One of the most terrifying and strange stories is the story of a couple who adopted a child named Barbara Skarlova, who is eight years old, but the strange paradox is that this child was in fact a woman in her 30s, and the reason for her strange appearance is a disease she suffers from called "pituitary gland failure" which made her look like a little girl. She suffered from a mental disorder that made her torture two children to death. The horror film Orphan, which was produced in 2009, tells her story.

Details:

The film "Orphan" is based on the true story of a Czech woman named Barbara Skarlova, who was 33 years old and pretended to be a 13-year-old girl. What helped her was her childlike appearance and small size, as she was suffering from a rare disease that made her look like a child.

Her truth was discovered when she was living with a family in Norway, where the family noticed that she did not play with the children and abused their children and other children, then escaped later.

Barbara committed her first crimes in her native Czech Republic, where she lived with her sisters (Clara and Katarina) and Katarina's two children.

Katarina suffered from a serious mental illness, which encouraged Barbara to exploit and manipulate her and urged her to punish her children in harsh ways.

The main plot of the film revolves around a young girl named Esther, who is 9 years old and an orphan living in a care home. A couple agrees to adopt her to live with them and their children in the house, only to reveal later during a suspenseful narrative that Esther the little girl is a murderous adult woman.

Katarina's torture of her children was revealed by chance when a neighbor saw her torturing her children with the help of her sister Clara, so he reported it to the police. When the police arrived, they found a little girl crying bitterly and very scared, and she was not harmed! They found the children covered in their blood.

The police arrested Katarina and her sister Clara, and Katarina was sentenced to 9 years in prison, as she had a mental illness, and Clara was sentenced to 10 years in prison. But what about Barbara?

One of the officers took her to the shelter, believing that she was 12 years old, then she escaped from the shelter and forged her identity card and turned it into a boy's name, and joined high school when she was in her thirties and her case was not revealed.

However, in a drawing class, she drew a picture of tortured children, including Katarina's children. The teacher was scared when she saw the drawing and reported it to the police, and when they took Barbara's fingerprints, they found that they were the same fingerprints of the girl in the incident of the tortured children, and she was arrested and imprisoned for several years. This was in 2007.
