The Medieval Mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit

from Megalithic Marvels · host Derek Olson

In this episode I break down the fascinating twelfth century account of the "Green Children of Woolpit," who seemingly appeared out of nowhere one evening near the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England during harvest season. Why did these children have green skin? Where did they come from? Were they really humans? I will attempt to answer some of these questions and also share many theories regarding these enigmatic kids. Next, we will travel to Utah to investigate the very strange six fingered “Bigfoot” petroglyph located in the Uinta Basin. No other petroglyph figure possesses feet of this size, proportion and nature anywhere else in this style or region. Was the ancient artist depicting what he saw or maybe what his ancestors said they saw according to their oral traditions? Might this be depicting a hybrid demi-god from the old world that descended into the American south-west in ages past?Lastly, I will read an enigmatic account found in the digital archives of the library of congress that speaks of some large skeletons with four fingers and four toes unearthed in a Connecticut quarry in the 1800s.
