The Dyatlov Pass incident is a mysterious event that occurred in 1959 in the northern Ural Mountains in Russia. A group of nine experienced hikers, led by Igor Dyatlov, embarked on a trek to Otorten Mountain. However, they never returned on schedule, prompting a search.

What rescuers found was puzzling and tragic. The hikers' tent was discovered abandoned and torn from the inside, with belongings left behind. Footprints led down to a nearby forest where two bodies were found, shoeless and dressed only in underwear. The remaining bodies were found weeks later under several meters of snow, exhibiting strange injuries. One had a fractured skull and another had chest fractures, despite no external trauma.

The official investigation concluded that the group died from a "compelling natural force," but failed to explain the specifics. Various theories have been proposed, including avalanches, military involvement, infrasound-induced panic, or even supernatural explanations. The Dyatlov Pass incident remains one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the 20th century, attracting considerable speculation and intrigue.
