The Silent Twins: A Journey Into Madness | Random Thursday
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 10. 2018
- In this special Halloween video, we examine June and Jennifer Gibbons, twin girls who became known as the "Silent Twins" due to the fact that they never spoke except to each other, and even then, they did so in their own language nobody else could understand.
As they grew older, they became obsessed with their twinhood, and their obsession consumed them, leading them into violence and crime.
The twins were trapped in their relationship. They couldn't be together and they couldn't function apart. They came to believe that the only way either of them would be happy was for one of them to die.

"They burned down a tractor..."
Oh, that's not so bad.
"...factory."
Nvm.
Waited for the reference. Man, much worse, huh?
You have a spooky comment twin

"Their secret language was actually just English"-- Troll Level: 10,000
Haha. Clever af
They mastered Ebonics

@@jasonnorthcutt4008 Ebonics is North American black slang. They were from the UK born of parents from Barbados.
@@tylergirl1203 Actually they were not born in the UK.
They were born in Aden.
"They were obsessed with their twinship."
They were bullied. They probably felt nobody understood them but each other.
💡
“Obsessed with their twinship ” literally just eating
It definitely went beyond just that
One thing bothers me, how did jennifer know she was gonna die? How did she will herself to death?
Jennifer's headstone has a creepy poem inscribed, "“We once were two/We two made one/We no more two/Through life be one/Rest in peace.”
It's almost as if they were one soul split in two bodies.
that's like masa's sister story damn
I got goosebumps it’s probably true tbh
@@notlogancrowley9334 lol no
Hey it could've been that case. God has major decisions to make
Maybe she learned how to control her heart beat, just like healthy people can control their breath. Or it was already so faint, that she knew there wasn't much time left. Sounds like she wouldn't have sought medical attention for it.
My twin is an asshole.
But I only see him in mirrors so it's a limited interaction.

"Burned down a tractor..." just the one? That doesn't sound _that_... "...factory" oh, right, uh yeah.
I was gonna make this exact same comment but low and behold, someone already did it. :)
I was thinking burn down a almost completely metal machine?? OHHHH factory. If he stopped at tractor he would have just sounded dumb, those machines are BEAST!!! It would have needed a new paint job(slightly) and some repairs. The easiest thing to burn for the new tractors is the interiors which would be a pain in the ass to replace and get new electronics, it matters on the machine some still keep it low tech.
Maybe read the comments before starting to repeat what others already wrote…
OMG I just looked up some of the really new tractors even though this is an somewhat old story. Some of the new tractors even have tracks instead of wheels, that is new to me.
Ellen Degeneres used the same delivery style in her stand-up routines way back when she was still funny. :D
Black, twins, female, unique dialect-bullied was probably an understatement. And on top of that they were probably treated like oddities and were put in really stressful situations. No wonder they withdrew into themselves. I think that this is less creepy and more of another sad example of how we treat people who are different.
Thankyou
Why mention black it’s completely irrelevant
To this
@@danielkirkland3366 actually, it's not irrelevant. they grew up in a predominantly white area and were picked on because of their skin color. Let's not pretend that being black doesn't put you at a disadvantage.
@@andreen596 it would be the same for two white girls in Africa so what is your point. You also make the point of being females what does that have to do with it ?

Quick sidenote: schizophrenia has nothing to do with having multiple personalities. It's actually a disorder where you suffer a lot from psychosis, delusions and hallucinations. You're often heavily medicated to prevent an attack, and there's no permanent fix for it.
It happens cause of high levels of dopamine.
Clinic for Multiple Personality Disorders...... no it's not..... yes it is..... no it's not..... are you two arguing again..... hey, you stay out of this..... yeah.....
Vatsal 03 that’s a popular theory at the moment but pinning down the exact cause will always be something of a crapshoot
I think I read somewhere that cognitive therapy can help people with mild cases to better cope and live, reducing risk of attacks and dissociation. Still sad though.

I find it interesting that this video and this post were made today.
Such a tragic story.
Nothing creepy here like the first few minutes of the video suggest, it's just a sad and tragic story. I hope the remaining girl has a quiet and content life now.
The unknown of young ladies. What happened and what could happen, the progression, and what could progress.
It's how he tells the story. I first heard about them from a podcast called Snap Judgement, and their story was creepy AF! Particularly the part where the twins decided which of them had to die.
I hope she fullfilles her part of the pact
The girl calling her death is creepy
My thoughts exactly, coding their story as creepy rather than truly sad is an odd choice that I wouldn't have made, but hey
"Neither can live while the other survives."
I thought the same thing. Tell one the other was dead. But I have to wonder if they would have still known somehow.
Also, nice reference to MacBeth and Demona. ;-)
Some kind of creepy harry potter shit there
@@vinny9868 Oh... and here I was thinking it was a Gargoyles reference! D'oh!
@afootineachworld honestly, I didn't either. I think they were talking more being able to live their life and not in a literal sense. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
This is more of a tragic story than a creepy one. The girls were started being bullied at a very young age and did not receive proper psychiatric help until many years later. It would have been easily for anyone to develop mental conditions under those circumstances, be it twins or not. You shouldn't mock them as being creepy.
I don't think he meant to mock them. But if something creeps you out then it's "creepy," right or wrong.
Lizzy Chrome Spot on!! And the guy is right. Twins can be creepy. But we’re living in an age where not even truth is accepted if that truth is disagreeable.
@@Irunwithscissors63 Sad but true.
Well the story did creep me out a bit.
Of course this is tragic, but it’s also very creepy
I can always count on you to creep me out. Never stop being you.

Hi
how does this have only 40 likes? this is Jesus
Why are you everywhere
Told ya Jesus was real
It probably started out as them not being able to talk to anyone but eachother then getting sick of eachother but because of the speech imepediment and bullying they werent really able to talk to anyone for a while and by the time they were, it had already been too late and they were too dependent on eachother to leave one another even if one didnt like the other
And now I reincarnated into another life.
And life is still shit.
I'm just not in a mental hospital this time.
Creepy, but actually a valuable story on how lucky most of us are to not have drastic mental heath problems. Thanks for sharing!
Couldn't have said it better.

And how as a whole society needs to be more accepting and less cruel to those who do suffer with a mental illness. Just saying...
@@ella17734 Indeed :)
@@_paralyzed_7346 idk your conscious of it that's a start. I'd imagine getting better might involve behavioral therapy or some help in that form. Best of luck to you in your life hope it all works out and you can be happy.
I love the "Drastic" part. like we all do have some, just not drastic one's...lol
They were treated like monsters due to how racist the medical system used to be, many twins do not need to talk to each other simply because they know one another very well, if you've ever communicated with your best friend or family member with a single glance, it's the same thing. These girls were locked away because they were simply misunderstood and mischaracterized, partly because they had mental illness, and partly because they were black. Their story is scary not because of what two minds became, but because of the system that abused them since they were children.
The way you called it what it is. If those girls weren’t black they wouldn’t have been alienated or developed any mental disabilities. Period. Negligence and poor treatment seems like the culprit
@@epifan3_ it can and I'm pretty sure is both racism and the fact that mental illness treatment is bad now and it was terrible in the 70s so yes while I agree the medical establishment is racist It's not like they would have got good treatment being white just better treatment
The human mind is a very strange place. Thanks for the story.
Their wiki says that the surviving sister lives without psychiatric help and independently in her home; I can therefore guarantee she is not schizophrenic, as their condition is not curable and does not vanish. They would require their medications for life. Having very little knowledge of their case other your video and the short wiki article, it sounds more like Shared Pyschosis subtype folie imposée; whereby, two people have a close bond and one suffers from psychosis. Due to the close bond and such, the second person begins to share in their delusions...after some time of separation, the one individual would be expected to return to normal. It's more of an...educated stab in the dark...but the surviving twin was definitely not schizophrenic.
UTMB Underground I mean, couldn’t she be? You can live independently with schizophrenia. I imagine if she never got diagnosed and finally she did and got proper medication she’d just continue on with life, taking her medication from home. You can have schizophrenia and not live in a mental hospital. Schizophrenics make up 1% of the population and majority of them live pretty normal lives.
Audrey Neal , while she might not require constant inpatient psychiatric treatment, should she have schizophrenia- she would require medications. Furthermore, schizophrenics have a high rate of relapse due to poor compliance (due to their condition) so she would inevitably end up in the hospital for short durations of time somewhat frequently. Long story short, schizophrenics, depending on subtype, are typically unable to live without a caregiver and are definitely not able to sustain an independent lifestyle without medications.
UTMB Underground as i said, in home medications! That’s the easiest part of having schizophrenia in the modern day. You can administer them to yourself. And the thing is, they weren’t admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia, they just found it later on while monitoring them and then were released once deemed safe for society. Furthermore, If given proper medications you can live Independently. You have an archaic view of schizophrenia, now adays you can take regular perception medications for it, pills you’d pick up at CVS or Walgreens and take home. If your schizophrenia is manageable and you have a supportive friend or two you can (and most do) live completely independent lives.
I really don’t think you fully understand the spectrum of schizophrenia my friend because you’re listing what life is like for those who have the most severe form of it. Many don’t have to stay in a mental hospital and when they “relapse” (Which is absolutely not the right term for it) it would only be for a short period of time. Schizophrenia isn’t a constant state of psychosis but a series of diffrent symptoms that run on a cycle, therefor, if her symptoms were managed enough, a mental facility might not even be necessary.
I’m not saying she for sure had schizophrenia but it’s completely possible.
Audrey Neal I am a physician. I fully understand schizophrenia. Their wiki page (I believe it was- the comment is a month old so I have forgotten) states she lives independently without medications. Ergo, no schizophrenia.

Could be a mild case.
That little tiny pause was funny af. "They burnt down a tractor... factory". What a sad story. It was really interesting until you got to the part where they started to hate each other, when it quickly became sad.

Here's the real story.
4:36
"...moved on to arson. They burned down a tractor..." -"Oh ok." -"...factory.". -"Oh".
Mhm. 🤓
Tractors are expensive, man.
It is actually not very uncommon that twins develop thier own language before learning their native tongue. Especially when one or even both of them has/have autistic tendencies which might have been the case with those two girls. I am working with young adults with autism and I can see several similarities in their behaviour.
That's actually fascinating. I'm the autistic twin, yet I simply don't remember having such a relationship with my brother. Even my parents never mentioned it. If anything, people tend to be surprised we're twins. The only weird moment was in our first year of kindergarten, when we were always fighting when we were together, and crying when we were separated. But we were like, 3/4yo so it's not really shocking.
But honestly, I'm glad there was no crazy shit like what's talked about in the video haha
They didnt create their own language. They just talked fast and said words in a way that they both picked up.
It's like how the old guy in Hot Fuzz talks. Hes speaking English, but hes talking rapidly and with a very strong accent.
The twins heard and spoke in a way that was familiar to themselves, but not to anyone else despite still being English. If it was two tourists from China or Germany, youd expect them to get words or phrases pronounced incorrectly. These girls are native speakers of English, with a regional accent. It just so happens that the region is their house.
I’m an identical twin. It is actually very rare for twins to have their own language. This misconception comes from the fact that you have two siblings developing at the same rate and so close they can often read each others body langauge as they babble and learn to talk.
notbill08 I second this. Me and my brother don't have our own language but we understand each other and often time have extremely similar thought process. Like sometimes, someone would say something and we both just reply with the same joke/comment/reference word for word in unison. It might be the same with normal siblings who are very close to each other but I think it's because we experience the same thing, learn the same thing, and at the same time.
First thing it ought was maybe they had autism.
“Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.”
Deem. That went too deep.
Okay pretty little liars
@@alyshamurry1855 was implying on the song Secret by The Pierces but i guess PLL works too???
@@diamorphined its because i think that song was in PLL or something. I don't watch that show but I think I heard that from somewhere before.
@@TheSpaceyCat it was the theme song
"Keep check of your obsessions. Don't let them get the most of you." Good advice. Very good advice.
All of this makes me think they were being abused, maybe even really badly. Me and my sister came from an abusive home, I grew up selectively mute, which is a real thing. It usually stems from severe anxiety or being constantly told to not speak or that what you’re saying is wrong. My sister and I used a lot of imaginative worlds to cope and luckily got out before we hit our worst mental breaking points, but it just makes me wonder if they didn’t and the last parts of the story are the consequences.
I worked in Broadmoor hospital in the early 80s, and met the twins, such a sad case.
Writing novels is a bad sign . . .
"all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
-'The Shining' movie
@@jenniferhart559 That particular "novel" was a very bad sign INDEED!!
Lol burn the books
I kinda want to read them. Wonder what they were about.
As a writer, I agree
Cryptophasia is usually a simplified dialect of whatever language a pair of twins have been exposed to most, and usually emerges as a consequence of one or both being mentally disabled. One isn't picking up on the language as quickly as the other and they develop their own dialect adapting to each other's speech patterns so they can understand each other even if no one else can.
thank you for the explanation, i personally, have never heard about it before. glad to learn new stuff every day ;-)
I may be mistaken, but weren't the twins welsh? I only mention because the impact of them being black within the community would have likely been more controversial, adding more weight to the hardships of their childhood.
Yeah they were welsh. Americans just like using the word england to describe the whole of the UK
And London means any UK city....
@Prowler Cam Great Britain (can just be called Britain) consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain plus Northern Ireland. All you have to remember is that you never, never ever, call a Scottish or Welsh person English (if you want to live).
They were Bajans but raised in Wales

Christopher MacLennan powerful statement
There is a process we go through where we realize our body ends and the world begins and we and our parents (primary care giver) are different people. I suspect these two failed to complete the separation process on some level. Intellectually they new they were separate people yet felt they could not exist without the other. Hard to conceive.
It was most likely caused by their language barrier early in life, not the inability to separate as children from the same womb
Joe, you probably should get rid of the evidence in your background from that neighborhood kid whose brain you have back there. Just saying.
Actually he said he left the kid's brain in his skull, and I for one totally believe him.
@@jontmusiteur55 you know he said that just to relive the heat from the police investigation. I still think it's the real brain.
@@commentguy4711 That's quite a compelling argument and not one that's easy to refute, I'll grant you that, but remember that without a full DNA analysis it's still only theory and conjecture and therefore probably wrong.

'some kind of primitive African clock language' - someone speaking English
Simnikiwe Hlatshaneni
Probably some biased/prejudgment going on since they were black, but Idk.
I think he means primitive as in “undeveloped”. The language they made obviously could not be a full language.
@@goddammitalana oof
very true
Because that *wasn’t* what they sounded like. They had a speech impediment, so they were hard to understand. The racial bias comes in because instead to trying to understand and hear what they were trying to say, teachers blew them off and just *assumed* they were speaking some African “clicking” language...even though they weren’t Afrian. Facts like these are only race baiting if your racist. Check yourself.
Benjamin Hill 🙄 “click” languages are more complex than “primitive” ones like English...
I feel like because of their differences in development and tired of having to repeat themselves due to their speak impediment they decided to be silent but after awhile they wanted their independence but old habits die slow. They depended on each other so much that it was draining to exist together so they decided that they will only be free if one was dead. And Jenny knew this so she started to stop eating and eventually got worst with an underlining heart condition. Such a sad story of being misunderstood and codependency
4:37
"They burned down a tractor... *FACTORY* "

This is so interesting. I am autistic, so I think I can survive in absolute isolation without getting mad, but this is so much the opposite!
I think they were also on the spectrum; they have so many different traits that point to autism and ADHD. (I'm ADHD, so I can see similar traits).
@@debbiandrews1981 I totally agree. Many members of my family are on the spectrum and/or have ADHD and there are a lot of similarities between them and how these girls behaved. The silence, lack of eye contact, the obsessive tendencies and periodic outbursts of frustrated violence all sound very familiar.
You sure put some interesting information/stories together for us. Thank you.
You’re killing it with the uploads dude.
I want to thank you for the way you did this story. Yes its tragic but some seems to forget June is still alive, listening to the way some people have done videos about her and her sister must be really hurtful. I feel you showed understanding.
I believe that their parents had abandoned their daughters. They were not mentally ill. These girls were smart, creative, and intelligent. Imagine being forced to be the only Black children in a White neighborhood and school dealing with name-calling, staring, fighting, bullying, and having no one to care and stop their pain. They were thrown into a lions den, so they fought the way they knew how.
Love'ya, Joe! Your show makes me happy before i have to go to work.
Thanks, Joe-
I'm a new subscriber, and always enjoy hearing your take on things!
I saw this on the ID channel last week. They were in school in some part of Wales and was described as being two Black kids in a sea of White faces. They would do things in unison and the younger twin was thought to be a bit more outgoing than the older twin June. June will keep the younger twin in check and keep her from speaking to anyone by looking at her a certain way. They became obsessed with Americans and our culture as they got older and started to date these American guys who were visiting. They burnt some shit down Out of rebellion because the guys they were dating we’re leaving for the States. They were placed in a mental hospital that was horrible and they were kept drugged often. After they were released at aged 28 I think the older twin died of natural causes in the van as they were leaving the mental hospital. No drugs was found in her system or anything. It was described that she died of a broken heart. The younger twin still lives there in Wales and visits her twin every day. They’re story was so sad.
Honeslty, I suspected one of the twins was the "shot caller" in everything and kept the other twin from socializing with anyone else. It started at a young age, continued into adult age but they couldn't escape what they had created because they became so accustomed to it.
*My twin sister had such a severe speech impediment as a child, I was often pulled out of my classroom to "translate" for my her...*
*I used to get so annoyed because i had no idea why they needed me to tell them what I perceived as plain English!* 🤷🏻♀️
*My twin and I now live on opposite sides of the states and we haven't seen each other in 4 or 5 years - but we don't hate each other. Her hubby just has his job over there so it is what it is...*
*Cheers*
Great story Joe. Thanks 4 the video!
When I was in college my theatre class did a play based on their story. Fascinating to see this 30 years later.
Wow! I've never heard of these twins before and I very much enjoyed learning about them! Thank you for the wonderfuly interesting vid! :D
Hi Joe, This a very tragic story.
Eastgate School you mention is in Pembroke, Wales. It is really close to the school I went to in the eighties.
You could see the kids from Eastgate in their schoolyard from the classroom of my school. I used to wonder why the kids in Eastgate got longer break times
than us. It was only later that I found out that it was for kids with behavioural issues that had been excluded from other schools in the area.
Wow thank you for this information 😁
I remember this story .you've explained it better than I remember.
Hey Joe, thanks so much for talking about mental illnesses. We need more of this kind of awareness. I know this is a creepy Halloween story, but you did right by those of us with a mental illness. Keep it up, love the channel.
What you had was two little girls who were neglected highly by their family and needed help but all the adults around them were idiots. Even professionals around them would say bullshit like 'they're one soul sharing two bodies' rather than recognizing that they were ill and had serious issues that needed to be addressed. Selective mutism is a thing. I had it as a small child, but not to their degree. If I'd had a twin to hide with/behind I might have been much worse too.
Common misconception, but the girls in The Shining aren't twins, just sisters dressed the same.
So Joe I'm from Vermont and I'd like to thank you for doing such a great job on your Channel. I look forward to your videos and i can't wait to see them. you make science very entertaining and I can really appreciate that, so here's to you Joe just giving you a shout out
Really love your channel! Glad it popped up in my feed.
i always found their story to be so heartbreaking. i will agree with you on it being sort of creepy, but only at the beginning. if i was in elementary school with two identical twins that never spoke to anyone and only talked to each other in their own language, id be a little creeped out
To be fair, it's an extreme case of the kind of dynamic that most if not all identical tweens experience (including me and my brother). So as alien as it seems to most people, for me it's uncannily easy to relate
Wow, Joe. Your channel has really grown! Im glad to see you've had success in your ventures. I hope you find it rewarding, whether financially or happiness or both. For some reason CZcams never notifies me when you make new videos. Im subscribed to several channels, and am only notified for very few channels. It's weird. Every now and then i search your videos though. You're definitely one of my favorites! Keep up the great work, sir!
That doesn’t surprise me. CZcams has been weird in a lot of ways. I can see it reflected in my views. If you hit the notification bell it’s supposed to fix that.
Thanks for the kind words though, I’m having a lot of fun with it. 🙂
A really interesting topic, presented well. Many thanks.
Random Thursday Video on Wednesday? You actually had me second guessing myself on what day it actually is. Is it sad that I kind of base my weeks off your videos?
Cool video! I really like the metaphysical aspect of some of the stuff your putting out lately. I like how your channel is expanding in this area a little bit. I hope to see more! Just dont lean into it too hard ;) some people destroy their channel that way. My advice, keep doing what youre doing and keep exploring some metaphysical or spiritual content through a scientific perspective. I think people like that kind of stuff. I know i do
So incredibly interesting. Thank you for showing this story with such empathy for the sisters still.
What empathy?? He was ignorant and called us creepy. Also didn't even put out the right information.
I reincarnated.
Very well done. Didn't even know about the movie. Definitely going to find it now.
(6:00) - Please note, Joe, that Caswell Clinic is not a prison. It is a mental health facility run by the NHS (National Health Service).
Yes it is minimum security in comparison to the maximum security Broadmoor Hospital (also not a prison), from where they were transferred.
Caswell Clinic is situated in Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan, South Wales, UK.
I watch the documentary on this year's ago and now I'm going to watch the movie. I'm a fan of true stories and never give up on people with mental illness it's real and it's not their fault. God bless your children.
Loving this channel
Interesting. I was just wondering yesterday, how cool it would be if I had a twin. It doesn't always go well, does it?
I highly recommend the book Pepsi Cola Addict by June. Unfortunately, a lot of their earlier writing, especially stuff Jennifer independently published, is not able to be found-publicly at least. I’ve looked for years.
This ended on a good note(except the dying part) but this story still creeped the hell out of me
Found your channel like 30 min/ 3 vids ago. Awesome work!
I love this video! I would be soo interested to see more videos involving the darker/weird side of psychology.
czcams.com/video/98WtP1qC61s/video.html
That's the actual truth!
This was great!
Do you plan on doing more along this line?
My diagnosis: These two were heavily abused with racism and possibly lack of needed attention at home. When They looked at each other they saw each other’s failures constantly like A reflection in the mirror and not feeling able to make better their.situation. Without proper moral and spiritual guidance this turned into what they became. Sad story. Good review! Thanks.
Good observation
Great episode!!!
Crazy story.. loved it.... random Thursday 👍👍
So many of these videos never mention Jimmy Saville. He's a huge part of their story and the reason they were like that.
How so?
I'd love to read their novels actually!
So intrigued by this story. I ve seen a few longer pieces done on these twins....such a tragedy how they were bullied and sought refugee in each other.
Joe, it's a small point, but at 3:23 you mention the more time they spent together the more they grew to hate each other. As a twin myself, that doesn't feel accurate. I think rather they got to an age where they began competing more....for affection, for boys, for independence...it created a lot of conflicts and emotions.
Regardless, great job. Its one of the few stories that really tugs on my heart.
Love your work mate.
Thanks!
Great video
There’s a book about these twins that outlines their early life and their incarceration....and their careers as writers. I remember it being very interesting
Awesome video JOE!!!!!!!
Great Video!
I love how this guy thanks you for watching when he is the person who collected all the facts and knowledge and told us the facts and yet he is thanking us , we should thank him.
The biggest thing is that the doctors today still treat mental ill people the same it makes me so angry.
