The legend of the green children of Woolpit concerns two children of unusual skin colour who reportedly appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England, some time in the 12th century, perhaps during the reign of King Stephen. The children, brother and sister, were of generally normal appearance except for the green colour of their skin. They spoke in an unknown language, and the only food they would eat was beans. Eventually they learned to eat other food and lost their green pallor, but the boy was sickly and died soon after he and his sister were baptised. The girl adjusted to her new life, but she was considered to be "rather loose and wanton in her conduct". After she learned to speak English, the girl explained that she and her brother had come from Saint Martin's Land, a subterranean world inhabited by green people.
The only near-contemporary accounts are contained in William of Newburgh's Historia rerum Anglicarum and Ralph of Coggeshall's Chronicum Anglicanum, written in about 1189 and 1220 respectively. Between then and their rediscovery in the mid-19th century, the green children seem to surface only in a passing mention in William Camden's Britannia in 1586, and in Bishop Francis Godwin's fantastical The Man in the Moone, in both of which William of Newburgh's account is cited.
Woolpit is a village in the English county of Suffolk, midway between the towns of Bury St. Edmunds and Stowmarket. In 2007 it has a population of 2,030. It is notable for the 12th-century legend of the green children of Woolpit and for its parish church, which has especially fine medieval woodwork. Administratively Woolpit is a civil parish, part of the district of Mid Suffolk.
History
The village's name, first recorded in the 10th century as Wlpit and later as Wlfpeta, derives from the Old Englishwulf-pytt, meaning "pit for trapping wolves".
The story of the Green Children of Woolpit tells of two children, a boy and a girl with green skin who mysteriously appeared in the village of Woolpit, England during the 12th century. Who were they and where did they come from? #GreenChildren #Woolpit #SlappedHamMysteries

The Green Children Of Woolpit
In the 12th century, the small village of Woolpit in England was startled by the sudden appearance of two mysterious children. Their skin was green, and their clothes were made of an unfamiliar material. They spoke a language no one understood and seemed bewildered by their surroundings.
In this video, we dive into the mysterious and fascinating story of the Green Children of Woolpit. In the 12th century, two children with green skin appeared in the English village of Woolpit, speaking an unknown language and refusing to eat anything but green beans. As their story unfolds, they reveal that they came from a strange, twilight land known as St. Martin's Land. Despite centuries of speculation, the origins of the green children remain a mystery.
Were these children from a hidden underground world, or could they have been part of a now-lost medieval village? Some theories suggest they might have been Flemish immigrants or sufferers of a rare medical condition, while others point to folklore and even extraterrestrial explanations.
Join us as we explore the history, theories, and legends surrounding the green children, and delve into one of England’s most intriguing unsolved mysteries.

The legend of the green children of Woolpit concerns two children of unusual skin colour who reportedly appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England, some time in the 12th century, perhaps during the reign of King Stephen. The children, brother and sister, were of generally normal appearance except for the green colour of their skin. They spoke in an unknown language, and the only food they would eat was beans. Eventually they learned to eat other food and lost their green pallor, but the boy was sickly and died soon after he and his sister were baptised. The girl adjusted to her new life, but she was considered to be "rather loose and wanton in her conduct". After she learned to speak English, the girl explained that she and her brother had come from Saint Martin's Land, a subterranean world inhabited by green people.
The only near-contemporary accounts are contained in William of Newburgh's Historia rerum Anglicarum and Ralph of Coggeshall's Chronicum Anglicanum, written in about 1189 and 1220 respectively. Between then and their rediscovery in the mid-19th century, the green children seem to surface only in a passing mention in William Camden's Britannia in 1586, and in Bishop Francis Godwin's fantastical The Man in the Moone, in both of which William of Newburgh's account is cited.
[ 10,000 Maniacs ] An Augist day in the hills of Spain, a pair of children emerged from a cave. The strangest sight there alone they stood, with skin of green and words no one had heard. The girl was stronger, the boy was weak, with her new mother she learned to speak. And wove a tale of a dying sun, they had left darkness, a dark world come undone. They travelled so far. Believing they came from a star. She fell through life, through time, through parallel lives. The men of science, the men of fame, the men of letters tried to explain: Was it parallel worlds or a twist of time to make her think she'd fallen from the sky? A whirlwind spun them all alone, took them from their twilight home. Believing they came from a star.
