Summary

Six hikers went into the Siberian mountains. Only one came back. In 1993, a group of young adventurers vanished in the Khamar-Daban range—and what rescuers found looked like a scene from a horror movie: bodies twisted and bloodied, faces frozen in panic, and a mystery that still defies science. Was it a Soviet experiment gone wrong? A toxic fog? Or did they awaken something ancient in the mountains? We’re tracing the echoes of one of the world’s most chilling unsolved mysteries—the Khamar-Daban Incident. Book mentioned: Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer One by One by Freida McFadden Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
