If you saw our link last week about the mystery of nine hikers dying in the Urals in 1959, you might be interested in a new story: “Dyatlov Pass Tourists Go Missing While Visiting Area of Mysterious Hiking Incident.”
A group of tourists have gone missing in an infamous Russian mountain pass where nine people died under mysterious circumstances more than 60 years ago. Eight tourists from Moscow who ventured into the Dyatlov Pass in the Ural region had not returned by Wednesday morning as expected, a local resident told E1.RU. The source said: “They were supposed to leave at eight o’clock this morning. But they have not returned yet and there is no contact with them.” The tourists came to visit the pass to pay tribute to the nine people who died there in February 1959, the source reportedly added.
