AdrianHOST
Exactly.
AdrianHOST
We're treating the Dyatlov Pass incident not as a campfire ghost story, but as a strict historical investigation.
ClaraHOST
Because it deserves that respect.
AdrianHOST
It really does.

AdrianHOST
Chesterton understood that properly applied reason separates genuine, awe-inspiring reality from cheap mythology.
ClaraHOST
It absolutely does.
AdrianHOST
We don't need glowing orbs or radioactive mutants to make the Dyatlov Pass incident profound.
AdrianHOST
The raw elements of snow, wind, darkness, and human judgment are formidable enough to produce a tragedy that defies belief.
TaraHOST
And there were some that I guess just from, you know, hearing sinister spots came to mind.
TaraHOST
Like I might think of Chernobyl or Dyatlov Pass or Okigahara or something.
TaraHOST
And those are in there.
TaraHOST
But as you said, also like tourist destinations.
Andrew SchulzHOST
[laughs]
John AllenGUEST
And then, uh, the other one, it was just all I wrote was Dyatlov Pass.
Andrew SchulzHOST
Yes.
AlPANELIST
Yeah.
John AllenGUEST
I knew I was.
Andrew SchulzHOST
Yeah.
John AllenGUEST
And it never really clicked, and then I was at this water park with my family in Pennsylvania, this indoor water park, Great Wolf Lodge, and I was like, "Fuck it, I'm just gonna do a quick 60-second version of the Dyatlov Pass mystery." And, you know, I have no followers.
John AllenGUEST
It's TikTok, you know, TikTok before people even were, were really using TikTok in the US, and I tell this story, and I post it, and I really wasn't like, "Oh, boy, I nailed it.
Dane StewartHOST
home an expedition sets out six weeks later their tents are discovered mysteriously slashed open from the inside they were trying to escape something inside the tent the hikers are all found to have fled outside into the freezing temperatures in some case wearing no clothes at all six are discovered to have died from hypothermia three died from blunt force trauma stronger than a car crash but no instrument was found Theories for their deaths range from secret military experiments to yetis to aliens, but no one knows for sure what happened.
Dane StewartHOST
My first entry for the craziest things to ever happen is the 1959 Dyatlov Pass incident.
Adam CaprioloHOST
Dyatlov? Dyatlov Pass.
Adam CaprioloHOST
Next season on Stranger Things, for sure.
Adam CaprioloHOST
Look, if you

Dane StewartHOST
Like we don't understand this.
Dane StewartHOST
Right.
Dane StewartHOST
Like there is no, I feel like Dyatlov Pass, JonBenet, like those are on this plane because you don't have an answer.
Brad StaggsGUEST
there were cannibals and, uh, a lot of people think that, uh, he got eaten, but
Keith MalinakHOST
you ever heard of the, uh, Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959 in the Soviet Union where you had nine experienced hikers in the Ural Mountains cut their way out of their tent from the inside and fled into sub-zero temperatures without proper clothing.
Keith MalinakHOST
Six died of hypothermia.
Keith MalinakHOST
Three had severe unexplained injuries including a missing tongue and crushed skulls.
Keith MalinakHOST
Yeah, it's coming back to me a little bit here.
Keith MalinakHOST
Where it wasn't as strange as it seems on the
Brad StaggsGUEST
surface, right? They tried to explain it away that way, but there are some aspects of the Dyatlov Pass victims that it's still...
Brad StaggsGUEST
What really happened? Some people thought that they stumbled on something they shouldn't have seen, blah, blah, blah.
Bob BlumenfeldGUEST
And that's how I met Tuanda.
Bob BlumenfeldGUEST
And the first album we released is called Dyatlov Pass.
Bob BlumenfeldGUEST
It's a concept album about... a group of nine Russian 20-somethings who went on a kind of an extreme winter hike.
Bob BlumenfeldGUEST
And they disappeared and were later found, unfortunately, deceased.
Steve StocktonHOST
Let's take a walk and see.
Steve StocktonHOST
First up, let's take a look at the Dyatlov Pass incident.
Steve StocktonHOST
Now, it remains the holy grail of cold case mysteries.
Steve StocktonHOST
It's a puzzle where every piece of evidence seems to contradict the next, creating a narrative that feels more like a horror film than a historical record.

Steve StocktonHOST
But the files were classified for decades, and the mention of radioactive contamination on the clothing was never fully explained.
Steve StocktonHOST
So in conclusion, is it possible that a combination of a small avalanche, extreme wind, and hypothermia killed the Dyatlov group? Well, yes, but the avalanche doesn't explain the radiation, and hypothermia doesn't explain why seasoned trekkers would abandon their only source of survival for a 1.5-kilometer trek into certain death.
Steve StocktonHOST
The Dyatlov Pass incident remains a chilling reminder of the limit state of human survival and a testament to the fact that sometimes the more we investigate, the more the truth recedes into the shadows.
Steve StocktonHOST
Next, let's take a look at the Voynich Manuscript.

He had the skill of transmission, but had not found the story type that needed that skill to travel.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Then he found the Dyatlov Pass incident, nine Russian mountaineers who died under circumstances classified as an unknown compelling force.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Investigators found radiation on some victims' clothing.
speaker_2NARRATOR
One hiker's tongue was missing.

speaker_2NARRATOR
It is a rupture.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The rational explanation for why that specific video broke through, and not the dozens before it, is not entirely satisfying.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The Dyatlov Pass case has been covered many times.
speaker_2NARRATOR
The story is not new.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
In the end, the 1993 Hamar Dabin incident occupies an uneasy realm between fact and folklore, a case where nature's power, human fear, and our desire for answers combine to shroud the truth in in mystery.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
This disaster inevitably drew parallels to the famous Dyatlov Pass incident of 1959.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
Both involved young hikers dying under puzzling circumstances in the mountains.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
The media even dubbed Korovina's case as the Buryat Dyatlov Pass because of these similarities.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
Unexplained injuries, signs of panic, and gruesome details evoking the Dyatlov mystery.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
However, the differences are significant.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
Korovina's case, in contrast, was quickly classified as an accident and never studied to the same depth.
Henrique CoutoNARRATOR
Additionally, each tragedy left only one survivor.
Dr. CreepenHOST
Revolutionary brain treatment was a groundbreaking story in and of itself.
Dr. CreepenHOST
However, add a grisly murder, conspiracy and cover-up, and the government using a psychopathic child rapist as an organ donor, and you've got the biggest story other than naming Jack the Ripper and what happened during the Dyatlov Pass incident combined.
Dr. CreepenHOST
My hands were shaking.
Dr. CreepenHOST
Didn't know what to think.
