S04E9.Dyatlov Pass: The Mountain That Took Nine

In February 1959, nine experienced hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute set out for Mount Otorten and never returned. Their tent was found torn from the inside, some bodies scattered and badly injured, and many baffling clues — barefoot tracks, missing items, and traces of radiation — that resist a single clear explanation. This episode revisits the Dyatlov Pass incident, summarizing the timeline, the grisly discoveries, the reopened investigations, and the competing theories — from avalanches and infrasound to military tests and the paranormal — while reflecting on the human tragedy and enduring mystery at its center.
