The Dyatlov Pass incident, perhaps the strangest unsolved mystery of the last century

OK there are no two ways about it there is some weird stuff that goes down in Russia. You might remember that a month or two ago a meteorite crashed in the Urals well that's nothing compared to this story I just came across. About 54 years ago the northern part of the Urals played host to one of the most fascinating unsolved mysteries in the modern age. The reason it’s remained unsolved is that there are no witnesses but the dead, and they’re not talking. In February 1959, nine hikers disappeared in the Dyatlov Pass through the Ural Mountains. The group never reached their destination, and three weeks after their disappearance, their bodies were found. When you first look at what's become known as the Dyatlov Pass incident it all seems fairly explicable: Of a party of ten skiiers, nine perished in the middle of a high-difficulty hike in conditions that reached -30 degrees Celsius. But the details, which are mostly based on diaries of those involved as well as records from Soviet investigators, are like something out of a horror movie and will keep you up at night.
