The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to the unsolved deaths of nine ski hikers in the northern Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union. During the night, something caused them to tear their way out of their tents and flee the campsite while inadequately dressed for heavy snowfall and sub-zero temperatures.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident – Part One – In February 1959, a group of hikers died in mysterious circumstances on the slopes of a then unnamed mountain. Now one of the most famous mysteries of the 21st century, are we any closer to understanding what exactly caused the Dyatlov Pass incident?
The Dyatlov Pass Incident – Part Two – In yesterday’s episode, we retraced the route of the nine hikers on their journey towards Otorten Mountain. Weeks later, after their failure to return to Sverdlovsk, search parties were assembled and it didn’t take long for them to find the abandoned camp site. What ensued was truly horrifying…

I’ve read about this story years ago and it’s still as baffling today. If I had to guess, I’d lean more towards a UFO encounter than anything else.

“Murky history” indeed! According to all accounts, these individuals were extremely intelligent. I don’t think ALL of them would have run away from the warmth of their tents & belongings w/o feeling an immense measure of terror &/or threat.
