EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic bond between Kamala and Amala, two young sisters who lived amongst wolves in the forests of Midnapore, India, between 1912 and 1920. The sisters, aged 18 and 13 respectively, are seen lying on the forest floor, their bodies overlapping each other for warmth and protection. The ground beneath them is covered in a thick layer of leaves, and the sisters' clothing is worn and tattered, reflecting their simple and rustic lifestyle. The story of Kamala and Amala is shrouded in mystery and has been the subject of much speculation and debate amongst historians and paranormal enthusiasts. Some believe that the sisters were feral children, having been abandoned or lost in the forest at a young age and raised by wolves. Others argue that they were part of a local tribal community that practiced wolf-like behavior as a rite of passage. Regardless of their origins, the sisters lived with the wolves for nearly a decade, adopting their hunting and survival skills. They slept on the forest floor, ate berries and roots, and hunted small game to sustain themselves. Their unique lifestyle drew the attention of the local community, who were both fascinated and fearful of the sisters' close connection to the wolves. This photograph, taken in December of 1920, captures a moment of respite and intimacy between the sisters, their bodies intertwined and at peace amidst the wild and untamed forest. The image is a haunting reminder of the sisters' extraordinary story and the enduring allure of the unknown and the unexplained.
