Subject: Green children
This is from my dad's copy of Reader's Digest's Mysteries of the Unexplained:
Two children appeared from a cave near Banjos, Spain, in August
1887.
Their skin was green, and their clothes were of an unfamiliar material. They could not speak Spanish, and their eyes appeared Oriental.
At first they would not eat, and the boy died, but the girl survived and learned enough Spanish to explain that they came from a sunless land, where one day a whirlwind had swept her and her companion away and deposited them in the cave. Understandably, this did little to dispel the wonder surrounding her. She died in 1892, her origins still unknown.
The book sites the source as being Colin Wilson, Enigmas and
Mysteries, p.131.
There is also an illustration with the caption "The story of the green children found in Spain is remarkably similiar to that of two green children- a boy and a girl- who emerged from a cave in Woolpit, England, in the 11th century; the girl said they came from a sunless land." But I haven't found any entry in the book that talks about this other appearance. The whole thing sounds weird, but then again, that's what the book is about.
Hope
