Ancient X Files

The programme tracks the oldest suspected vampire, tracing its history, folklore and the clues left behind. It also examines reported sightings of two alien‑like children in a rural English village, probing the local legends and the enigmatic mystery surrounding them.

The broadcast is an episode titled Vampire Killers & Green Children Mystery. It is presented as a programme rather than a series, and it falls within the episode‑type genre. The format follows the conventions of a documentary‑style investigation, offering viewers a focused look at two separate, yet oddly linked, phenomena. In this instalment, the investigation centres on two main strands. First, the team tracks the history and evidence surrounding what is claimed to be the oldest suspected vampire on record. Their enquiry follows the clues left behind by this ancient figure, attempting to separate folklore from fact. The second strand shifts to an English village where reports have emerged of two children described as “alien‑like”. The programme examines these alleged sightings, gathering testimony and visual material to piece together what might have happened. Both threads are explored within the same regional setting, allowing the producers to juxtapose the long‑standing vampire legend with the more recent, uncanny accounts of the green‑tinged children. By moving between the historical hunt for the vampire and the contemporary claims of extraterrestrial‑resembling youngsters, the episode offers a dual narrative that remains rooted in the two core mysteries introduced at the outset.
