Welcome to Red Herrings!

This week, Brittany explores two strange and mysterious tales of unusual appearances that baffled both locals and historians. One involves a family in Kentucky whose skin color was unlike anything anyone had seen, and the other tells the story of two children appearing out of nowhere in medieval England with a shocking hue.

We’re uncovering the stories of the Blue Fugates and the Green Children of Woolpit, where genetics, legend, and unexplained circumstances create mysteries that still puzzle people today.
