Leyends Of La Murada: Not a normal boy

If there is any area of ​​Orihuela from which I can speak properly where strange phenomena have occurred that is the hamlet of La Murada. A town near Orihuela where practically every house and neighbor's son has a dark history to tell you. Looking at a specific area to forge this story I will tell you about several strange events that happened there.

Many years ago a humble large family that lived one of the houses of the hot zone of the Murada lived normally in its habitáculo. Parents of 8 daughters saw the expectations of having a male child as they went overboard. So on a sad day, the mother lifted her voice to the heavens saying:

- "Lord, though I be born as a beast."

And sounding like an omen of what was going to happen, the Lord gave him a boy. A beautiful child who in time his parents began to be surprised to perceive that he did not utter a word. Neither a "mom" nor a "dad". Just grunts and annoying noises with the mouth. The years went by and the baby became a little man but he did not say a word and his behavior was more like a beast than a sane person. So the family had no choice but to keep him almost always tied up so he would not do any mischief. Most of his life was tied to a window where neighbors in the neighborhood could hear their howls.
