A. L. Singh, an Indian missionary and rector of The Orphanage in Midnapore India, led a party of hunters into the sal jungle. Their express purpose was to discover what was haunting the Santal village of Godamuri, for the Reverend Mr. Singh, known as a mighty hunter, had been asked by one of the village leaders, a man named Chunarem, to help. The Singh party found two children in a wolf’s den that was carved out of a white ant mound. Along with the children, they discovered a mother wolf and her cubs. They shot the large wolf, sold off the cubs, and the Reverend Mr. Singh brought the two children back with him after they had been almost starved to death by the superstitious and frightened villagers. Amala and Kamala, as they were named, lived very much like animals at first, eating raw meat, swallowing gravel, gnawing bones. They ran on all fours and refused to wear clothing. The most-startling part of the story was that their eyes apparently glowed with blue lights in the dark. A year later, on September 21, 1921, Amala died.
