my first post ever: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident

“An examination of the four bodies which were found in May changed the picture. Three of them had fatal injuries: the body of Thibeaux-Brignolles had major skull damage, and both Dubunina and Zolotarev had major chest fractures. According to Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny, the force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high. He compared it to the force of a car crash. Notably, the bodies had no external wounds, as if they were crippled by a high level of pressure. Dubunina was found to be missing her tongue. There had initially been some speculation that the indigenous Mansi people might have attacked and murdered the group for encroaching upon their lands, but investigation indicated that the nature of their deaths did not support this thesis; the hikers’ footprints alone were visible, and they showed no sign of hand-to-hand struggle.^”

this is the one story that made me want to start writing about paranormal. It just fascinates me that there was no giant effort to explain this incident. The government saw what happened and basically just gave up. It’s scary to think that if anything weird ever happened to you, the people assigned to take care of your case will just give up.
