DYATLOV PASS — They Ran From... Something (Episode 2 of 3)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What could make nine experienced mountaineers cut their way out of a tent and run barefoot into the snow?
In Episode Two of Stuff That Scares Me, Wallace Cole examines the competing explanations behind the DYATLOV PASS incident — avalanche, military testing, infrasound, radiation exposure, and more — and tests each theory against the actual evidence left behind on Dead Mountain.
This episode explores:
- Why the avalanche theory breaks down under the footprint evidence
- The strange injury patterns that forensic examiners said could not have been caused by another human being
- The unexplained radiation found on specific garments
- Why the hikers’ behavior does not fit panic alone
- The Mansee accounts of something living in the mountains
- The possibility that the official explanation failed because investigators ran out of categories
By the end of this episode, the conventional explanations are gone. The one that remains will haunt you.
