Frozen Horror: The Dyatlov Pass Incident

In February 1959, nine hikers fled their tent on a remote Russian mountainside and never returned. Their bodies were discovered scattered across the snow: some frozen, some fatally injured, one missing her tongue. Their tent was cut open from the inside. Some of their clothing carried traces of radiation. To this day, no one knows what terrified them so badly that they ran half-dressed into a blizzard.
