    The Green Children of Woolpit

    This week we go back in time to discuss the case of the green children of Woolpit. We learn about the town, wolf pits, medical history, and two kids who really love beans. Was it just a folk story? Or is it a historic event explained by medical science? Could they have been fae? Or maybe they were beings from a Christian town in Hollow Earth... Take a shot every time we say crotch goblin in the first 10 minutes (warning: you may get alcohol poisoning).
