Woolpit

The ship may be gone, but the image of that empty deck, with the sewing machine still sitting where Sarah Briggs left it, remains the ultimate symbol of the ocean's ability to swallow human lives without leaving a single clue.

Now, the tale of the Green Children of Woolpit is one of the most enduring and unsettling legends from medieval England.

Unlike many folklore stories that exist in a vacuum of once upon a time, this event was recorded by two respected contemporary chroniclers, William of Newburgh and Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall.

Their accounts, written around twelve hundred AD, describe an event that allegedly took place during the reign of King Stephen, which was eleven thirty-five to eleven fifty-four.

Now, it's a mystery that sits uncomfortably between historical fact, folklore, and high-concept science fiction.

The story begins in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk.

The village took its name from the deep pits, wolf pits, dug to trap predators.

During the harvest, villagers were startled to find two children, a brother and a sister, crawling out of one of these pits.

I love it.

A village called Woolpit.

According to medieval chroniclers, two strange children appeared, a boy and a girl.

Their skin reportedly had a greenish colorization to it.

The real question about it was, was he guilty of murder or was he not guilty of murder? Let me tell you something quite interesting.

I live in England in a little town called Woolpit, which is about a one-horse town as close to a one-horse town as you can get with a horse still alive.

And I was asked to give a talk in Woolpit.

And what did they want me to talk about? Oscar Pistorius.

When your cat is acting weirder, or your dog is being louder, your turtle moves slower.

So then I started digging deeper, and that's how we got the show.

So this show is called Green Agnes, and it's about the green children of Woolpit.

Now, Woolpit is a small town in Suffolk, England, or the U.K., And in Old English, it's pronounced wolfpite, I believe.

I'm probably butchering that, but I think Old English is a dead language now, so it's not like anybody's going to correct us.

It's an ancient village.

And even though William himself wrote that the findings of his sources were doubtful, Historians later found evidence that he admitted he was compelled to believe this story.

Oh.

So when he talks about sources, he actually went to Woolpit and interviewed people And when he was doing his interviews, she supposedly, the girl who survived and was, you know, had married and everything, she was living like 30 miles away from where he was or something like that.

Okay, so that's that story.

And our third story... is about some mysterious fairy children that appeared in the town of Woolpit that's in Suffolk, England.

And this happened in the 12th century.

This is like a really old story.

And this one also has documentation coming from two different people.

All right, so this one's about two green children.

Walk out of a hole in Woolpit, England.
