Now you are "Digging" in "My Back Yard"!
Although not every "Monster" stays in America there is one in "Russia" that is very "Notorious".
That Monster is the "Yeti"!
This is one of the 10 Mysteries of the World and is called " The Mystery of the Dyatlov Hikers
Dyatlov Pass incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have thought of the unfortunate and unexplained deaths of these students for some time and as Spock said in Star Trek – quoted from Sherlock Holmes “… when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth…”
I originally thought that it may have been the Russian Army with concussion bombs that were dropped on them by accident.
The Army had used this location for secret tests.
Some mention that the Army secretly arrived at the crime scene 1 week before the rescuers found the bodies.
This could answer a few of the mysteries but not all!
Why their tent was on the side of the mountain and not logically down at the tree line for shelter and fire wood?
The Army could have moved the tent up the mountain to change the crime scene.
Why there was radioactive material on some of the clothing and why they were not wearing any protective clothes for the harsh climate?
The Army could have changed their clothes and confiscated clothing which showed being radioactive.
Though all good explanations, I do believe there is only one explanation that holds up to all the facets of this case!
Yeti or Abominable Snow Man - Encounter!
On research I found that the small tent used was not their main tent.
They had left supplies at a base camp and were using this very small tent for an excursion.
What was their purpose for climbing the Ural mountain range?
I googled Russian news broadcast for the past year (1958) and found an interesting account of Yeti encounters on this range. That year a number of local Mansi tribe people disappeared.
After an investigation, the Russian Government banned all further reporting on the Yeti with threats of incarceration.
These students may have been acting as investigating reporters and photographers and needed a cover to conceal their true purpose.
The one person they added to their close group was a guide familiar with the territory.
A note on a printed paper in their possession was scribbled “From now on we know that the snow men exist”.
Although they used guns to protect themselves in the wilderness for previous trips (pictures show), they did not carry any this time in case they were stopped and questioned.
Whatever attacked them in their tent did not bite or claw but had extreme power to crush.
A similar attack at Yale BC in the 1800’s by some gold miners who claimed to have captured a baby Sasquatch and in Washington State 1920’s of an attack:
In 1946 Cultus Lake BC a newlywed couple disappeared from their cabin with only large footprints found surrounding the cabin.
Case Scenario
The illogical pitching of their tent in the open rather than down at the tree line may have been due to a scare from the locals at the last settlement.
Towns’ people warned them about reindeer having been found dead in this area.
They may have felt more secure making camp in the open rather than down within the trees.
After setting up camp they would have taken off their boots and put their heavy outer wear outside to dry.
Due to the limited space within the tent they more than likely stored this gear along with their skies and pack sacks in the overhang where the chimney exits.
They then entered the tent using their long johns and tent slippers inside and had supper.
Shortly after supper, two of the men went outside to urinate (documented) with a flashlight, which they left on the roof of the tent (documented) and a lighter and cigarettes to have a smoke.
It was written in their diary that the women did not want them smoking in the hotel rooms or tent.
While outside they were attacked and forced to flee down to the forest for cover.
There they built a fire for warmth, to notify the others and to keep any predators away.
On hearing the commotion outside the tent, 3 of the students with a flashlight went to help and were also attacked.
Unable to reach their outerwear at the back of the tent they too fled down the mountain.
The Yeti then centered their attack on the 4 remaining students left in the tent.
The Yeti being unable to open the tent door or cut through began to pound on the center of the tent while the students inside sliced their knives back through the tent in defense.
It’s been reported that Yeti can use sticks and may have poked through the open slits of the tent with one of the ski poles as it was documented that numerous knife cuts were found on one of the ski poles.
The Yeti attack temporarily stopped when they saw the fire down at the tree line and the 3 students heading towards it with the flashlight (documented and found on this trail still in the on position).
It has been reported that the Yeti are not afraid of fire or light.
The Yeti then caught the 3 students before they could reach the tree line.
Yeti use their large powerful arms to club and then bear hug their quarry until subdued and unconscious, all similar injuries reported on the students.
Forensic Investigators state that when a body is suffocated the blood does not pool back to the organs, but stays at the extremities. The discoloring of the skin seen on the students at their funeral could have been caused by this injury.
Seeing that the fire was attracting the Yeti the 2 students at the tree tried to frantically put it out, it was reported that one of these student’s hands were burnt by this action.
Next they proceeded to climb a tree.
The report claimed they had climbed the tree to observe if their tent was still there to return to.
The problem with this statement is that it was after sunset, in winter, in Russia.
I googled if there was a full moon that night and it shows that there was no moon visible, so it would have been pitch dark.
The only reason to climb a tree at night would be to try and elude a predator.
Sasquatches have been reported with the ability to climb trees.
One of the students was found a few hundred feet from the tree still clutching a branch, as though he had been dragged down from the tree.
When the remaining 4 students of the group did arrive at the tree, they found their companions dead. They proceeded to remove what clothing they could to keep warm rather than return to their tent and what was back there.
They then went to a ravine and dug a snow cave for shelter.
Unfortunately the Yeti were waiting for them in the forest and pursued them, cornering them at the ravine some short distance away.
There has now been a statement that a Yeti Foot print was found at the scene..
The Yeti/Sasquatch have a very large bipedal foot, much like a “Bear Paw Snow Shoe” which leaves a very flat shallow print.
These prints could easily have disappeared with weather conditions.
The final explanation may be the hardest to believe and that is - Why have no further sightings or findings been made of Yeti in this location?
With all of our technologies, these mountains and the world in general have become a lot smaller, but the Universe is immense and unknown.
There were unexplained lights in the sky seen by other observers.
Strange creatures have been reported all over the world with similar globe light occurrences
(Kentucky Goblin Encounter,Chupacabras, Ogopogo, Lochness Monster, and other such things).
Many documented encounters with Sasquatch have been reported with similar globe lights seen around their vicinity.
Could it be that there are time portals throughout the Universe and these creatures accidentally pass through them?
One such strange occurrence happened in Manila in 1593 where a guard was suddenly transported to Mexico City
Could UFO’s seen in the area be trying to relocate these Yetis back to their rightful locations?
Could a nuclear blast such as the 1957-58 Russian accidental nuclear explosion at Kyshtym ( just a few miles south of Oblast Swerdlowsk where these students were) cause a rip in our universe?
This accident reportedly killed 1000’s of people and contaminated a 100 square kilometer area with high level radiation.
Could the radiation on their clothing have come from physical contact with these entities or the terrain itself?
All in all strange and unexplained things happen and it is left up to us to ponder what the truth might be.
Thanks for your ability to have your mind open to care for an explanation for these unfortunate beings.
