Ep. 17 - The Dyatlov Pass Incident - Part II: Theories from the Cold
Nine hikers fled into the frozen night… but the truth didn’t flee with them.
In Part II of The Dyatlov Pass Incident, we peel back the ice to examine every unsettling theory buried beneath the snow:
avalanches, secret Soviet weaponry, radiation, extraterrestrial sightings, KGB involvement, paradoxical hypothermia, creature encounters, and the whispers that still haunt the Ural Mountains today.
What chased them into the dark?
What silenced them before they reached safety?
And why has this case remained one of the most chilling mysteries of the last 65 years?
Join Bria, Zach, and Lyndsay as we dive into the theories the mountain refused to let go.
🔮 Eerie. Cinematic. Unforgettable.
Welcome back to Veil of Echoes.
