The Mystery of the Green Children

The Mystery of the Green Children 

The children of woolpit is an ancient account dating back to the 12th century, which tells you the tail of the two children which appeared on the edge of the field in a small village of Woolpit in England.

The young boy and girl  had a green skin and spoke an known language. The children became sick and the boy died, but the girl survived and over the years came to learn English language.She later unveiled the story of their origin, saying they came from a land called St.Martin`s Land, which existed in an atmosphere of permanent twilight, where people lived underground.She and her brother were looking after their father`s flock, when they came upon a cave.They entered the cave and wondered through the darkness for long time until they came out the other side, entering on to the sun light.It was then they were found by the reapers.   

According to some accounts, as her skin got normal, she took the name ‘Agnes Barre’ the man she married was the ambassador of Henry II.

While some view the story as a folk tale that describes an imaginary encounter with inhabitants of another world beneath our feet or even extraterrestrial, many others accept it as a real, although somewhat altered account of a historical event that merits further investigation.
