WARNING: THERE IS A LOT OF SCREAMING IN THIS EPISODE.

This week on Hashtag History, we are talking about the Dyatlov Pass incident. This is the true story that occurred in February of 1959 when nine experienced hikers were found dead along what is now known as Dyatlov Pass in the northern Ural Mountains. It was found that their tents had been torn from the inside and were hurriedly escaped. It was horrifically cold at this time and all hikers - not even remotely dressed for the sub-zero temperatures - died of hypothermia. But, in addition to hypothermia, two of the hikers were found to have fractured skulls, two other hikers were found to have severe chest fractures, one hiker was missing both eyeballs, and one of the other hikers was missing her tongue. What happened?! We discuss the most popular theories, give our own take on the incident, and do a lot of screaming in this week's episode.
