98. The Green Children of Woolpit: Medieval England’s Strangest Mystery

Explicit

Not My Ghost, Not My Problem by Jen & Kelly

Episode notes

The Green Children of Woolpit is one of medieval England’s strangest unsolved mysteries: two green-skinned children reportedly appeared near a wolf pit in 12th-century Suffolk, speaking an unknown language and refusing every food except raw fava beans.

In this episode, we dig into the historical accounts, the world these children supposedly stepped into, and the theories that try to explain them, from illness and lost Flemish children to fairy lore, underground worlds, and parallel dimensions. The weirdest part is not that there are theories. It is that none of them fully works.
