That Would Be Rad

S4 E24: The Skull Lake Mystery


Listen Later

Welcome back, rad listeners, to another thrilling episode of That Would Be Rad! This week, Tyler and Woody take you on a spine-chilling journey high into the Himalayan mountains to uncover the eerie mystery of Roopkund Lake, also known as Skeleton Lake.

For most of the year, this small, isolated lake remains frozen. But during the summer months, as the ice melts away, hundreds of human skeletons are revealed, scattered around and beneath the ice. Join us as we explore the bizarre and unsettling history of this enigmatic site that has baffled scientists, adventurers, and locals for nearly 80 years.

We dive into the various theories that attempt to explain the presence of these skeletons, from ancient Tibetan invasion forces to catastrophic hailstorms, and even the possibility of ritualistic sacrifices. Along the way, we discuss the findings from modern forensic studies that reveal a mix of South Asian and European genetic ties among the remains, adding even more layers to this perplexing mystery.

Could this be a site of ancient pilgrimage gone wrong? Or perhaps a window area of high strangeness where time and reality blur? We also touch on local myths and legends, UFO sightings, and the fascinating possibility of supernatural involvement.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we unravel the secrets of Skeleton Lake in this eerie and thought-provoking episode. Whether you’re here for the mysteries, the paranormal, or just to hear two best friends dive deep into the unknown, this episode has something for everyone.
