The Green Children of Woolpit: Medieval Mystery or Alien Encounter?

Send us Fan MailDive into the shadows with Andi and Feliz on the You Two Scare Me Podcast as they unravel the baffling tale of the Green Children of Woolpit. This medieval mystery from 12th-century Suffolk, England, recounts the sudden appearance of two children with strikingly green skin, speaking an unknown language, and refusing all food except raw broad beans.Explore the historical accounts from William of Newburgh and Ralph of Coggeshall, whose independent writings lend an eerie credibility to this bizarre event. What caused their green hue? Why did they only eat fava beans? And where did they truly come from?Andi and Feliz delve into various theories, from the grounded to the unhinged. Could it be a case of hypochromic anemia among Flemish immigrants, as proposed by historian Paul Harris? Or does the story hint at ancient folklore and a passage to an underworld, where beans are the food of the dead? Perhaps it's a coded narrative about racial difference and assimilation, as suggested by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen.For those who love the truly unexplained, consider the most out-there theory: an alien encounter. Astronomer Duncan Lunan suggests the children could be from a planet orbiting a red dwarf star, explaining their green skin and perpetual twilight home.Join the You Two Scare Me Podcast for a chilling journey through history, legend, and the paranormal.
