In the 1100s, two children with green-colored skin reportedly appeared in the English village of Woolpit speaking an unknown language. As they adapted to local food, the green tint reportedly faded

The Green Children of Woolpit is a 12th-century English legend from Suffolk. Two siblings with green skin wandered into the village. They spoke an unknown language and ate only raw broad beans. The boy died shortly after, but the girl adapted to local food, lost her green tint, and learned English. Taken in by a local knight, Sir Richard de Calne, they refused standard food for days until they were given raw broad beans. Eventually, the children learned to eat other foods, and their green skin color gradually faded to a normal complexion.Sadly, the boy became ill and died. The girl, however, survived, was baptized, and was given the name Agnes. #facts #creepy #disturbing #History #folklore
