These children’s disappearance troubled the 
world for years. But when they were found,   everyone wished they disappeared again. The 
same young spirits that once brought joy to   their families now brought heartbreaks 
and puzzling questions to communities. Who are these children? What happened to 
them that turned their existence upside   down? Why do these baffling child 
mysteries forever remain unsolved? We will find out together in this new 
episode of Secret Origins. Welcome! In the 12th century England’s news outlets caught 
fire one story lay on the lips of every villager   the front page of every newspaper and on the 
records of every Storyteller and this is why two   children a young boy and an older girl walked out 
of the woods in the village of woolpit but they   were no ordinary children one look at them and 
your first guess would be that they were not from   this world although the Children looked like 
humans their clothes did not their dressing did   not follow the styles and colors known to mankind 
at the time when a local farmer approached them to   ask where they were from the children could not 
comprehend a word the farmer said and when they   spoke all that came out was gibberish but this 
was not the most startling part about these lost   children what shocked the villagers was the way 
they looked their skin was green in color a bright   green that seemed to glow in the dark the strange 
children were brought to the home of an esteemed   Knight in the town Sir Richard Deon believed to 
be the man with the best resources to shelter   the children Sir Richard took them in it was from 
his account that many writers and historians Drew   their stories about the mysterious children now 
while at the house of Sir Richard more details   about the green children unfolded no matter what 
food they were offered they could not eat it for   several days the children starved until one food 
was brought to them raw green beans they ravished   this newfound meal with joy taking in every Sprout 
as though it were their favorite for months they   thrived on green beans alone with time they began 
to feel at home and even looked healthier under   the care of Sir Richard they gradually tried out 
the regular Foods consumed by the villagers as   they did their green colored skin began to fade 
away till it was completely gone but this display   of belonging was shortlived after a few months the 
boy fell seriously ill despite interventions from   the local healers none of their remedies worked 
on him he passed away shortly after leaving the   strange girl alone with Sir Richard deal and 
his family by this time the girl was already   learning to speak English soon she could speak 
intelligently enough to explain from whence they   came and when she did speak about it the city was 
thrown into further confusion the girl who was   later named Agnes by the night explained that the 
boy with her was her brother together they came   from a land where there was no sun and the light 
was like Twilight according to Agnes they were   both tending to their father’s flock when they saw 
an eerie looking cave C curious to uncover what   was inside the Cave the children moved closer that 
was when they heard it bell sounds ringing loudly   from within the dark cave to Agnes and her brother 
the bell sounds were the strangest and most   beautiful thing they ever heard so they followed 
it entered the cave and felt like they were moving   to a new world when they emerged at the other side 
of the cavern they could not find their way back   Agnes further described her home to the listening 
Sir Richard she said they came from an underground   Village called St Martin’s land in St Martin’s 
land the inhabitants all looked dressed and   spoke the same way there was no daylight in the 
village and everyone had green skin Agnes recalled   how Lush and green her world looked although she 
spoke with light in her eyes and utmost sincerity   her descriptions did not fit anywhere on planet 
Earth [Music] so people conceived theories to   explain where the green children of woolpit truly 
came from the villagers cooked up the idea that   the children were fairies perhaps they came from a 
fairy land whose entrance and exit gates were the   woods since fairies are said to have such entry 
and exit points this theory was perfect for the   villagers at the time however modern theorists are 
making further guesses some say the children came   from an entirely different Universe with an un 
usual climate this would explain the unfathomable   language the strange clothing and their rejection 
of the normal food consumed by most humans a more   recent Theory making the rounds is the alien 
thesis because of the recent research findings   on extraterrestrial life researchers wonder if 
Agnes and her brother were aliens who stumbled   on our planet by mistake that would also explain 
their green skin and initial bizarre behavior   since the green children of woolpit mystery 
happened a very long time ago many people now   consider it to be folklore we would have two 
except that there are accounts from writers   who interviewed the children’s caretaker Sir 
Richard da and other eyewitnesses one of these   writers was Ralph of kogasa his account was 
deemed most trusted by researchers because of   his physical proximity to the source however 
Ralph told the story in a flower y manner he   inserted exaggerations where he could adding 
to the mystery of The Surreal story rather than   demystifying it another writer William of Newberg 
wrote about the life of Agnes and her brother in   journalist style sticking to the facts he got 
from trustworthy sources but Williams account   was placed right under Ralph’s as he resided far 
north from woolpit a distance considered too far   to have secured accurate details of about the 
event despite the varying storytelling formats   used by both writers their records were similar 
it was reported that Agnes stayed with Sir Richard   for many years before marrying a royal official 
named Richard bar but the question about their   origin remains modern scientists attributed their 
green skin to a condition called closis This is a   type of iron deficiency that they believe could 
have plagued the children after wandering in the   woods without good food this explanation made more 
sense when historians suggested that the children   were Flemish refugees from the then ongoing Battle 
of fornum what if they were orphaned from the war   and fled to woolpit to save their lives this 
would have become the widely accepted Theory   except that it was debunked by another historian 
if the children were Flemish refugees and they   did speak Dutch surely an educated man like 
Sir Richard dealy would have recognized it on   and on it goes speculations and endless theories 
to explain who the children were where they came   from and what their mission was but to date 
The Mysterious green children of wpit remain unsolved in April 1922 the city of Britany France 
witnessed a disturbing event 2-year-old Pauline   peard suddenly disappeared from her home without a 
trace throwing her family into a frustrated frenzy   but when she was eventually found her people had 
more regrets than Joy this is the mysterious story   of Pauline Picard in the small village of goas 
aludo Pauline played on the Picard Family Farm   like any normal toddler she wandered off in her 
playfulness but when her mother searched for her   she was nowhere to be found the Picard family set 
off a diligent search for their daughter over 150   able-bodied people went on a full-time job looking 
for Pauline but the more they combed the farm and   its surrounding environment the more futile their 
search The Grieving family soon concluded that   their daughter may have been devoured by the 
wild beasts of the forest even worse perhaps   Pauline had either starved to death or passed away 
from harsh weather conditions gradually the search   became more passive than active the memory of the 
child lingered on the minds of her family members   who hoped that one day they could see their lost 
daughter again but they did not hope for long one   month later the police visited the home of the 
Picard family with a familiar photograph it was   a picture of a young girl who was found wandering 
by herself in a town called sh sh Borg but there   was one problem Sher Borg was over 200 Mi away 
from where the Picard family resided however   Pauline’s parents were Overjoyed to see the 
photograph Pauline had been found or so they   thought they hopped on the next train to cherborg 
to retrieve their once lost daughter but when the   pecards met the girl at cherborg something was 
a miss the youngster did look like Pauline but   there were other glaring descrip ancies the child 
did not speak or understand Breton which was the   language the Picard spoke at home and no matter 
how much they tried to jog her memory the child   did not seem to remember them this newly found 
Pauline had Pauline Picard’s face but showed no   resemblance in personality or cognizance the child 
had been malnourished and traumatized for weeks   it was normal for her to exhibit such Strange 
Behaviors this was what the Picard’s concluded   before taking the young girl home but over the 
next few weeks the Picard family was Restless   they could not find a suitable explanation for 
Pauline winding up so far away from home after   one month her Detachment and lack of familiarity 
with her parents and siblings also contributed   to the confusion was this Pauline Picard or had 
they in their search for their daughter brought   home an unintended impostor what if the real 
Pauline was still out in the woods and in grave danger soon enough the Picard family got 
their answer a few weeks after the new   Pine was retrieved from cherborg a farmer was 
cycling past the Picard’s farm when he found a   horrifying sight barely one mile away from the 
farm lay the mutilated naked body of a little   girl the hands and feet were missing but this 
was not all there were more disturbing SES to   uncover beside the mutilated body was a set of 
clothes neatly folded they were later confirmed   by the pecards to be the same clothes paulene 
wore the day she went missing as an awful icing   on the cake the severed head of a man lay 
just beside the mutilated body and neatly   folded clothes but it was unrecognizable as the 
face was already eaten by Foxes once again goas   aludo was thrown into chaos with more questions 
than answers was the body really Pauline Picard’s   whose severed head lay beside the body and 
more importantly if this was Pauline Picard   who was the little girl brought in from shour the 
police soon arrived for the next three torturous   days the corpses were heavily guarded as 
an autopsy was carried out unfortunately   medical examiners at the time could not establish 
what was the certain cause of death three options   were considered violence and murder from an 
attacker wild animals or a sworded death from   weather elements but which one was true newspapers 
sold massive numbers with the headline two girls   one slain resemble Lost Child although the police 
and the pecards concluded that the decomposing   body was Pauline Picard the discrepancies kept 
Rising how the body was found in an area that   was thoroughly searched when the toddler went 
missing was unexplainable this meant that whoever   brought the body wanted it to be discovered 
so a search for suspects began at first the   villagers pointed at a man named Kristoff keramon 
Kristoff was a farmer who occasionally worked for   the Picard’s but there was a Twist he had been 
imprisoned for rape 5 years before the Pauline   Picard in incident on the 6th of April 1922 the 
same day Pauline went missing caramon visited the   farm and paid close attention to Pauline Picard 
before leaving around noon but the fondness was   not new Carman would always cuddle the little 
girl and even promised to find her a good home   in another town it was said that the two had been 
alone together when the child disappeared so when   the mutilated body was found the police arrested 
car on however he was later released after his   Alibi had been checked out the second suspect was 
a man named Eve Martin before the body was found   Martin had visited the Picard Farm acting uneasy 
and asking if the girl from cherborg was Pauline   after a while he cried out God is fair I am guilty 
before laughing hysterically and running out from   the Picard home the next day he was admitted to 
an asylum this rendered whatever testimony he   might have had useless the town’s people deduced 
that Martin’s breakdown may have been due to guilt   from Pauline’s death however the news carried 
that Eve Martin had suffered a brain injury   before his bizarre confession the Picard family 
tried to heal from the trauma of losing their   child in such a gruesome manner they buried the 
decomposing body with the day of death slated as   the 6th of April 192 to the day she disappeared as 
they lay her on the earth they hoped to bury their   grief alongside it was clear that this case would 
remain [Music] unsolved as for the foundling the   Picard’s returned her to cherborg after deciding 
that she was not the real Pauline it became clear   that she seemed younger than their daughter she 
was reamed Marie Louise Pauline and was entrusted   into the care of The Franciscan sisters of Ram 
du where she died from the measles epidemic in 1924 if Pauline Picard’s case shook you to your 
bones then brace yourself this similar story would   leave you feeling more perplexed in 1912 a boy 
named Bobby Dunbar disappeared during a family   fishing trip after 8 months investigators found 
the child and returned turned him to the Dunbar   many decades later evidence surfaced to prove that 
the boy found in Mississippi was not Bobby Dunbar   so what happened to the real Bobby and who was the 
foundling who lived his entire life as the missing   child of the Dunbar when Bobby Dunbar was only 4 
years old the Dunbar embarked on a family fishing   trip to suy Lake in St Landry Parish Louisiana 
on August 23rd w on the trip Bobby disappeared   like in Pauline Picard’s case Bobby’s parents 
invested every possible resource in looking for   their child the Frantic search spanned for 
months 8 months later good news surfaced a   boy who looked like Bobby Dunbar was spotted 
with a man named William canwell Walters the   Dunbar were Overjoyed their son had been found 
but there was a problem although the authority   had seized Walters in wait for the dunbar’s 
arrival Walters insisted that the child was   not Bobby Dunbar but Charles Bruce Anderson 
according to Walters Bruce was the son of a   family help named Julia Anderson and she had 
willingly granted him custody of the child   Julia Anderson showed up to back William Walter’s 
testimony and confirmed that the boy was truly her   son however Anderson confessed that she only 
let him take her son on a two-day trip to see   a relative but Walters had been traveling around 
with her son for almost a year without her consent   the Dunbar were having none of this charade they 
traveled down to see their lost son at once one   newspaper account said that once the child saw 
lesie Dunbar he screamed mother and embraced her   another revealed that Leslie Dunbar said she was 
unsure whether the boy was her son some accounts   insisted that the found boy even recognized Alonzo 
Dunbar the younger son of the the dunar while some   denied this the matter was taken to trial for fair 
play for Julia Anderson two mothers looking for   their lost son who did the child really belong to 
Anderson was given her chance to identify her son   five different boys were shown to her but she 
could not accurately pick which one was Bruce   Anderson the news spread like wildfire how can 
a mother not recognize her child at first glance Anderson pleaded for a second chance when she 
undressed Bobby she confirmed from the moles   and scars on his body that he was her son but 
it was too late her initial lack of conviction   weighed against the purported reaction of the 
child towards Leslie Dunbar from that moment the   boy became Bobby Dunbar and he was happily taken 
home to Louisiana where he lived with the Dunbar   identity till death since Julia Anderson was 
unmarried merely a field help and lacked resources   she could not pursue the case any further she went 
home to North Carolina and let sleeping dogs lie   but sleeping dogs would not lie forever in the 
year 2000 decades after Bobby Dunbar passed away   his granddaughter Margaret cutright Dunbar would 
dig up the past with her research came shocking   revelations that threatened to tear the Dunbar 
family apart Margaret combed newspapers and   interviewed the last of Julia Anderson’s children 
eventually a DNA test was carried out on Bobby’s   son Bob Dunbar Jr the results showed that he 
was not related by blood to his supposed cousin   who was the son of Alonzo Dunbar once again media 
networks went into a frenzy if the boy who lived   as Bobby Dunbar was a lie where was the real Bobby 
Dunbar what if Julia Anderson had been cheated off   her child there were questions but no answers 
and to date The Mystery of Bobby Dunbar remains unsolved in 1828 a teenage boy appeared in nurburg 
Germany barely able to speak or walk all that   could be used to identify his origin were two 
letters which he had held tightly with his head   downcast the strange youth was taken to the house 
of Captain Fon vasig a learned man to whom one of   the letters was addressed the anonymous author 
wrote that he has always had custody of the boy   since he was an infant teaching him to read and 
write but never letting him leave the house the   second letter was purportedly written by the 
boy’s mother to his caretaker in this letter   she stated his name to be Caspar and his date of 
birth to be the 30th of of April 1812 although   both letters were confusing the authors agreed on 
one thing Casper wanted to be a cavalryman like   his father and whoever found him had to Grant 
this wish or kill him but of course the letters   were too suspicious to be believed the 16-year-old 
boy was taken to the police station where he first   wrote his full name Caspar Hower and admitted to 
being confined by a captor all his life Hower kept   exhibiting contrasting sign signs of timidity and 
intelligence sometimes he would speak gibberish   and display a limited vocabulary at other times 
he showed an excellent memory and proved to be   a quick learner physically he looked and acted 
sickly but while at the station officers noticed   that he could climb over 90 steps to his room by 
himself Hower added to the confusion by refusing   every meal aside from bread and water this led to 
buzzing theories about the true identity of the   the boy and the reason for his absurd Behavior 
eventually Hower was kept in the care of a   school master and speculative philosopher called 
Frederick Dalmer where he flourished and learned a   variety of subjects everything seemed to be going 
fine with the bewildering teen but in October 1829   this changed on the 17th of the same month kaspar 
was found bleeding from a cut wound to his head he   claimed to have been attacked by a hooded Man Who 
Bore a a resemblance to the man who first brought   him to nurburg but how’s story seemed implausible 
Skeptics suggested that Hower was a fraud who hurt   himself to gain attention in 1830 barely 6 months 
after the first incident Hower was found bleeding   from a surface head wound in his room this 
time he claimed to have shot himself by mistake   while trying to get a book from the top shelf 
where a pistol lay on the 9th of December 1933   there was yet another attack and this time 
it was the final one Hower claimed to have   been lured to ansbach court Garden where 
a stranger stabbed his chest after handing   him a purse the purse contained a penciled 
note which read Hower will be able to tell   you quite precisely how I look and from where 
I am to save Hower the effort I want to tell   you myself from where I come I come from the 
Bavarian border on the river I will even tell   you the name m l Hower died 3 days later from 
the wound muttering gibberish similar to what   he spoke on the first day he was found this is 
perhaps the strangest story of all as Caspar   how’s true identity could not be guessed 
some thought he was a prince and others   thought he was a fraud who needed to make 
a name at the time but who was Casper Hower really these are the stories of the most baffling 
child mysteries that remain unsolved the green   children of woolpit the mistaken Pauline Picard 
Bobby Dunbar who lived his whole life as a lie and   the infamous Casper Hower whose identity eludes 
historians to this day where did these mysterious   children all come from would it have been better 
for their Ames if they were never found we also   lack the answers if you enjoyed this video please
