Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The Dyatlov Pass incident http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident Investigators at the time determined that the hikers tore open their tent from within, departing barefoot into heavy snow and a temperature of ?30?C. Although the corpses showed no signs of struggle, two victims had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, and one was missing her tongue.[1] Their clothing, when tested, was found to be highly radioactive.[1] Some messed up shit. Any other good ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other good ones? Have read about the pass incident, pretty frightening I've always found this one pretty fascinating: Taman Shud Case 'The Taman Shud Case,[notes 1] also known as the "Mystery of the Somerton Man", is an unsolved case revolving around an unidentified man found dead at 6:30 a.m., 1 December 1948, on Somerton beach in Adelaide, Australia. Considered "one of Australia's most profound mysteries",[1] the case has been the subject of intense speculation over the years regarding the identity of the victim, the events leading up to his death and the cause of death. Public interest in the case remains significant due to a number of factors: the death occurring at a time of heightened tensions during the Cold War, the use of an undetectable poison, lack of identification, the possibility of unrequited love and the involvement of a secret code in a very rare book.'

Juan Rom?n Riquelme Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 So there's six things that freak people out about this one:1. The no-tongued woman 2. A mysterious orange tan on the dead bodies 3. The ripped tents 4. The hikers' lack of clothing 5. The crushing damage done to three of the hikers 6. The traces of radioactivity The big fact that gets lost in the re-telling of this story is that the bodies weren't found until weeks later. It's not like somebody turned their back, then five minutes later all their friends were dead and half naked. That makes the missing tongue a lot easier to explain. As disturbing as it may be, the first thing a scavenging animal is going to go for is probably the soft tissue of an open mouth, especially if it still smelled like the burrito the hiker just ate. Laying out in the sun surrounded by white snow for days also accounts for the weird tan. The trauma and the destroyed tent points to an avalanche. Their state of undress can be explained by paradoxical undressing, a known behavior of hypothermia victims when their brains start to freeze and malfunction. In other words, it's the kind of behavior you'd expect from a group of injured avalanche victims wandering around in the middle of the night in the freezing cold. What about the radioactivity? Or stranger details that turn up in some accounts, like orange lights in the sky? Well, there's the fact that none of that stuff turns up in the original documents from the incident, and appears to have been added later by people who just can't resist making things spookier than they are. It's those later accounts that have stuck in the public memory, because so many of the original reports were destroyed (this was the Cold War-era Soviet Union, which treated casserole recipes as state secrets). So none of the details on their own prove anything other than a tragic hiking accident. The conspiracy-loving public widely reject this, too busy lighting their torches and getting their pitchforks to go hunt down an, "unknown compelling force."

If you're an X-Files fan you'll love it. Even more so if you're a fan of Lost too. You heard absolutely wrong, currently nearing the end of Season 4 and it's almost a cert for renewal. There's an online comic that Joshua Jackson wrote, but it's not a replacement at all, just a supplement. Highly recommend it. You might get a bit bored toward the end of season 1 but it's worth powering through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
