Bear-girl of Krupina

The Bear Girl of Krupina ({{langx|de|das Bärenmädchen von Karpfen}}) ({{fl}} 1767), was a feral child allegedly discovered in the mountains of Karpfen in Hungary, now Krupina in Slovakia, in 1767. She was referred to as Puella Karpfensis.

According to Joseph-Aignan Sigaud de Lafond's Dictionnaire des merveilles de la nature, in 1767, people from Frauenmark, now Bátovce, in Hont County stalked a bear to a cave in the mountains, where they discovered a naked girl. She was described as having been about eighteen years old, with brown skin, appeared frightened and had a wild manner. She reportedly lived only on raw meat, as a feral child.P. J.

She was forcibly taken from the cave and brought to Krupina, where she was imprisoned in a lunatic asylum.

Serge Aroles found no traces of her in the Krupina archives.{{cite book |last1=Aroles |first1=Serge |title=L'énigme des enfants-loups |chapter=La fille-ours de Slovaquie (1767 ?) |date=2008 |publisher=Publibook |isbn=9782748385021 |pages=158–160 |language=fr}}
