the legend?
We examine the historical explanations alongside the more unusual theories, including underground civilizations, fairy folklore, and otherworldly origins.
