I posted this very interesting story on another forum and thought you guys would like to hear it.
The following short story is from a book called World Famous Strange Tales & Weird Mysteries by Colin & Damon Wilson.
[ One day in August 1887 near the small village of Banjos, Spain, a boy and girl walked out of a cave. Some peasants working in a field saw them, and were utterly ammazed. The two children had skin as green as grass!
When seen closer, the children were found to have almond-shaped eyes of an Asiatic type. They could not speak Spanish, and they wore clothes of a material never before seen in the Spain of the nineteenth century. No one could understand their language, and no one could analyse the fabric. For five days the boy and girl would not eat any of the various foods brought to them. Finally they began to eat beans. By then the boy was so weakened that he died, but the girl survived. The green colour of her skin gradually faded.
After learning some Spansih, the girl described the country she came from and how she had left it. Her story only made the mystery deeper. She said her native land had no sun at all, and was separated from a sunny land by a river. One day a sudden whirlwind had lifted her and the boy and deposited them in the cave.
The green girl of Banjos lived for only five years more. The mystery of how she and the boy had appeared in Spain was never solved. ]
I've read this story many times and its very strange and intriguing. If anyone knows more about this story or their views on it please share, as i said its very interesting and I would love to know more.
