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 rangeThe turn: August 4–5 — a brutal storm hits at roughly 2,300 metersThe collapse: eyewitness survivor account of sudden convulsions and rapid deathsThe recovery: why the scene looked “impossible,” and what time + wildlife can doThe official file: why authorities said hypothermia—and what they dismissedTheories vs. evidence: separating folklore from what the record can actually supportThis 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.🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week!🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon!👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!Twitter: @WeeklySpookyFacebook: facebook.com/WeeklySpookyEmail: [email protected]🎵 Music by Ray Mattis 👉 Check out Ray’s incredible work here !👨‍💼 Executive Producers: Rob Fields, Bobbletopia.com🎥 Produced by: Daniel Wilder🌐 Explore more terrifying tales at: WeeklySpooky.com
