In this week's episode, we'll be talking about the nine hikers that died during a hiking/ski expedition in the Ural Mountains of Russia, the area now known as Dyatlov Pass.  The hikers set up camp on the slopes of Kholat Syakhi, which is a Mansi name translating to "Dead Mountain."  Something caused them to leave their tent in a panic and scatter about in subzero temperatures.  They left most of their supplies in the tent and were not dressed properly to survive the bitter cold.

Six died from what was determined to be hypothermia, while the other three died from violent injuries.   The Russian officials claimed it was weather related, while others believed it was a military cover up or a Menk (Yeti) that attacked and killed them.  Listen to the official autopsy reports and come to your own conclusion.  We believe it was a Yeti.
