Welcome to Litsy!

I have been fascinated by the events at Dyatlov Pass for quite some time. This book recounts the author's retracing the journey of the hikers and delivers a very plausible theory of what happened.

I‘ve been interested in the Dyatlov Pass Incident since I first heard about it. What happened to them?
This book explores what happened, tells their story, and comes to the most likely conclusion. Definitely recommend! #dyatlovpass #deadmountain #historical

Well told recounting of the 1959 mysterious deaths of 9 Soviet hikers. I‘m pretty familiar with this case, and found Eichar‘s desire to solve the mystery to be earnest and humble. He pays homage to the hikers respectfully, even traveling to Russia to meet the group‘s lone survivor (which I didn‘t know about!) and trek the same path as the unfortunate group. I also found his theory of infrasound as an explanation to be intriguing and plausible. 4⭐️

I saw a short video about the Dyatlov Pass Incident on YouTube and I was intrigued, so I highly looked forward to reading this book.

Nine hikers set out to trek the Ural Mountains and never return. When their campsite and bodies were found in a mysterious manner, people began to speculate many theories.

This author tried to answer the mystery by doing the same hike. I give it 3.5 stars.

This is one of those books you can‘t stop thinking about. And, I love that the TV show, Expedition Unknown, investigated it…it was incredible to see just how desolate the area really is.

A nice little #audiowalk on a beautiful morning.

Catching up on #savvysettings:I am almost finished with the somewhat uneven adaptation of Station Eleven. The book is set in the Great Lakes region & Jeevan & Kirsten cross a frozen #lake the first winter after the pandemic. Dead #Mountain is still TBR, but I have been fascinated by the Dyatlov Pass Incident since watching a documentary about it several years ago. Although I have only read the first entry in the Flavia de Luce series, I have never

Friday was the first podcast walk I missed all month, but I did get in plenty of steps at the mall, and did listen to the pictured podcast. I just didn‘t do them together. And let me tell you by the end of the day I was missing that alone time.

Today (Friday) I learned that in 1950‘s Russia they used x-Ray plates to make bootleg records.

Only three days left of this awesome challenge. I‘ll miss it!

Took a quick early morning walk yesterday and listened to a weird podcast about Wilfred Brimley. Yesterday was not a day for deep thoughts 🤪

I started the tagged book and learned about the Dyatlov Pass in Russia.

This is a great book that not enough people know about. It‘s about a group of students who died in the Ural Mountains in Russia in the 1950‘s. Recommend for fans of Serial and Into Thin Air. #NFN21

Leftovers and library books are much more my style than yesterday‘s big meal.

This month went fast! Yesterday I started what will probably be my last nonfiction book of the month. I really loved this challenge! #NFN21

Today I learned about the true story behind the Thanksgiving classic Alice‘s Restaurant.

Maybe it‘s better to read it. The audiobook‘s narration was taxing.
Perhaps I‘ll give it another go one day…

A fascinating deconstruction of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. This book serves both to exclude some popular theories as to what happened, and his eventual conclusion is compelling. But what actually happened will always remain a tragic mystery.

Some spooky vibes on this Saturday morning.

Book on Dyatlov Pass

Very well researched and written account and theories of the Dyatlov hiking incident in 1959. I had never heard of it before but was hooked from the very beginning!

In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain....

Written by a documentary film maker, here is a fascinating story about 9 hikers who disappear while hiking in the Russian Ural mountains. These experienced hikers are finally found as if they fled their tent, most without shoes or adequate clothing, some w/ mysterious injuries. Investigations follow with no conclusive answers. Through research and a return to the scene, Eichar posits several possibilities in an attempt to solve the mystery. 4/5 ⭐️

I was particularly interested in the parts from the ‘50s. The author‘s story, I didn‘t find quite as interesting, until he came closer to the end where he ruled out many theories (and, of course, explained why he ruled them out), and put forth a scientific theory as to what may have caused the hikers to retreat from their tent, to ultimately succumb to the elements. There were plenty of photos included, as well

Nine experienced hikers disappear in 1959 in the Ural Mountains and they‘re later found dead in inexplicable circumstances. Mr. Eichar paints a clear and thoroughly researched picture of that time, bringing back to memory those young people that perished in such a mysterious and awful way. Not only that, but he doesn‘t fall into sensationalism, ultimately suggesting a scientific explanation that makes sense, while also disapproving other theories.

My current read because if I read an article about a mysterious happening on the internet then I want to know everything about that. 👀 Also, this is a very interesting book and it looks thoroughly researched so far. Though Tricky doesn‘t seem so interested in it by the way he fell asleep on my feet. 🤓

A friend of mine read this years ago and thought it was such an amazing story..

In 1959, a group of experienced hikers set out in the Russian aural Mountains. Months later, their bodies were discovered #frozen and in such an odd and mysterious way that so many theories abound. I know I want to read this, though something tells me I‘d have to read it in the daylight, since some theories are a little unsettling. #Movember

This non-fiction book about the Dyatlov Pass incident gave me major #chills
#spooktober

Excited to catch #ExpeditionUnknown tonight! They are featuring the tragic hiking incident from the book Dead Mountain.

Finished this great book on this lovely Sunday morning with my kitty, a delicious coffee, and my sweet boyfriend who made it for me while watching The Office in the background. I read an article about the incredible mystery of the Russian Dyatlov Pass Incident recently, which referenced this book. I was intrigued and realized I already owned the ebook. The book is well-researched and has a satisfying ending. Would highly recommend.

I rarely read nonfiction but saw someone post about this book on Litsy and was intrigued by the story. It is a baffling true story about nine people that fled their tents in below zero temperatures without being properly dressed. The mystery is what would push them to do such a thing. I thought it was well researched and very interesting to think about the possible reasons for them to have fled.

I read 9 books this month (I‘ll finish 10 today) and the highlight was Dead Mountain, about the Dyatlov Pass incident. I would also really enjoyed The Passage and The Royal We. #marchwrapup

All of the stars!! If you aren‘t familiar, in 1959, nine experienced hikers in the Ural Mountains left their tent, in various stages of undress, and died under mysterious circumstances. This book does a great job of addressing all the various conspiracy theories surrounding the deaths, and there are many! I thought it was well researched, and very well written. I will also say that I think the conclusion that Eichar arrives at is the best.

My stress level today is really high. It‘s extended family stuff and nothing out of the ordinary just shot that builds. This makes me feel like I‘m failing on all fronts at work 😞 now hopefully my reading break will help AND I get to volunteer at the public library tonight so that‘s good.

Currently reading

5. I love reading long, engulfing, tomes in the dead of winter. Dead Mountain is a true story about some Russian hikers who froze to death under mysterious circumstances.

As a hiker, I have always been intrigued by the Dyatlov Pass Incident. The author, Donnie Eichar, gives his theory about what happened to the 9 hikers that mysteriously died in the Ural Mountains located in the Soviet Union back in 1959. It all makes perfect sense now...

My insomnia is rampant this past week.... tons of reading is getting done but damn I miss sleep. Deep peaceful sleep 😴 on to finish another unfinished read.

Thorough and great read. I read this one a few times. It went into every little crevice of the case without rambling. Great one.

The last book on my last tbr - #kindletbrbingo I have heard about this tragedy before, but when someone me@ruined this book, I had to get it.

This cheerful group of Russian students perished on a hiking expedition in 1959. The baffling circumstances surrounding their deaths have transfixed many people over the years, including myself. The author presents the facts with great clarity and respect for the deceased, and offers a well-researched and convincing theory of what happened during the “Dyatlov Pass Incident.” This book is interesting, frightening, & deeply sad. An excellent read.

I don't read a lot of nonfiction but I've always been fascinated by this mystery. I'm halfway through and it's very interesting.

The story of the hikers' doomed expedition is fascinating and the mystery centers around the bizarre condition their corpses were found in and some strange clues centered around their camp site. While the hikers were all experienced, their behavior seemed out of character and their fate seemed to be unimaginable, or at least unlikely, for a group with outdoors skills such as they had, even in the extreme conditions they faced. An excellent read.

Regarding my previous post: this explains the quantity of great (but ultimately sad) photos.

The photos in this ebook are fantastic. And the quality is maintained even when you click and zoom. I'm impressed.

I've run across the street in shorts and slippers to get the mail in -25F weather, so I can relate. Or maybe not.

Going with an e-book rather than paper as I have a long trip ahead (and I'll probably buy books while traveling). Not a fan of reading on an iPhone but it will do.

Finished this before work this morning. I'd definitely recommend it! Although it's quite unsettling, and I did have a bit of trouble sleeping while reading. All of this was to be expected because of the a) material and b) my intense imagination

So, as most of you know, I listen to the unexplained podcast and I recently listened to the episode about the Dyatlov Pass incident. I can honestly say I have never been so unsettled yet so intrigued by a real life mystery. So, naturally I went out and bought the book mentioned in the podcast
