Synopsis
Experience the atmospheric visual edition of this instalment on Jonathan Dunne's YouTube channel: Jonathan Dunne Horror Stories and Audiobooks.
Two children, a brother and a sister, emerge from a deep wolf pit in 12th-century Suffolk. Their skin is a striking shade of green, they speak an unrecognizable language, and they refuse to eat anything but raw bean stalks. Where did they come from, and what was the twilight world they called Saint Martin's Land?
Welcome to episode two of our historical true mystery series, where we dive into the legendary and unsettling case of the Green Children of Woolpit. Part medieval folklore, part historical anomaly, this bizarre event has baffled historians, scientists, and folklorists for centuries. We step into the misty landscapes of medieval England to uncover a true historical puzzle that challenges the boundaries of our reality.
CASE FILES & HISTORICAL REFERENCES
This long-form audio chronicle reconstructs history's most bizarre anomalies into immersive gothic narratives. To ensure accuracy, this script is grounded directly in the surviving 12th-century chronicles and historical data left behind by contemporary writers:
• William of Newburgh’s Historia rerum Anglicarum (c. 1189): The primary contemporary account detailing the capture of the children, their green complexion, and their unusual dietary restrictions.
• Ralph of Coggeshall’s Chronicon Anglicanum (c. 1220): A secondary medieval account gathered from Richard de Calne, the knight who took the children into his home and witnessed their acclimation.
• Suffolk County Historical Records: 12th-century regional data surrounding the Flemish immigration and the volatile political climate during the reign of King Stephen.
