Dive into chilling stories and eerie folklore with this terrifying true mystery from Siberia...A true crime / survival mystery in August 1993, seven hikers entered the Hamar-Daban Mountains of Buryatia (near Lake Baikal)—and only one walked back out. What happened on that windswept ridge has been called the “Buryat Dyatlov Pass”: a sudden storm, a frantic descent, and then a cascade of bizarre symptoms—foaming at the mouth, blood, panic, and collapse—leaving six bodies scattered on an exposed ledge while a terrified teen survivor staggered to a river and found help.
Officials ruled hypothermia and closed the case. But the details refused to stay buried: claims of missing eyes later attributed to scavengers, questions about food and exhaustion, and theories ranging from toxic exposure to military testing to the possibility of cold/altitude-related pulmonary edema.
Inside this episode:
- The trek: Lyudmila Korovina leads six young hikers into the Hamar-Daban range
- The turn: August 4–5 — a brutal storm hits at roughly 2,300 meters
- The collapse: eyewitness survivor account of sudden convulsions and rapid deaths
- The recovery: why the scene looked “impossible,” and what time + wildlife can do
- The official file: why authorities said hypothermia—and what they dismissed
- Theories vs. evidence: separating folklore from what the record can actually support
This is a case where
nature, fear, and unanswered questions collide—and the only person who knows the final minutes had to live with them forever. We’re telling that story tonight.
