9 Soviet hikers died in the Ural Mountains between Feb. 1st and Feb. 2nd of 1959 under strange and unexplained circumstances with theories ranging from avalanche, to UFO's to military testing by the Russian government to attack by a Russian Yeti. The case has yet to be solved.
On this episode in this multi-part series, I sit down with the number one Dyatlov Pass researcher in the world, Teodora Hadjiyska a.k.a Teddy Hadjiyska, author of 1079 and founder of the Dyatlovpass.com website. The Dyatlov Pass website is the most comprehensive translation of the Dyatlov case into English and is an encyclopedia of information. Teddy was featured on the Discovery Channel and has completed two expeditions to the Dyatlov Pass, making a startling discovery that lends to a new theory that will change everything you thought you knew about this mysterious case.
Spoiler alert: Not an avalanche
Due to the complexity of this case and the amount of information that we must cover to do it justice, the podcast will be released as a series over the next few weeks, as new information is emerging. Teddy is waiting on an expert to release the findings of one of the tests she recently submitted to support her current theory. This will be released at a later date.
