In this episode of Forgotten Mysteries, we explore the baffling 12th-century legend of The Green Children of Woolpit. One day, villagers in Suffolk, England, discovered two unusual children—a boy and a girl—who had green skin, wore unknown clothing, and spoke in an incomprehensible language. They refused all food except raw broad beans. Over time, the girl adapted to normal food and lost her green hue, but the boy tragically passed away.

As the girl learned English, she revealed that she and her brother came from Saint Martin’s Land, a place of eternal twilight where everyone had green skin. They had wandered into a cave after hearing bells and emerged into the bright world of Woolpit, unable to return.

Historians and theorists have debated their origins for centuries. Some suggest malnutrition caused their green appearance, while others believe they were Flemish refugees displaced by war. More fantastical theories propose that they were travelers from another dimension or an underground civilization.

Despite centuries of speculation, the truth behind the Green Children remains a mystery. Were they lost orphans, supernatural visitors, or something else entirely? The story continues to intrigue and mystify.

In 1587, over 100 English settlers established a colony on Roanoke Island, led by John White. However, when White returned from England in 1590 after a three-year absence, he found the colony completely deserted. The only clue left behind was the word "CROATOAN" carved into a tree.

The fate of the settlers remains a mystery. Some believe they were absorbed into the friendly Croatan tribe, while others think they were killed by hostile tribes or Spanish forces. Some suggest they perished at sea attempting to return to England. More speculative theories include supernatural forces and even alien abductions.

Archaeological discoveries suggest that at least some settlers may have integrated with Native American communities, as European artifacts have been found in indigenous sites. Another theory proposes that the disappearance was planned, with White's settlers relocating inland due to drought and hardship.

Despite various theories, no definitive evidence has ever been found. The word CROATOAN remains an eerie and unexplained clue, making the Roanoke Colony one of history’s most enduring mysteries.
