Exploring a Mystery: The Dyatlov Pass Incident

Wayne (Weimin) Li

I have heard lots about the paranormal or mysteries. There are all kinds of theories defining these mystical events. Although, some of them are deliberately caused by someone who wants to be focused on by the public, some mysteries are real indeed. Who did it? The experts are still solving these mysterious questions.
An example of an unexplained event is the Dyatlov incident that occurred in the northern Ural Mountains in an evening of the month of February in 1959 -- the death of nine on a cross country ski trek.

The team's captain was called Dyatlov. He led the trek. When they were climbing the Ridge of Death, the whole team died. The investigation into this matter revealed that the trekkers' tent was open. They were covered by thick snow and had bare feet. There is no evidence of fighting. The scene showed a skull fracture, two broken ribs, and a missing tongue. Some of them were wrapped in rags, but it seemed like these clothes were cut off from the corpses. Through the investigation, it was found that the deceased’s clothing had a strong radiation, even though this radiation may have been subsequently added. However, it was shown that nothing was relevant. One of the experts who surveyed this accident said that the three of the deceased’s fatal injuries couldn't have been caused by humans, but were caused by a kind of unknown power. So far this unknown force is still unsolved.

Secular humanism is informing the focus on supernatural encounters. Yet humans naturally believe in supernatural encounters. These encounters might vary from person to person and culture to culture, but people naturally perceive beings like angels, demons or ghosts to exist.
