[004] Dead Mountain: The Dyatlov Pass Incident

Story

The mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident has haunted Russia for over 50 years. A group of college students left on a skiing trip and nine of them died under mysterious circumstances in the Russian Urals in the winter of 1959. The case was closed soon after the incident although almost nothing had been resolved including the eerie circumstances in which the hikers were found. There were unexplained injuries, evidence of their tent being cut open and fled while they were half-dressed and without shoes, and radiation found on some of their clothing. Bring out the knitting needles and your coziest blanket as we cover the setting of the USSR, the Dyatlov Group's journey, and go over the theories and most likely outcome of this tragic story.
