During the reign of King Stephen, villagers near Woolpit in Suffolk found two frightened children beside the old wolf pits. Their skin was green. Their words made no sense. They wept, refused all food but broad beans — and later, the surviving girl described a sunless country she called St. Martin's Land.

Tonight, Lucy and Ellie walk the whole strange trail:

  • The two medieval chroniclers who recorded it — including a famous skeptic who caved
  • The clues: green skin, the beans, the unknown tongue, and the fear underneath it all
  • The eerie arrival — a cavern, a sound of bells, and a door that never reopened
  • Three theories on trial: lost refugees, fairyland folklore, and the "weird door" of aliens and portals
  • The forgotten boy who didn't survive — and the girl who did
  • And Agnes: the survivor who got a name, a temper, a marriage, and a whole life history almost never tells

The most likely truth is human — and no less haunting for it. Some answers just stay as wonder, lost in time.
