@@joshdoddadbod Like 90% of his story was different than anything I have ever read on the subject. But he's gone viral and gets lots of likes so his stuff must be more fact that anything we have, right? I used to really like the SR show but he doesn't seem to know a whole lot about the stuff he has his guests get into and he seems genuinely surprised about much of what they say. I took him off my "must watch" list after he had Tim Kennedy on...lost all credibility with that one and I only watch this short about the pass because it offered a new take on the popular mystery. I should have skipped it.

I don't think he means like a literal cave. I think he means like the hikers tried to make some sort of shelter out of the snow. I have seen many TV shows about this and have heard lots of stories done by different creaters. If you haven't I would suggest listening to his full version of this story on Mr. Ballens channel. I don't remember hearing about the scratches on the tree tho either. I think John was just telling a quick version of the story to Shawn for context.

The state of the bodies are as, but not limited to, the following. -Crushed sternum and pelvis -Eyes and tongue torn from body -Bodies found near or within den-like ravine What are such descriptions of the bodies tell-tale signs of?

He didn't go into too much detail, but the ones missing eyes etc were found facedown in a partially frozen stream. It took them WEEKS to find the hikers. The government covered it up because 2 of the hikers were former nuclear plant workers, prompting some conspiracies it was done by the russian government. Locals say there is a highly religious people similar to the uncontacted and someone had swiped something from a shrine and the tribe killed them. In the 80s one man came forward and before he passed away, claims he was the one who did it, that a shrine was desecrated and the tribes shaman used a hallucinogenic smoke to scare them and they all did anything they could to get out, only for the tribesmen to march them, evidence of burnt feet, one mans chest was caved in like he was hit with a sledgehammer. Nothing was proved it was him, and the tribes had a history of persecution by the Russian government. Check out the documentary, it's a great watch.

I saw a video about a similar incident but with the same effects. Long and short of it was wind. Wide open area, strong winds flattened the camp (explains weight/bags on tent to anchor) and would explain why they cut them selves out of the tent with minimal cloths. The cave that was dug in the gully (natural shelter) collapsed. The missing soft parts would be the animals like so many others. I love paranormal but here their are to many easily explained effects. At a glance it's horrific, but step by step is a long list of events that led to the incident.
