The Dyatolov Incident: Was it Yeti? (with Lyle Blackburn)
Manage episode 317745066 series 2998794
In this episode Supernatural Circumstances we take a look at the possible involvement of the Yeti in one of the most enduring mysteries of modern times, the Incident at Dyatalov Pass and whether Yeti might have been involved. Mike covered this story in Chapter 13 of the Perpetual Puzzles section of his bestselling book, Murder, Madness and Mayhem, available at fine booksellers now.
The story began in 1959, in the Northern Ural Mountains on Kholat Syakhl, which translated from the local Mansi dialect means "Dead Mountain". A group of nine experienced hikers, two women and eight men, on a skiing expedition from the Ural Polytechnic Institute in Yekaterinburg, Russia, died on the mountain that February under mysterious circumstances. The site was later named Dyatlov Pass in memory of the group’s leader, 23-year-old Igor Alekseyevich Dyatlov. There are many theories about what happened - some say avalanche, some say something more sinister occurred. No one is left to tell us the truth.
Later in the show we’ll chat with Lyle Blackburn, cryptozoologist, podcaster and musician.
