A 62-year-old adventure mystery of experienced hikers who never returned from a planned 200-

mile adventure in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the winter of 1959.

Ten members of the Urals Polytechnic Institute in Yekaterinburg – nine students, led by 23-year-old
engineering student Igor Dyatlov and a sports instructor – went on a mountain skiing expedition into
the wilderness, on the 23rd January, 1959 in what is known as the Dyatlov Pass.

After few weeks they went missing investigators started looking for them. According to camera
footage and personal diaries later discovered on the scene by investigators, the team set up camp on
February 1, pitching a huge tent on the snowy slopes of Kholat Saykhl, which name means "Dead
Mountain" in the language of the region’s people.

When a search team arrived at Kholat Saykhl a few weeks later, the expedition tent was found just
barely sticking out of the snow, and it appeared cut open from the inside. The next day, the first of
the bodies was found near a cedar tree. Over the next few months, as the snow thawed, search
teams gradually uncovered more spine-chilling sights: All nine of the team members’ bodies were
scattered around the mountain’s slope, some in a baffling state and also undressed; some of their
skulls and chests had been smashed open; others had eyes missing, and one had lacked a tongue.

Each body was a piece of a dreadful puzzle, but none of the pieces fitted together. At the time, a
criminal investigation blamed their deaths on a "unknown natural force," and the Soviet government
kept the case quiet. The lack of information about this horrific incident, an apparent massacre that
took place in complete secrecy, gave rise to dozens of long-lived conspiracy theories.

In 2019 Russian authorities reexamined the case around the Dyatlov Pass incident
and concluded that an avalanche was primarily responsible for the nine deaths. Key scientific
details were absent from the report, however, including a clear explanation as to how an
avalanche could have taken place with no documented evidence of its incidnece left behind.

I was thinking about an animal attack but it seems so strange that animal could smash skulls and
rip the eyeballs and tongue out. My theory is that some supernatural being or phenomenom
crossed their path and they lost their mind after what they expirienced.
