    • An unplanned adventure to Mount Orditan leads to a life-changing experience in MayorkaAn unexpected illness led a group of students on an unplanned adventure to Mount Orditan, resulting in a life-changing experience in Mayorka due to unexpected circumstances.

      A unexpected bout of illness led a group of students on an unplanned adventure that turned out to be a life-changing experience. The students, who were trying to reach Mount Orditan (T-O-T-N) in the Euro mountains, encountered extreme weather conditions and had to cross-country ski and climb mountains to get there. They documented their journey through a daily newspaper they created, and their friendship was described as lighthearted and free of tension. However, one member of the group, who had a background in Russian studies, prevented them from traveling to Russia due to visa requirements, resulting in an unexpected trip to Mayorka instead. This experience, though initially disappointing, could have potentially been much worse. The students' diary and photographs show that they had a great time and cherished their bond despite the unexpected detour.

    • Camping on the 'Mountain of the Dead'A group of hikers mysteriously disappeared during an expedition in Russia, possibly due to unconventional practices like consuming reindeer urine from toxic mushrooms.

      During a 1959 expedition in Russia, a group of hikers led by Diatlaw made an unusual decision to camp on an exposed mountain slope instead of in the forest for unknown reasons. They pitched their camp but something unexplained happened between camping and making dinner, leaving them mysteriously disappeared. The local indigenous tribe, the Mansi, called the mountain where this incident occurred "Colot," or the "Mountain of the Dead." The group may have been practicing unconventional methods, such as consuming reindeer pee from toxic magic mushrooms, which could have contributed to their strange behavior. The exact cause of their disappearance remains a mystery.

    • The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Unsolved MysteryThe Dyatlov Pass incident remains unsolved due to unclear return timeline and strange circumstances surrounding the abandoned camp, leaving crucial questions unanswered.

      The mysterious disappearance and eventual discovery of Suzanne and Suzanne's camp in the Wyoming wilderness raised more questions than answers. The lack of specificity in Diatloff's return timeline delayed the search party and allowed crucial time for the perpetrators to escape. When the camp was finally found, the strange circumstances surrounding the abandoned tents, clothing, and gear fueled speculation and suspicion. The official report suggested that there were eight to nine sets of footprints around the site, accounting for everyone in the party, but the sudden and inexplicable departure of the group left investigators baffled. The case remains unsolved, leaving critical questions unanswered and the legend of the Dyatlov Pass incident shrouded in mystery. Listen to the Casefile Presents podcast on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts for a deeper dive into this intriguing unsolved mystery.

    • Mysterious deaths of hikers near a cypress tree with bare feet and burned handsIn the Dyatlov Pass incident, nine hikers died in the Ural Mountains in 1959. Two of the bodies were found near a tree, wearing only underwear and barefoot, with burned hands, suggesting a desperate attempt to climb for warmth.

      The Dyatlov Pass incident involved the mysterious deaths of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains in 1959. Two of the bodies, Yuri Kravana-Shanko and Yuri Doroshanko, were found near a large cypress tree, both wearing only their underwear and barefoot. Their hands were believed to be burned, indicating they may have tried to climb the tree in desperation. The scene suggested they were attempting to return to their camp, possibly to retrieve their gear. The first five bodies were discovered in February and all died from hypothermia. However, when the remaining four bodies were found two months later, they had died from internal injuries and other strange circumstances, such as missing limbs and organs. Despite initial theories suggesting hypothermia as the cause, the bizarre discoveries have left the incident unexplained, with theories ranging from natural phenomena to unexplained occurrences.

    • Mysterious hiker injuries and radioactive clothingUnexplained hiker injuries with no external signs and radioactive clothing found, possibly due to hypothermia-induced paradoxical undressing, but origin of radiation remains unknown, along with reports of glowing orbs and lights in the area.

      The discovery of a group of hikers with severe internal injuries and no external signs of trauma, along with the finding of radioactive clothing, remains an unexplained phenomenon. The injuries were so severe they were beyond what a human could inflict, resembling those from a car crash. Clothes containing radiation were found on some of the bodies, and it's hypothesized that people may have taken clothes from each other due to hypothermia-induced paradoxical undressing. The origin of the radiation and why it only affected the clothing remains a mystery. Additionally, prior to this incident, hikers reported seeing glowing orbs and lights in the area. The combination of these strange occurrences continues to intrigue researchers and leave many questions unanswered.

    • Mysterious deaths at Dyatlov Pass: Unanswered questions and missing informationThe Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959 involved nine hikers who died under mysterious circumstances, with signs of internal injuries and radioactivity at the scene. The investigation was hurried and classified, and significant parts are still missing, fueling theories of government involvement and cover-up.

      The Dyatlov Pass incident, a mysterious event in which nine experienced hikers died under unclear circumstances in the Ural Mountains in 1959, involved several strange occurrences that have left many questions unanswered. The investigation was hurried and classified, and when the files were declassified years later, significant parts were missing. The fact that the investigators discovered radioactivity at the scene and the hikers had died from internal injuries, not hypothermia, raised suspicions. The involvement of a Geiger counter spiking and the unexplained disappearance of parts of the investigation files add to the intrigue. The Soviet government's handling of the case and the missing information have fueled theories suggesting they may have known more than they let on.

    • Reported UFO sightings near hikers in Siberia with unexplained deathsUnexplained UFO sightings near hikers in Siberia resulted in their mysterious deaths, but the cause remains unknown, with theories suggesting radiation exposure, missile tests, or an avalanche, but none fully explain all the evidence.

      During an incident in 1959, there were reported sightings of flying objects, possibly UFOs, near a group of hikers in Siberia whose bodies were later found with signs of radiation exposure and trauma. Two separate groups of people reported these sightings. One person described seeing a large, shining disk with a blue halo and a blue-white light. The lead investigator, Lev Ivanoff, suspected these objects had a connection to the group's deaths, but no definitive evidence was found. Some theories suggest the group was irradiated by the objects or missile tests, or that an avalanche caused their deaths and the radiation was from contaminated snow or gear. However, these theories don't fully explain all the evidence, such as the inconsistent radiation exposure and the missing tongue of one victim. The true explanation remains a mystery.

    • The Dyatlov Pass incident: Unsolved mystery of nine hikers' deathsDespite conflicting theories, the Dyatlov Pass incident in 1959 remains unsolved, with no definitive explanation for the unexplained deaths of nine experienced hikers. The infrasound theory and Mansi tribesmen attack are popular theories, but lack conclusive evidence.

      The Dyatlov Pass incident, which occurred in 1959, remains a mystery with various theories surrounding the unexplained deaths of nine experienced hikers. The official report was sealed for decades, and conflicting information makes it difficult to determine the truth. One theory that gained popularity is the infrasound theory, suggesting that low-frequency sound waves produced by wind could have caused panic and disorientation. However, the scientific evidence for this theory is not conclusive. Another theory discounted is the attack by the Mansi tribesmen, as there was no evidence of footprints or motive for such an attack. The 12-year-old Yuri Kunsevich, who attended the funeral, became obsessed with the case and established the Dietlov Museum to keep the investigation alive. Despite numerous theories, the Dyatlov Pass incident remains unsolved, leaving many questions unanswered.

    • Mysterious deaths at Dyatlov Pass possibly linked to 'mystery tornadoes'The Dyatlov Pass incident, a baffling event where nine hikers died in the Ural Mountains in 1959, may have been caused by 'mystery tornadoes' that produced infrasound, causing panic and disorientation.

      The Dyatlov Pass incident, a mysterious event involving the deaths of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains in 1959, continues to intrigue and confound investigators and the public alike. One theory suggests that unusual wind vortices, or "mystery tornadoes," could have been responsible for the hikers' deaths and injuries, producing infrasound that may have caused panic and disorientation. One hiker, Simeon Zolotarov, a late addition to the group, was found with internal injuries and later identified through a skull match, but DNA testing did not confirm that the body in the grave was his. Some speculate that the KGB may have been involved, but the true cause of the incident remains unknown. Despite extensive coverage, the Dyatlov Pass incident continues to captivate and inspire new theories and investigations.

    • A missing episode on tsunamisDespite efforts to locate a missing episode on tsunamis from Stuff You Should Know, its content and potential impact on humanity remain a mystery.

      There seems to be a missing episode on tsunamis from the Stuff You Should Know podcast, as confirmed by hosts Josh and Chuck in a 2014 episode about rogue waves. The existence of this missing episode has sparked intrigue and speculation among listeners, with some even theorizing that its content could have potentially catastrophic consequences for humanity.

    Humans have always had a strong drive towards exploration. Whether it be land, the ocean, or space, we have an innate sense of wonder about our world and an instinctual desire to prod at its boundaries, an irresistible need to know what lies over the next hill, around the next wave, and indeed beyond the next planet. It is this spirit of exploration that thrums at the heart of our civilization, an engine of enlightenment that has propelled the advancement of human achievement since time unremembered.

     

    In the annals of great explorers, there have been those who were successful in their endeavors to expand our world, and then there have been others who, while perhaps having grand goals, have disappeared into the wilds of the world never to return. In many cases, these lost expeditions and the circumstances of their doom have become enduring mysteries every bit as compelling as the things they had hoped to discover. One such case of an ambitious expedition that has vanished into the realm of mystery is of a exploration team known as the Franklin expedition, which in 1845 sailed from England into the great northern cold at the edges of our mapped world only to never be heard from again.

    The case of Christopher Thompkins takes some strange turns, and I have to confess this is right in my backyard, literally less than an hour away. Many believe there is a supernatural element to this or an otherworldly component. So this missing person case gets quite interesting…but, as a logical person by nature, I have questions. On January 25, 2002, Christopher Tompkins was a 20-year-old young man living with his mother. He was working at a local surveying company. His mother knew the owner of the survey company as she babysat his children. Christopher arrived at work at 8:00 am, left his car at the office, and rode with a co-worker to their job site that day in Ellerslie, Georgia. They were working on County Line Road, in Ellerslie, part of Harris County, Georgia. The four men were working in a line formation, with Christopher being at the end of the line. Each surveyor was about fifty feet away from the next in line.

    Graphic Warning: This story and the accompanying audio and video are graphic in nature, and the content may be disturbing. 


    Though it was a difficult decision, we have decided to broadcast and post the 911 call for help after concerns were raised as to how dispatchers and first responders handled the situation.


    FORT SMITH, Ark. (KFSM) — 911 audio recordings and body camera footage from Fort Smith police officers during their efforts to try and save a Fort Smith woman from last weekend's flash flooding have been released. The audio files released are those of a woman's last dying moments. On Monday (August 26) between dispatchers and first responders were released during their efforts to locate the woman.


    You can listen to the 911 call in the audio file below. We warn you, some may find it difficult to listen to.


    Update: The 911 audio has been edited to remove the final moments of the call.


    Debra Stevens died around 6 a.m. Saturday (August 24) on Kinkead Avenue while delivering papers.


    According to the Fort Smith Police Department, the 911 call came in at 4:38 a.m. First responders were dispatched at 4:40 a.m. The first crews on the scene arrived at 4:53 a.m., but were not close enough to reach Stevens' because of high water. According to Aric Mitchell with the Fort Smith Police Department Stevens’ first call was to a family member. However, as floodwaters continued to rise around her, she dialed 911 from her cell phone.


    Due to high waters, it took more than an hour from Stevens' 911 call for first responders to make direct contact with her. Mitchell says that Stevens was having trouble describing her exact location and flooding limited the ability for first responders to locate her. By the time they got to where her vehicle was, it was too late.


    Emergency crews tried to rescue Stevens but the water was too high and too fast. When first responders were finally able to pinpoint the location of Mrs. Stevens’ vehicle, the swift, rising water made immediate rescue impossible.


    In the recording, you can hear first responders trying to take multiple routes to rescue her.


    After Stevens vehicle became trapped in floodwaters, it floated into a creek at the end of the road. She was unable to escape and died as water filled her car.


    The Fort Smith Police Department is attempting to remain as transparent as possible in this tragedy and has released a timeline of events:


    The 911 dispatcher, Donna Reneau, can be heard telling Stevens "this will teach you next time don't drive in the water...how you didn't see it, you had to go right over it."


    Fort Smith Police Chief Danny Baker released the following statement about the events from Saturday (August 24) morning:


    “I am heartbroken for this tragic loss of life and my prayers are with Debra’s family and friends. All of our first responders who attempted to save Mrs. Stevens are distraught over the outcome. For every one of us, saving lives is at the very core of who we are and why we do what we do. When we are unsuccessful, it hurts.”


    Baker also addressed Reneau's actions, saying "the manner that she spoke during this conversation would have probably been addressed, but it would have been more a rudeness quality type service complaint. I don't think it would have risen to the level of terminating someone."


    Reneau, who is a certified dispatch trainer for new employees, put in her two weeks notice before this and that call came on her last day and final shift. She was named fire dispatcher of the year in February.


    "We can't investigate someone who no longer works here. However, an investigation into our policies, our responses, our dispatch center, I've talked to the fire chief, we are looking at what we can do to increase training for our dispatchers, swift water rescues and other things," Baker said.


    A memorial has been set up in remembrance for Stevens.


    The dispatcher that handled Stevens' call resigned two weeks ago and Saturday was her last shift, according to Fort Smith Interim Police Chief Danny Baker.


    A previous draft of this story stated the dispatcher was fired. This was corrected by Fort Smith Interim Police Chief Danny Baker.
