The Alien. Germany

A hundred years after the story of Wild Peter, another mysterious child was caught in Nuremberg. On May 26, 1828, the police detained a strange young man in rags, who spoke with difficulty and scribbled his name on a piece of paper - Kaspar Hauser.


Kaspar Hauser spent many years in a dark room, completely isolated from the outside world. He could see in the dark like a cat and had incredible abilities, but he did not know such simple things as milk, fire and the distance to the object. He was sure that his father was a soldier and wanted to become one.


There were suggestions that Kaspar Hauser was the heir to the reigning house of Baden, and he was disposed of in favor of another heir. The famous lawyer Anselm von Feuerbach took up his case, but Kaspar died from a wound on his forehead, which, according to him, was inflicted on him by a masked man. The authorities conducted a thorough investigation, but were unable to establish the place where Kaspar Hauser came from.
