The Gibbons sisters were identical, and isolated throughout their entire lives. They shared a knack for creative writing and wrote stories together. They were hospitalized for 14 years because of criminal behavior.
But the most fascinating part of June and Jennifer's story is quoted below:
(T)he girls had long had an agreement that if one died, the other must begin to speak and live a normal life.
During their stay in the hospital, they began to believe that it was necessary for one twin to die, and after much discussion, Jennifer agreed to be the sacrifice.
In March 1993, the twins were transferred from Broadmore to the more open Caswell Clinic in Bridgend, Wales; on arrival Jennifer could not be roused. She was taken to the hospital where she died soon after of acute myocarditis, a sudden inflammation of the heart. There was no evidence of drugs or poison in her system, and her death remains a mystery.
On a visit a few days later, Wallace recounted that June "was in a strange mood. She said, 'I'm free at last, liberated, and at last Jennifer has given up her life for me.'" Quoting: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
Do identical twins share a deep connection that persists throughout their lives? Are fraternal twins any different?
In the case of June and Jennifer, did one soul inhabit two bodies, with one body eventually giving up its life-force to make the other "whole"?
Was it all just coincidence?
Are you a twin? Do you know any twins?
Do you think identical twins have a different connection than fraternal twins?
What are your thoughts about twins in general? Do they always have a special connection, or does it simply depend on the individuals involved, just like any other connection between people?
