The Green Children of Woolpit - What About Weird

What this episode covers

This week we go back in time to discuss the case of the green children of Woolpit. We learn about the town, wolf pits, medical history, and two kids who really love beans. Was it just a folk story? Or is it a historic event explained by medical science? Could they have been fae? Or maybe they were beings from a Christian town in Hollow Earth... Take a shot every time we say crotch goblin in the first 10 minutes (warning: you may get alcohol poisoning). If you have a personal weird story or topic suggestion please DM us on Instagram or BlueSky or send us an email at [email protected] Don't forget to follow us wherever you listen to podcasts. Thank you for listening!
