  • 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.

    With the girl's recollection of how they got to Woolpit, it sounds more interdimensional. The clothes being "of a strange fabric" is evidence of that but we'll never know now. Any witnesses are long dead. And I love your accent. It makes the stories more inviting. Thank you. 😊

    I have heard many tales of these children, including tales before the age of the internet. The cave, cave system, tunnel, etc was searched for extensively at the time (from what I heard) because they believed at the time that people lived within the Earth, and that by going into the ground, they could also travel to other worlds entirely, like the world of the Fae.
    To have command of such a tunnel, or doorway would make one insanely rich and powerful, both then and now. Which would explain the importance of looking so heavily for it, and for the King annexing the area for himself. If it had a gateway, he would want control of it. I wonder if the time that they spent captive and not fed was an attempt to get them to tell of the location of the doorway.
    I personally believe that there are other worlds or Realms. And I believe that there are places where the boundaries between worlds is very thin, and can be traversed, deliberately, or accidentally. I guess inter-dimensional travel would be as good an explanation as any, and the other worlds, simply other dimensions.
    In some ways, I feel that this story is about the lost gateway in Woolpit, and the children are just evidence of it's existence. Today, we view it as a story about green children because we do not believe in gateways or other worlds. But at the time, those kids could have been nothing more than the key to a wonderful treasure that I am calling a gateway, for lack of a better word. And naturally the King would want the girl cared for, housed, adopted and employed by one of his loyal nobles. Just in case she ever remembered a way back.

      Maybe consider how certain areas above ground have hidden entryways to below ground.
      Did the King know, hence his purchase of Woolpit and focus on the area.
      Could the green children with 'dyed skin' have been an elaborate hoax, perpetrated by the king and his cohorts.
      How much of mythology, old and new, is trickery, and manipulation of the truth?
      Even now, with the long, drawn out UFO 'disclosure'...the alien narrative may have been created to cover for secret scientific projects 🤔😉

    Interestingly there are accounts of a portal type episode witnessed at nearby Bradfield St. George (4 miles distant) where witnesses gave seen an unfamiliar house appear and disappear bathed in a strange yellowish light.
    Might these children have come through this portal and followed the river ‘Black Bourne’ to Woolpit?

    Great presentation. Duncan Lunan has good Latin so made interesting observations from his readings of the original transcripts taken by the monks.. One was, that the girl said, "we went out on the wrong day". He interperets this as indicating interplanetary matter transportation, possibly on a big scale. They got sucked in by being out at the wrong time, perhaps it was the cattle they were tending (hence "followed" not "herded") that were the matter to be moved. Very intriguing story anyway, & one that has come to perpetuate through many fairy tales & legends of being lost in caves, I remember one as a child where the lost children eventually emerge in to a land where there are NO church bells, but presumably the Woolpit story is the base of that one. Also the drainage ditches, or pits - the werewolves seem to emerge or disappear in these too, as do the sasquatch in accounts from N America.

      Me too, now I've seen the Latin and learned of the Flemish settlement. I don't buy the portal theory. Reckon the kids had jaundice brought on by long term malnutrition. The skin turns from yellow to a tinge of green when its really bad. The foods offered would have caused them severe pain and could have killed. Maybe they had seen that in their village, or maybe their digestive systems were shutting down.

    It's similar to the story of the lady of the lake from near where i live. A lake called Llyn y fan fach.
    The legend tells of a young cow herder who sees a beautiful young woman emerge from out of the debths of the glacier lake.
    He takes her home, marrries her and they have two sons. After slighting her three times, she returns to the lake with all her fairy cattle.
    The weirdest part of the story is that her two sons grew up to be two of the most famous healers in Wales, the physicians of Myddfai.

    It's not anyone's intelligence. Lunan is doing what all conspiritard s do. Luna takes any random event and just asserts these are connected. Without evidence, while ignoring his burden of proof. He keeps it just vague enough that you can read anything you want into it. From skeptics looking for actional evidence-based idea that comports with reality/. All ll the way to the faith-based/intuition/magical thinking assertions.
