Inside Australia's 'most inbred family' with nearly 40 members
Inside America's most inbred family tree: How West Virginia's Whittakers who bark and grunt instead of talking started with IDENTICAL TWIN brothers whose kids married each other - and didn't know it can cause genetic issues

The now-infamous Whittaker family grew up in a broken-down property in Odd, West Virginia, and have been known to communicate through grunts and barks. DailyMail.com can reveal that a set of twin brothers sparked the family's history of incest, with the children of Henry and John Whittaker getting married and having their first child in 1937. Filmmaker Mark Laita shone a spotlight on the family in a short documentary with some of them struggling with mental and physical abnormalities. One member of the family, Ray, appears to suffer the most and communicates with Laita through noises rather than words and points to show him items on the property.In April last year he revisited the Whittaker family, who he first met in 2004 and filmed in 2020 and spoke about it on the channel. Laita says that the genetic complications of the family have caused a host of behavioral issues, describing it as 'out of control'. The first time he approached them was in the early 2000s when he was initially met by 'protective' neighbours with a shotgun.

Oh my, what an incred story. Sort of tragi-comic, not sure whether to laugh or cry at first.

Police arrested multiple members of the incestuous family
Many of the children suffered from deformities and they lived in squalor
Tim Colt began the incestuous clan in the 1960s, while his daughter Betty had 12 children
