What it's really like to live in America's POOREST and 'most depressed' regions in West Virginia - which are riddled with drug addiction, homelessness, incest and BESTIALITY

A YouTube creator has lifted a lid on what it's really like to live in some of America's poorest and 'most depressed' towns - which are riddled by drug addiction and homelessness.

Tyler Oliveira, 24, from Modesto, California, recently took a trip to West Virginia - the state that's ranked number one in depression rate, two in poverty, and four in drug addiction.

He visited a few of the most impoverished areas and chatted with locals - who opened up about everything from what they do for fun to how they handled the incessant crime and 'dope heads' who wandered the streets at night.

They also spoke about the rampant incest and bestiality in the region, with one resident admitting that he knew someone who had 'smashed his horse' and another professing that he had heard of some 'moms and sons' who had gotten together.

Tyler documented it all and uploaded the video to his YouTube channel earlier this month, where it quickly went viral, raking in nearly two million views in a matter of days.

'I'm going to visit the poorest towns in the dead state of West Virginia, which was once fueled by its booming coal mine industry,' he began.

The 24-year-old started his journey off by heading to a small city called Martinsburg, which has just under 19,000 residents.

One local described the area as a 'craphole' plagued by 'drug problems and homeless people.' 

'I just moved down here and all day long there's homeless people walking in front of the house,' he said. 'It's pretty tough. I can't wait to get out of here.'

Another agreed, 'There is a bunch of drug activity and people struggling. Fentanyl, cocaine, crack....

'It's pretty easy to get drugs out here and I've struggled with that myself personally.' 

When Tyler asked someone if it was true that 'incest was a thing out there,' the man admitted, 'Yeah, I got some cousins who are also my brothers.

'There's people out here smashing their cousins. There's people out here smashing their horses. I don't judge but no animals for me.'

The YouTube star also asked the residents what they did for fun, with one local telling him, 'We're all really bored and really poor, so the only thing to do is work, f**k, and get high.'

After that, Tyler headed to Weston, which he called 'the most miserable town he'd ever been to.'

As he explored the extremely run-down community, he stopped to chat with its residents, many of whom praised former President Donald Trump.

One local, who goes by Twig, said there were only four black people in the town, and that most of the people who lived there could not read or write.

He theorized that about 90 per cent of them were unemployed and living off of disability.

He also explained that the only job opportunities they had were at the gas station, a 'couple' of restaurants, and the town's Dollar General store.

He added that there used to be more stores but after a Walmart opened, most of them shut down due to lack of business.

'We had little places everywhere and then I guess when Walmart started, they couldn't keep up with it,' he shared. 

Twig said meth was a huge problem in the area, and warned that once nighttime hits, you'd usually see people 'walking around like zombies' on the streets and hear 'screaming' out your window.

When Tyler asked some locals what they did for fun, one said they played video games, and another admitted that the only thing to do in the area was 'just walk around.' 

And when he questioned if there was a lot of 'incest out there,' one man told him, 'The town's known for it. I've heard of mothers and sons getting together.'

During Tyler's visit, he came across a mobile methadone clinic set up in a trailer as a bid to help some of the locals.

'We treat mental health and addiction, we are put here in the more rural communities because a lot of people can't get out,' one worker told him, adding that they usually saw 30 to 40 people a day.  

Tyler ended his day by driving to a town called Odd to see The Whittakers, who have been dubbed as America's most inbred family 

Tyler ended his day by driving to a town called Odd to see The Whittakers, who have been dubbed as America's most inbred family.

The family is made up of 15 siblings whose parents were double first cousins - which means they shared both sets of grandparents. Genetic complications have caused a host of behavioral issues.

They have been known to bark at people, communicate through grunts, and often run away when people try to speak to them. 

They were previously propelled into the spotlight after a documentary maker named Mark Laita featured them in some of his content. 

Tyler was given a tour of their home and did his best to chat with the family - many of whom spoke incoherently - before he finished his adventure.
