The Bear Girl of Krupina (German: 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.
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.
