In the fall of 1920, a group of Christian preachers, mostly Indians, made a mission trip to the Milnapor region of India. In one of the distant villages, the inhabitants turned to them with a request to rid them of spirits or ghosts from the nearby jungle.

The team, led by the Reverend J. Singh, so as not to question the power of faith, went into the jungle. An observation post was erected on a high tree, from where holes in the ground were visible. In the evening, a wolf suddenly appeared from one of them, followed by a second, third, their puppies, and, finally, the ghost himself appeared from the hole

It was indeed a terrible creature, with arms, legs and a torso like a human. Big round head, face is also quite human, eyes sparkle.

First, the monster, leaning its elbows on the edge of the hole, carefully looked around. But then it jumped to the ground and lined up behind the puppies. For the first ghost, the second appeared! It was exactly the same as the first, but smaller. Both ran on all fours.

Grabbing guns, observers start aiming at monsters. However, Singh stopped the shooters. Binoculars were used, and Singh was able to convince the companions that these were human cubs. The hunt was canceled. But what's next?

Having hired new assistants, Singh decided to excavate a hole and extract the children from there. At the very first blows of the shovels, the adult wolves jumped out of the hole: the she-wolf was immediately killed by the native from the bow: the puppies were given to assistants as a reward. The children huddled to the very bottom of the hole …

Race on all fours

After long adventures, they managed to be taken to the church orphanage in Midnapor. They were two girls. Apart from Singh, only his wife, who worked there, knew the story of their appearance at the orphanage.

The little ones were very weak. In addition, they did not understand what and how to eat, they did not know how to drink from cups. They loved milk, but they could only suck it, like babies, with the help of a cloth, the end of which was pubescent in liquid. Then they began to lap milk and water with their tongue, like dogs.

The found cubs were washed and cut - they began to look quite normal. Singh estimated the age of the eldest at eight years, while the youngest gave a year and a half. The first was named Kamala, the second Amala. From that time on, the priest began to keep a detailed diary (published in 1942).

At first, the girls slept a lot. But, having recovered a little, they stopped sleeping altogether after midnight. Both men roamed the orphanage's courtyard fearlessly, looking for a loophole to escape. They were not afraid of the dark at all. They ran exceptionally fast and briskly on all fours - like squirrels.

During normal movement, they leaned on their knees and palms pointing outward. What they absolutely could not do was stand straight on two legs. At first, they ate and drank in a dog-wolf position. And even later, they did not take the food served with their hands, but grabbed it with their mouths.

They could smell raw meat in the kitchen for 70 meters or more. Pulling up their noses, they sucked in air just like wolves or dogs. Once Kamala from afar rushed into the kitchen with a brutal expression on her face and, growling dully and grinning her teeth, tried to grab a piece of meat from the table.

By smell, they immediately discovered a dead animal or bird and immediately ate easy prey. Then they started to hurt from the rotten meat. (In the end, these infections became the main cause of their death. The youngest Amala died first in September 1921).
