The Green Children of Woolpit

The Green Children of Woolpit are a strange medieval account from 12th century England. Two children with green-tinted skin reportedly appeared in a village, speaking an unknown language and eating only beans. They eventually adapted, lost their green hue, and learned English, claiming to come from a twilight land called St. Martin. Theories range from Flemish immigrants to folklore, but their story remains an enduring mystery often cited in discussions of historical anomalies.
