Silent twins

Twins Jennifer and June Gibbons were born in 1960 and their main feature was that girls from childhood refused to communicate with people (even with parents). They perfectly understood human speech and even talked among themselves (though this sounded more likely like ordinary babble). When the sisters grew up, they were sent to a madhouse, but soon they were released. A sign of mental illness was not observed. One of the twins, June, spoke only after the death of her sister. She said that so they agreed many years ago: when one of them dies, the second will begin to communicate with other people. The reason for this strange behavior of the sisters still remains an unsolved mystery.

20 Photos From the Days of Prohibition

In the United States, Prohibition began to operate in 1920 and continued right up to 1933. For 13 years, people have tried in every possible way to circumvent the ban on the sale, production and transportation of alcohol, staged demonstrations, protests, and massively engaged in smuggling. In our time, it is still difficult to imagine the effect of this law in full force. However, what the consequences may be and how people lived during the prohibitions on alcohol can be seen in the next photo selection.
