this was an interesting documentary.Either that or stuff like Wendigos, Bigfoot / Yeti's etc...
Have I ever encountered one? Not to my knowledge.
But I do also know that almost all ancient civilizations who recorded stories - all have similar stories. Of similar types of entities.
If it was just in Europe or South America or Asia, I could dismiss it as non-sense.
But for all of them to have similar stories - in time periods where there was no true global news and very little interaction across continents let alone outside of your own village / immediate area -
IDK. That's what makes me think there are things out there. Proof? No hard proof no.
But it just seems to be an awful lot of smoke for no fire.
Ah, yes. Dyatlov Pass incident. One of the mysteries of the world that has never really had a great explanation as to what happened.this was an interesting documentary.

A couple years ago Russian authorities and other worldwide experts agreed on a likely explanation. But as you said, we'll never know for sure.Ah, yes. Dyatlov Pass incident. One of the mysteries of the world that has never really had a great explanation as to what happened.
Startled by an avalanche?
Military experiment?
Aliens?
Something else?
We'll probably never know for sure.
I guess i figured believing in the supernatural, ghosts, and big foot was nonsense. I could be mistaken.I've never robbed someone but I rarely leave their wallet in the car when I do...
and regardless of what did or didn't happen - doesn't make anything else nonsense . Just because something does not expliciity pertain to one situation does not make the entire conversation pointless
In the context of one suicide so far for one of the subjects in this thread, it should be relegated to the appropriate thread imo.I guess i figured believing in the supernatural, ghosts, and big foot was nonsense. I could be mistaken.
excellent read. thanks for posting. Yeah, it seems the avalanche is the most logical explanation. But what about what they found in their diaries? Isn't there pages in there where they document they were being stalked and hunted? And wasn't there a page in one of them that read, The Snow Man lives?A couple years ago Russian authorities and other worldwide experts agreed on a likely explanation.

Has an Old Soviet Mystery at Last Been Solved?
The strange fate of a group of skiers in the Ural Mountains has generated endless speculation.www.newyorker.com
The issue with the avalanche is some of the injuries don't seem to make sense with avalanche. It could be but it just seems strange... I mean, these were not inexperienced hikers essentially. And the fleeing of tent, is one of the harder things to explain in the manner that they did.excellent read. thanks for posting. Yeah, it seems the avalanche is the most logical explanation.

#1 Suicide
#2 Robbery gone bad
The rest is nonsense.
That’s why it went badI've never robbed someone but I rarely leave their wallet in the car when I do...
who is 'they'? One was already found.If it was suicide, they would have likely been found. Plus why would they both leave their wallets?
Yea but in this case the supernatural nonsense could probably be moved to its own thread as it’s pointless to this conversation.I've never robbed someone but I rarely leave their wallet in the car when I do...
and regardless of what did or didn't happen - doesn't make anything else nonsense . Just because something does not expliciity pertain to one situation does not make the entire conversation pointless
Didn't read the last few pages.who is 'they'? One was already found.
Same hereSame thing happened to me at Denny Arthur's
