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. 😊
So much to digest and mull over this story, couldn't help but think the 'cave' they walked through sounds a bit like a portal hole - if indeed there is such a thing. Thanks EV, great research, think this story is going to go on for a long time, such as the puzzle it is.
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.
@@eeriesvault Credit where it's due Eerie's 👍...down the rabbit hole we go. 😁 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?
I came back to say that I enjoy your accent! Is it East Anglian? I'm not asking you to dox yourself, a vague area will do if you wish to answer! I grew up in that neck of the woods but I was near St. Ives of the Seven Cats fame.
I'm flabbergasted by this story I just don't know..I think they obviously came through a portal just like some of the stories told we can go through portals or other dimensions and see other times I think that's what happened with them and they actually got stuck here and it was documented..
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.
Sounds like they may have been Based on a fairy lore. Then maybe a legend of strangers being found in the village got mixed up. The thing about children Not eating stuff that was only green reminds me of people not eating fairy food .
13:35 'Dyed with a green color.' This suggests body paint. Could they simply have been from a non-Christian country and culture? One that jumps to mind is Lithuania.
It's an interesting distinction that it said "dyed". And the gradual loss of pigment might just be the dye wearing off rather than the food causing it.

If they had come from a Christian land, they would have been baptized shortly after being born. Having them baptized again might indicate a dash of local doubt as to their story.
Apparently The girl married a local and had children I dont know if anyone has ever done any DNA testing in that area it would certainly be interesting
They were children of Belgium cloth makers the skin was green because of the dyes their parents used the boy on the vegetables because that's all he knew for food boy finally died of poor nutrition the girl stayed in the area learn English and went to work as a maid for local Lord or night I know this for two reasons I spent a lot of time in that area as a child and I am a fan of Horrible Histories and the story was part of the scary stories section
Man, as I have listened to more of your videos, your voice has become more epic. Your accent is amazing and the videos are great!
Awesome comment 👍👍
Same.
I’ve been wondering where his accent is from.
Mainly heard in the word LARGE.
@@eeriesvault Where in the world is that accent from anyway? I personally enjoy it to no end, but cannot quite nail it down.
@@bigbossimmotal Sounds like Yorkshire or Manchester, around there (northern England), with a slight mix of Midlands in just some of the words
@@callum105 Thank you, I appreciate it!

I've heard this a million times...you've brought this alive like no other. Love your work.
Loved reading this comment thank you
When you said the comment section wasn’t just to mock your accent I felt so bad! I like your accent!

It's sooo interesting. I am reading the book all over again.
Being Flemish myself, I can confirm we usually don't look green. u_u
Good to know 😆
Disinformation :)
....are you sure?
@@creepingdread88 *Checks mirror* Yes! Except maybe after a night of heavy drinking 🤔
@@wouterl5316 That's fair 😄
Great investigation! I loved it soooo much, i listened to it twice! ❤🎉😊
I'm reading the book again lol
Excellent as always 👌
Your accent is marvellous, Sir Eerie.
Well done on having a very pleasant accent!
Thanks for the wonderful video. Greetings from Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks very much 👍
Lots of good info concerning these strange children. Good research😊
Very interesting.
Very!
Who's mocking your accent? I love your accent!
That’s an amazing story ( I believe it happened)

Great ideas 👌...largely correct, imho.
This also seems to be the over arching theme of the book. I'm having to read it again to get my head round it

Bonis Omnia Bona , Buddy no mocking ,intended , nothing but appreciation !!
Awesome thanks 👍
Push PLAY, Hit LIKE, It's just automatic with your videos. I know they will always be good!
Awesome! Thank you 👍
Imagine walking through the woods picking berries...
when all of sudden you fall through the ground into a hole with 2 starving wolves in it.
Not getting out of that!
She might have descendants if she married and had kids of her own
The clue is in the name of the church in the adjacent village. Never underestimate the belif of a chlls mind.

I'm from St Martin's Land 😂😂
I'm guessing somewhere in the north west, between Manchester and Liverpool, or possibly the Stoke area.
the throwing of beans might be more effective if they are left in the tin
😂 yes
where is the narrator's unique accent from?

No they didn't. They were just envious, very envious children.... 🧟🧟

The biggest mystery is the narrator's accent.

Hang on are you the retro tv guy?
I am, welcome to Eeries Vault 👍👍
So know we know the source for John Wyndham midwitch cuckoo's

it would certainly be interesting
👍🐿😎
Ummmmm..dying yur skin green...?!
They were children of Belgium cloth makers the skin was green because of the dyes their parents used the boy on the vegetables because that's all he knew for food boy finally died of poor nutrition the girl stayed in the area learn English and went to work as a maid for local Lord or night I know this for two reasons I spent a lot of time in that area as a child and I am a fan of Horrible Histories and the story was part of the scary stories section
I really want to hear these stories but I find the pronunciation extremely distracting and off putting.
You just need to get used to it.
