The Dyatlov Pass Incident Page #4

---

off clouds, things like that.

But you don't believe that.

Hey, you guys should get some sleep!

If we get an early enough start,

we should hit the site tomorrow.

'Kay!

What?

Big day.

Yeah, um, I'm just gonna be a minute.

Okay.

What was that?

What was what?

That sound.

Never mind.

- Holly, get up!

- What?

- Something was here!

- I'm coming.

- You got to see this.

- It's just Jensen, he's screwing around.

- Holy sh*t.

- What the hell?

- Okay, we're rolling. Denise?

- I don't like this.

Denise, if anything was gonna happen,

it would have happened last night.

- You don't know that.

- I wouldn't put you in any danger.

I know that it's weird, but that's

why we have to get it on film, okay?

All right, whatever.

Can you guys wait a sec?

Thanks.

You're a dick.

Okay, so we woke up this morning,

and we found something weird

footprints lurking between these

two rocks and around the tents.

The shape is weird.

See how big that one is?

And then the other one, is even bigger.

Two different sets, two different people.

- Whoa! People?

- I'm not talking about yetis, Jensen.

Oh, come on! Look at the size of

these things. What else could do that?

- I don't know. A bear, a snow tiger?

- What the... a snow tiger?

Snow tigers are all extinct, genius.

It gets weirder.

Anyone hiking in this kind of snow

needs specialized boots.

They need to have a lot of grip, so they

either have spikes or very defined grooves.

But these are smooth.

Whoever it was, they were barefoot.

Now, Andy tells us that as low as the

temperature gets at night here,

you'd lose your toes in ten minutes.

- Which would explain a yeti.

- It's not a freaking yeti!

- How do you know?

- 'Cause yetis don't freaking exist!

- You don't exist!

- For God's sake, Jensen!

Okay, we're rolling.

None of the footprints

lead into or out of the camp.

It's like something dropped

out of the sky,

walked around in barefoot while we were

sleeping, and then took off again.

- Do yetis fly too?

- They might.

Hey. Can we pack up now, please?

- Andy, are there really snow tigers here?

- No, there's no freakin' tigers here.

Come on.

We don't have to cross that, do we?

No.

You guys all right?

You've been quiet all morning.

Yeah, we're fine.

You don't seem fine.

We just don't like

being messed with is all.

Do you think that we're messing with you?

No, we think Bigfoot was checking

out our campsite last night.

How could we possibly fake that?

Oh, you're right, Holly. No one's ever

faked footprints in the snow before.

Freakin' amateur, man.

He's right, Holls.

It's cool to cut loose and have

some fun, but look around you.

This is the last place in the world

you want to have everyone freaked out.

You don't know what you're talking about.

So needless to say, we're all

a little on edge this morning.

Holly! Do you hear that?

So we're searching where we think

those strange sounds came from.

We've listened to the tape, and no one

can even begin to explain what it is.

And then we found these...

just like at the campsite.

No tracks in or out.

We're getting a little freaked out.

Holly! Come look at this!

More footprints!

- What is it?

- It's a weather tower.

They put them in remote areas like this.

That propeller at the top

measures wind speed.

Well, not anymore, it doesn't.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

Look at the footprints.

Whatever made that sound was here,

and I want to know why.

Well?

Hang on. What the...

- Are you okay?

- You all right?

Yeah.

- You sure?

- Uh-huh.

Holly, wait. A tongue?

- This isn't safe, Holly.

- Yeah, that's what it looked like.

It's not nothing. It's a tongue.

We should just leave right now!

Denise, can you just...

- What about the footprints?

- It's probably from an animal.

- Please, can you just give us a minute?

- Hey, hey, hey, come on.

Look, she's just messing around with us

for her stupid movie. Come on.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just a bit freaked out. That's all.

Well, you know, everyone's

a little rattled, but...

I heard about this mountain pass in China

where birds fly into walls

and people and animals go crazy and die.

And it's all because the wind generates

a four-megahertz sound

that makes people go insane.

- Do you think that...

- That the wind is making us crazy?

No, Jensen, we all saw the tape

and heard whatever it was.

Please, tell me what's wrong.

I've heard them before.

Jesus, Jensen.

I had a, um...

I had a really bad trip

when I was in high school.

Like, on acid?

Okay, I've never done it.

It's, uh... it's fun at first.

It's kind of like, um,

all your brain cells are firing

at the same time

for the first time in your life.

Then it got a little weird,

and I heard them.

And they were chasing me,

and I was just running.

And the next thing I remember, um,

the cops were picking me up

and I was in the middle of the street,

screaming about demons.

And...

now I'm out here with you,

and here they are.

Okay, sweetie. When I was a kid, yeah,

I used to have this dream

about this place.

It was exactly the same,

the mountains, the snow, everything.

And it was like there was this

magnet pulling me toward it.

And, you know, I'd get out here,

and then there's this door.

A door.

And I don't want to open it,

but I have to.

And then, like, on the other side,

there's just this darkness, like blackness,

and it swallows me up.

And I used to wake up, like,

absolutely screaming,

and my parents said that I was

having, um, those night terrors.

And they took me to a shrink,

and he put me on pills,

and nothing worked, okay?

And then I saw that news report

about the scientists,

and I just knew.

I said, "That's it. Oh, my God.

That's the place

that I've been dreaming about."

And this is how I know

that we are all gonna do

what nobody else has been able to do

and we are gonna figure out

what happened to those people, okay?

You were just meant to be here too.

Uh-huh? So how's that for crazy?

You've been hanging out

with me for too long, man.

- You're supposed to be our Velma.

- What's that?

Scooby-Doo.

The dog?

Yeah... No, no, Velma.

You know, she's...

In the gang, she's, like,

the smart, the intelligent one,

with short hair and...

Thank you.

- She says, "Jinkies."

- I've never seen it.

Okay, whatever.

Hey, unless you guys want to

camp here, we should get going.

I definitely don't want to camp here, okay?

Okay.

This mountain really is amazing.

Did I already mention how much

I hate these freakin' snowshoes?

Anybody?

Nobody?

Guys, wait!

Come on, slowpoke.

Guys, wait! This is it! We're here!

A break. Oh, thank God.

Are you sure?

I've seen the pictures a hundred times.

This is it.

This is where it happened.

This is Dyatlov's Pass.

- Can you pass the other one over?

- Yeah.

53 years ago today,

nine people set up camp

on this very ground,

ate dinner, and went to bed.

At some point between 9:00
