Whose Kids are These? Green Children of Woolpit!

Oddity Shop

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your curator Kara, has a tale about some oddball green kids!
Join us as we unravel the enigmatic tale of the Green Children of Woolpit from 1150 England. Picture this: two green-skinned children emerge from a wolf pit, wearing strange garments and speaking an unknown language. We explore their mysterious origins, unique dietary habits, and gradual assimilation into society. Agnes, the girl, offers an eerie account of a twilight-lit land, adding layers of intrigue to this historical curiosity. From theories of malnutrition and trauma to fantastical ideas like aliens and inner earth kingdoms, we weigh each possibility and share our thoughts on this bizarre case.
As our episode winds down, we invite you to share your own theories on the Green Children and suggest future topics. Upcoming features include listener-submitted stories, with tantalizing ideas like Haunted Lakes or Haunted Islands in Michigan already on our radar. Don't forget to drop a green heart emoji if you've listened to the end! Your support keeps the Oddity Shop buzzing with the weird and wonderful—we can't wait to bring you more. Stay tuned and keep those stories coming!
