- [Narrator] What's the
weirdest thing your family does? Friday evening family night,
ugly Christmas jumpers or maybe a holiday when you get to meet all the aunts and uncles
you don't even remember? If you think you have it rough, take a look at these families. From cringy to absurd, these families are more
peculiar than you can imagine. Number 10, The Duggars. This family has 19 kids and counting. In 1984, Jim and Michelle got married and decided to postpone having a child until they were financially stable. About four years down
the road, the time came, but unfortunately, the
contraception they used until then affected Michelle, so
she had a miscarriage. As devoted Christians,
that was a tough moment, which made them ask God to bless them with as many children as
He saw fit in His timing. To keep track of them easier, I would say, all their names start with J. They even had their own TV
show 19 Kids and Counting, which was canceled a few years back, when Josh, the eldest son,
admitted to fondling five girls, including his sisters. And if you were wondering, 19 kids still isn't anywhere near
the largest living family. That title goes to The Chana family. Fathered by Ziona Chana,
they all live in a 100 room, four story house in India. He has 30 wives, 94 children
and 33 grandchildren. He admits to marrying 10 women in one year and is the head of a sect
which permits polygamy. But that still isn't
the biggest family ever. The Vassilyev family from
Russia holds the record for the most children
a couple has parented. Miss Vassilyev gave birth
to a total of 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins
and seven sets of triplets. 67 of the 69 children survived infancy, and this record has lasted since 1782, and doesn't look like it's going
to be beaten any time soon! Number nine, The Bunker Brothers. Did you know that the word Siamese refers to someone or
something from Thailand? Seems strange, since the
only times we hear the word is when we're referring to Siamese twins, but you'll understand why this came about once you hear about the Bunker Brothers. Chang and Eng, conjoined twins, were born in a small village in Siam, now Thailand in 1811. Against all odds, they
survived a long life and ended up rich and married. The rich part is not that shocking given that they gained fame in America and toured as circus freaks. But married and with kids? That's a little unbelievable. The twins married two sisters
and shared a large size bed, double king maybe, and
had 21 kids in total. One very big happy family, until the sisters had a fallout and they moved into different houses. Only the wives though, because the twins were on a
twice-a-week moving ritual from one home to another. I'm pretty sure this
doesn't count as adultery. In January 1874, Chang died
after a prolonged illness and two hours and a half
later, Eng died as well. Some say that the panic of
being attached to a dead body is what killed Eng. On autopsy, it was revealed that even if the bodies
could have been separated, none of them would have survived. Number eight, John Joe Gray's family. Fighting justice doesn't always
need violence, only guns. Gun owner John Joe Gray
has held up his family on a ranch in Texas, in the longest stand-off
in history, 15 years. When John Joe learned
that the Anderson County was pressing charges against him for assault of a public servant and taking a police officer's weapon, he and his family retreated
to their farm in Texas and have since lived a simple life, hunting and picking fruits. He even has a niece born on the farm. Even though John Joe Gray
is not a wanted man anymore, he refuses to leave the ranch. He doesn't seem to like
the government so much, seeing as anti-government pamphlets and it references to setting off a bomb on a highway overpass near Dallas were found in his car at
the time of the arrest. And now, he is in debt
for not paying his taxes. It's been a decade since he paid taxes, and now he owes nearly $35,000 to the IRS. The man can't catch a break. Number seven, The Jim Twins. It's easy to spot the
similarities between twins when they're together
and even easier to assume that the likeness comes from the fact they were raised together. The Jim Twins prove a different story. Adopted in different
families, James Jim Lewis and James Jim Springer
reunited after 39 years and discovered they shared
more than identical features: both were named James by
their adoptive parents and had a dog named Toy, both
enjoyed carpentry and math, both married a Linda
and both then divorced. The situation didn't change
with the second wife: two Bettie's, two sons named James Alan, same career choice as a security guard. They even drove a Chevy, and both went for smoking
as their vice of choice. It's a case for the books, even though after reuniting with his twin, Jim Lewis divorced his second wife Betty and married a Susan, with
his brother as best man. No sign of a Susan for
the other twin, just yet. Number six, The Brett family. The Scottish Brett family has no less than 10 boys; no girls. The oldest one is 16 and the
youngest one just one year old. Five loads of laundry in a
day, 60 pairs of trainers and a 5:30 a.m. wake up call. It's all about the numbers in that house. Alexis and David Brett welcomed
a baby every two years, even though they never planned
to have such a big family. With no girl in sight,
aside from the mother, you can expect a man cave house, but Alexis Brett keeps the house running and the spirits high. With her chilled parenting, the mother manages to go to
the gym three times a week and she is also qualified
as a fitness instructor and plans to start
giving classes next year. Bravo, because that must be a lot of work! Now, I hope you're ready for
images that can't be unseen, just like this dad who decided to reveal all for a family photo. And when it comes to family, there's no better activity
when you have them all around than to go through the old photo album. Unless you're this family. Imagine your first girlfriends there and your father proudly presents one of your first photo shoots. Naked family photo shooting. And you're not even the youngest one, so playing the rustled I
was too young to remember doesn't work. But it's all good when
parents are on the same side and harmony is all around, and
some guns, held by the kids. Who are very young, but smiling. And if you thought they
were weird family photos, stick around till the end, to
hear about this horrific one! Number five, The Deaves
father and daughter. John Deaves left his family when his daughter Jenny
was only one year old. They reunited 30 years after and started a family of
their own, as a couple. And yes, they did have kids. Even though Jenny was married and already had two kids of her own, soon after she met her
father, they had two babies. After eight years of relationship, the authorities intervened and the couple was banned from having sex and sentenced to a three-year
good behavior sentence. But they continued to escape
the law for another year, until breaking up in 2009. The judge took in consideration the fact that one of their two babies died because a heart defect, which could have been
a result of the incest. The second baby, named Celeste, appeared to be a healthy little girl and left to be living
with her mother-sister and father-grandfather. All this sounds really strange,
but it's not too uncommon, after all there's even
a term related to it. The term genetic sexual attraction refers to an overwhelming
sexual attraction that may develop between
close blooded relatives who later meet as adults. Another case of genetic sexual
attraction is Monica Mares, who fell in love with her son
after reconnecting with him 18 years after she gave
him up for adoption. Number four, Jack Yufe and Oskar Stohr. Jack Yufe and Oskar Stohr are
two twins separated at birth, with an insane life story. One was raised Jewish and became
a part of the Israeli Navy while the other was raised Catholic and joined the Nazi movement. Growing up in different places, with a contrasting
political point of view, the twins didn't lack similarities: both read books from back to front, sneezed loudly in elevators, wrapped rubber bands around their wrists, flushed toilets before
and after using them and both loved spicy food and butter. Their estranged relationship, which couldn't hide all
their similar traits, made them one of the
most interesting cases in the Minnesota Twin Family Study. Nature gave them similar characteristics, but nurture separated them religiously, politically and linguistically. Even though they had a
chance to find each other, their relationship was never easy and after spending six days together, the twins never saw each other again until they participated in the study. Number three, Mary-Kate
Letourneau and a student. We all had innocent crushes
on certain teachers at school. But Mary-Kate Letourneau
took it way too far when she pleaded guilty to sleeping with her 12 years old student. Guess what? They're still married today
and they have two daughters. Mary-Kate went to prison for seven years under the accusation of child rape, but got married to her
student after she got out. They're happily married to this day, though it looks like they filed
for a separation last year, because, allegedly, her husband wants to get
into the marijuana business. And you know, being married
to a registered sex offender does not look good on your CV. At least the babies came
when he was of legal age, unlike this version of a modern fairytale. Number two, Pearl Carter and
grandson Phil Bailey reunited. When his mother Lynette died, Phil Bailey decided to look for his grandmother, Pearl Carter. Forced by her Catholic upbringing to give her out-of-wedlock
daughter, Lynette, up for adoption, Pearl
had never had the chance to reunite with her daughter, so she was very happy when
her grandson contacted her. Their feelings were
stronger than they imagined, so in no time they became lovers and soon to be parents. Apparently they had paid $20,000 to a surrogate mother to have the child. After my nausea went away, I decided to research a bit more and it's more likely the story or at least some of its
details, was a hoax. Since then, no photos or information about them has surfaced again and the website that
initially posted the story removed it a week after,
with no explanation. However, I'd still like to know where the photos of
them kissing came from, and while the story may
have been fabricated, such a relationship has happened. Back in 1978, a very true story circulated of a 21 year old man who
married his 77 year old step-grandmother! Number one, The tale of the Colts. This Australian family reshapes
the meaning of parentage and literally shocked the entire world. The movie-like story
started in New Zealand when June Colt was born after incest. She went on to have seven
children with her brother Tom and moved to Australia. From then on it went all downhill. The police uncovered unsanitary caravans, tents and sheds where all
38 Colts lived their lives. The kids were aware that their
father became their uncle and they were malnourished,
sexually abused and in a critical state of health. Most of them suffered from diseases strictly related to having
parents with identical genes. Trying not to draw too much
attention to themselves, four generations of the Colt family had moved around the
country from South Australia to Victoria, Western Australia and then back across the continent to NSW. This image by Roger Ballen shows just how much this
can affect development, although it's unclear if these brothers are the direct result of incest or a genetic disorder that is
prevalent in their community. Now back to that unusual family photo straight out of a horror movie. The family itself isn't
necessarily unusual, but their family photos certainly are. They made headlines across
the world when the Zarings, a family from Missouri, decided to hire a
professional photographer to capture their happy family. But despite the pricey
$250 fee the Zarings paid, it appeared the photographer wasn't the professional
they claimed to be. Apparently the photographer contacted them about an issue with the
lighting of the photos, as the shadows were really bad. Rather than re-shoot the pictures, the photographer promised
a little retouching would fix the problem. The family posted their
retouched family pictures onto Facebook after they didn't turn out quite the way they expected and the results had people in hysterics. Needless to say, they
went viral very quickly. Which family did you think
was the most unusual? Does your neighbor father
a little league team or maybe fell in love with
the wrong side of the family? Let me know in the comments down below and thanks for watching! (light music)
