Dutch family of 7 waiting for "the end of time" discovered living in farmhouse basement Dutch police discovered a family of seven living in a farmhouse basement and waiting for the world to end, the BBC reported Tuesday. The family allegedly spent nine years in the basement and were only found after one family member escaped. According to local news outlet RTV, a 58-year-old man was living with six siblings, aged 18 to 25, on a farm in the Drenthe province. The oldest of the siblings escaped from the basement on Sunday evening, asking staff at a pub in nearby Ruinerwold for help. The owner of the bar, Chris Westerbeek, said the man was unkempt and looked confused. Dutch family of 7 waiting for "the end of time" discovered living in farmhouse basement - CBS News
If it was 9 years ago then they must have been waiting in advance for the 2012 Mayan End of Days Doomsday Prophecy...lol... It would have been much cooler if they had been in the basement since 2000 waiting on Y2K
Now That You Mention It......."Asmo" Did Stop Posting At The Exact Time That Guy Escaped...... Cheers Glen.
Going by percentage the US has you guys beat by a mile... Hell Florida has you guys beat by a mile. This is Not including the gun culture, add that in and.... Oh shit! we are so fucking screwed.
A family was kept in a secret farmhouse room for nine years, police say. The oldest son escaped to find help at a bar.
if anything is dumb enough, someone somewhere, will. i think the conspiracy is to convince people that because someone will, none of us are capable of being any wiser. which IS a complete crock. nine years would be most of an oldest son's life, would it not?, so how would he know what a bar is, unless it just happened to be the first inhabited place he came to? hell though, if i could somehow survive nine years without having to deal with retarded alcohaulic fascists, i wouldn't consider that hiding from the end of anything, or even hiding at all, i'd call that living a very happy and satisfying life. of course if i can't figure out how to do that by myself, i totally have no idea how that would be possible with a family. questions of land where they'd be undisturbed, or property taxes if they had title to it arise. wouldn't the government, whatever government wherever they were, have sent someone around to check if they hadn't paid any taxes for nine years? or were there neither property taxes nor building codes, or did, really, no one know there was anyone there? to me that would be totally cool. i mean if they were able to eat regular, and each other's company didn't get too oppressive. ok, different situation. nothing wrong with someone doing that to themselves, but keeping his children or siblings from poking their noses out and having a bit of a look around, i mean 18 to 25 year olds, seriously. yes that does sound cult/oppressive. even if there were only seven of them. basement of a house? ok still what about property taxes and the collection there of?
An update: "Following the raid it was discovered the family can barely talk and speak in a bizarre “fantasy language” after their many years in isolation. Police had great difficulty understanding the “incomprehensible” victims who slept and ate on the floor of the windowless room, according to local reports. Officers admit they are becoming increasingly baffled by the case and are not even sure if the family were held against their will."
