十大神秘人物第一位——伍匹德的绿孩子

伍匹德的绿孩子其实是有两个孩子,他们在12世纪时出现于英国索夫克郡伍匹德的一个乡村里。一个男孩一个女孩,他们一身的绿色的皮肤,此外一切外表都跟平常人一样。他们说着一种不为人知的语言,拒绝吃任何食物除了豆荚的豆子。后来,他们的皮肤褪去了绿色。当他们学会了英语,向人们解释说,他们来自“圣马丁地”,那里是个黑暗的地方,因为太阳在地平线下,从来不见升起。他们说,他们是在照看父亲的牛群的时候,听到钟声然后沿着一条光河一路走,最后发现他们来到了伍匹德。

一些非同寻常的理论,试图解释孩子的由来。有的说他们是地心的孩子;有的说是二维世界的孩子;而有的直接说他们是外星人的孩子。

1 Green Children of Woolpit

The Green Children of Woolpit were two children who appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, UK, in the 12th century. The children were brother and sister and they had green colored skin. Their appearance was normal in all other areas. They spoke an unrecognized language and refused to eat anything other than pitch from bean pods. Eventually their skin lost its green color. When they learned English they explained that they were from the 'Land of St Martin' which was a dark place because the sun never rose far above the horizon. They claimed that they were tending their father’s herd and followed a river of light when they heard the sounds of bells - finding themselves in Woolpit.

Some of the more unusual theories proposed for the origin of the children are that they were Hollow Earth children, parallel dimension children, or Extraterrestrial children.
