Discover the mysterious story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident, a still unsolved Soviet mystery. Follow the clues and theories surrounding this strange and tragic event in this video.

Nine hikers on a winter trek in the Ural Mountains met a mysterious end in 1959. Here's the spooky story:

They vanished without a trace, then reappeared... mostly dead.

Search parties found their tent abandoned, with shoes, gloves, and warm clothes missing. The hikers were scattered nearby, frozen and strangely undressed. Some had bizarre injuries like broken ribs and a cracked skull. Even stranger, a couple had radioactive material on their clothes!

Theories ran wild: avalanches, aliens, even a rogue yeti!

The official story blamed a "compelling natural force," but that wasn't satisfying. Ideas flew for decades: a super-avalanche, a secret military experiment gone wrong, or maybe a UFO encounter (cue the spooky music!).

Two new theories might explain the chilling mystery:

1. A sneaky avalanche: The hikers might have accidentally triggered a delayed avalanche by digging into a slope. This "slab avalanche" can strike unexpectedly and cause the kind of injuries the hikers had.

2. Surprise wind attack: Powerful downhill winds called "katabatic winds" can suddenly become super strong. Imagine the tent ripping apart in a snowstorm! This could explain why they fled and some suffered injuries from a collapsing snow shelter.

The truth might forever be a snowy mountain mystery.

Without survivors, some questions may linger. But these new theories shed light on what might have happened that fateful night in the Urals.
