  • THREE STORIES: The Most Mysterious Children in History
    In 12th century England, two children were found lost in a forest. They spoke only gibberish, wore strange clothing and had bright green skin. When the children finally learned to speak English, they described where they were from. And that's why, after almost 1,000 years, people still talk about The Green Children of Woolpit.
    In 1828, a teenage boy was shuffling through a public square in Nuremburg. He seemed confused and disoriented. He had trouble walking and speaking. When police finally approached him, he was holding an envelope containing two letters. And those letters sparked the mystery of Kaspar Hauser.
    In April 1922, in Brittany, France, 2-year-old Pauline Picard went missing. A massive search turned up nothing. The family was losing hope.
    A month later, Pauline was found wandering around a village over 200 miles away. Though her parents were overjoyed to have her back, they soon realized something wasn't quite right with their daughter.
    These are three unsolved cases of the most mysterious children in history.

    I can’t thank you enough for this channel.
    My dad had a heart attack last week and was in congestive heart failure and all the time I was with him at the hospital or back at home, I was binge watching your videos to keep my mind from going certain places. When he was feeling much better the other day, Dad and I were watching together and he was thoroughly impressed with every video he watched and he’s become a fan himself. And he loves Hecklefish who I swear is my dad’s spirit animal.
    Dad went home today, on his birthday, and he said he was looking forward to getting in his comfy chair and watching the rest of your videos.
    So thank you for keeping me from losing it the last week. Thank you for giving my dad something new and totally awesome to watch. And most definitely, thank you for Hecklefish!!!

    In 2002 attempt was made at the Department of Forensic Medicine at the University of Münster. Kaspar Hauser's hat, trousers and a number of curls were tested. The material came partly from Anselm von Feuerbach's private collection. The genetic code was the same in all items tested. They compared the genetic material to Astrid von Medinger, who was a descendant of Charles of Baden and Stephanie de Beauharnais, and it turned out that the DNA matched 95%.

    One of the things you do so well with the channel is pacing. Maybe it's your background in production but the brilliance of using title cards and cut screens every time the audience has a question and then coming back in with the answer is just brilliant. It's like a mature version of the call and response that you often see in children's television. "Who? How? What? Why?" "Let me tell you." It's such a smooth way to engage with your audience beyond the comment section.

    As for the green children I once knew a girl who was orange ( the truth). Her mother said she would only eat orange foods, so her skin was orange. As she started eating other colored foods the orange color went away. Like flamingoes who are mostly pink from eating mostly shrimp. It makes sense.

    As far as the green tint to their skin, I can say that that happened to me when I was a child too. I would only eat yellow vegetables that's it, my mom said that I wouldn't eat anything that wasn't corn or squash ECT. My skin turned yellow because of the pigmentation. They figured this out when they took me to the hospital and thought I was jaundice but I wasn't, it was from the pigmentation of the only foods that I would eat.

    The green children fascinated me when I first read about them as a child (obsessed with the paranormal since 1984 thanks Ghostbusters) and I always fancied the fairyland idea. But after listening to your episode about how we've evolved to see colour, I wonder if they really were green, perhaps just very yellow from jaundice? I'm also leaning toward being from another country, in the 12th century most people only knew their own region and had no experience of the languages, culture and costume of far away places. The deeper mystery is how they got so far away from their homeland...maybe *that part* is a time slip. 😉

      This story has happened in a lot of countries but because Americans speak English let’s just say it was England but it was Germany were this story was first told. So if a few countries are claiming it happened in their country well then it’s a hoax because no children could survive on one source of food.

    • @dr.feelgood.1330

      Exactly the story didn’t begin in England because England had only three languages I think they were brought far away from their homes and left in a field near a town or village and maybe they were sick and were off color. The first people to tell this story were Germans so it had to be children from some place in Europe or euro Asia.

    The last story sounds like the Missing 411 phenomenon. You should do a video on that. It’s very intriguing and mysterious. David Paulides is great and all, but sometimes his storytelling gets a bit depressing because he talks about suicide constantly.
    This is because his son committed suicide a couple years ago, which seemed to me like not much of a coincidence since his father was in the middle of uncovering one of the biggest mysteries in recent history. That is a story within itself if you ask me.
