The Silent Twins: Separating Fact from Fiction | 310

Kids are creepy. It just comes with the territory. But everyone once in a while there are kids that do stuff that defies logic and even their own well being. Case in point The Silent Twins, Jennifer and June Gibbons who spent their childhoods and most of their adult lives locked in silence, only speaking to one another and shutting the world out. Then came the crimes. Theft. Fighting. Arson. So, institutionalism it was. And their lives got weirder and weirder until one died under very odd circumstances. We talk their lives, one's tragic death, and what it is like being locked in a silent life. That's all this week on Hysteria 51
