Inside America's most inbred family: Members of West Virginia's Whittakers family would BARK at people and only communicate through grunts while living in squalor overrun with animals
- The Whittakers are known as America's most inbred family - brought to light by filmmaker Mark Laita in his 12-minute short film, 'Inbred Family-The Whittakers'
- The three siblings' parents were first cousins, twice, because they share both sets of grandparents
- Laita spent time with the family in 2021 in their village of 800 people named Odd, 75 miles south of Charleston
