In early 1959, a group of hikers set out on an expedition across the mountainous region

of Western Soviet Union.

A body has been discovered by tourists in Russia's Ural Mountains at the famous

Diatlof Pass, an area with a murky history of unsolved deaths.

The pass was the setting for a real-life Soviet mystery.

The bodies of nine hikers were found almost 60 years ago, the cause of their deaths still

unknown.

The group consisted of nine very well-experienced hikers and survivalists.

They were prepared for the elements.

This adventure would prove to be their last.

Despite a criminal investigation, photos left behind and journal entries, the case remains

unsolved over a half a century later.

Several very peculiar bizarre things surround this event, one of which is that when the tent

was recovered, they found that a hole had been slashed in the side of it.

All of the team's belongings were left inside pretty much undisturbed, but the team were

nowhere to be seen.

Then when the bodies were recovered, they were found to be wearing hardly any clothes.

They were wearing some sleeping clothes and no shoes, so they must have dashed out of

the tent, not even trying to open the door.

They slashed, the side opened in the tent and ran out into the middle of the night.

Several of them had blunt trauma, concussions, broken bones, this kind of stuff, suggesting

that they'd been attacked.
