Podcast: The Dyatlov Pass Incident

Share This Post

In February of 1959, a group of nine skilled hikers died in the northern Ural Mountains. To this day, the circumstances surrounding their deaths remain unclear. The area is named Dyatlov Pass in honor of the group’s leader, Igor Dyatlov.

The group set up camp for the night, but what has been called an “unknown compelling force” drove the group out of their tent. They scattered in different directions, hardly clothed for a harsh winter night. The group was found dead days later. Investigators ruled that six of them died from hypothermia. The others were discovered with signs of blunt force trauma. One guy was missing eyes. A woman was missing her tongue. Really unusual stuff – but perhaps nothing more than the fact that the insides of the tent were still perfectly intact. Evidence showed the campers had knifed their way out of one side of the tent…in such a panic that they didn’t even think to clothe themselves in a way befitting of the brutal cold.

So, what the fuck happened at Dyatlov Pass?

Rubber Rooster joined me on the latest episode of Phone It In to talk about the incident and all of the wild theories surrounding it. Was it a natural cause? Something like an avalanche or infrasound? Could it have been the result of some nefarious military testing that no one was supposed to see? Or, could it have been THE YETI!?!?!
