Summary

High in the Indian Himalayas, at 16,500 feet above sea level, lies Roopkund Lake aka Skeleton Lake. When the snow melts, hundreds of human skeletons emerge from the water’s edge, their bones scattered across the icy shoreline. Who were these people, and how did they all die here? Join Nat & Aly as they uncover the bizarre history of Skeleton Lake: Cold War spy operations, radioactive devices lost in the snow, unexplained deaths on the slopes, and the spiritual lore that warns outsiders never to trespass. Is Roopkund a burial site, a battlefield, or something far more supernatural?
