Known as the silent twins, the tale of Jennifer and June Gibbons is a unique one.

Born in 1963 to Caribbean immigrants, there were identical twins who were practically inseparable. Shortly after being born in Yemen, the family

moved to Haverford West Wales. Being the only black children at school made the girls a target for bullying forcing them to become

more attached to one another as they steered clear from other children.

Speaking in their B evolved and

evolved and soon it was unintelligible to other people.

After a long time living like this they stopped speaking to everybody else altogether, with the exception of their sister Rose.

Once the girls turned 14, they met with therapists hoping to get them to break their silence.

People also tried separating them, but instead of thriving,

the girls became catatonic. There was no choice but to reunite them, and for years the

two isolated themselves inside their bedrooms.

They wrote in their diaries all the time and created elaborate plays, short stories and soap operas,

often recording them on tapes and giving those to their sister.

and began writing more elaborate short stories.

But these stories were violent and alarming.
