The blinking old photos with the slight facial expressions is such a subtle but masterful stroke in the telling of this horrific story. I wish Hollywood would take notice of your technique. The subtlety and murky elegance of horror over a blatant jump scare is what really takes my breath away!
@@ohsuzeyq_ The effect is effective (and unsettling enough to give me the chills). All those old photos I've seen of long dead people... slowly coming back to life.
Celia Lovett He is getting really good with that program. At the start we got blinks...but now I see little mouth movements and eyebrow lifts. It IS more subtle, but also more complex as he expands the levels of expression he applies. It is like actual personality is being introduced to animate the photo, in a more than simply manual, one size fits all manner. That is real Oddie magic...he always gets the feels right, and he keeps getting better. I would love to see someone like Netflix take him on, but they only look at material brought to them by agents or directors they already have a relationship with. He is doing really unique art with the way he puts together a story...I fully agree.🖤🇨🇦
@@ObsoleteOddity here in the United States the Bigfoot researchers always try to say that Sasquatch or Bigfoot are mainly peaceful as long as you stay out of their areas where they are located! Not true at all! Research the disappearances in our national parks! I live in Louisiana and I work for a Billboard company so I travel back and forth between Louisiana Mississippi and Arkansas and Texas! I do my own research on the creatures and the Sasquatch up north are very different from the Southern Bigfoot! The ones here in Louisiana are very aggressive and you don't want to run across one by yourself! Another thing is that if you see one I guarantee you that there are at least one or two more creatures hiding and circling your position! I was run out of the Atchafalaya Basin by at least two of the creatures! They basically made enough noise to let me know that they were not happy that I was there and I had my 8 year old grandson with me so I made sure I got out of the woods as fast as possible! The 2 creatures followed me breaking trees and grunting and very heavy breathing and even a couple of growls! My daughter bought a house on a new road and only a couple of houses far away from her! This is supposed to become a new neighborhood! At the end of her street and across from her home are woods and Swamp! My grandson and myself were in the woods at the end of the street! My daughter had called me one day because she was walking in the woods with her children and she came across a 18 inch smeared foot prints with four toes! So she called me to come out there and take a look! I always carry my 44 magnum pistol! I had been there a few times before the incident happened with my grandson and myself! That day we were run out of the woods I made sure that I had my Pistol in my hand while we were exiting the woods! I've heard many times that the creatures know what guns are and I figure that's the only reason why the creatures didn't get any closer to us! I never saw them but I could hear them walking and following us! Btw there are no bears in this area! The biggest creatures living back there are wild hogs and deer! I know the sounds that those animal's make and the grunting and growling and the breathing were not any of those animals!!!! The Yeti is considered to be a lot more aggressive than it's American cousins but I think that depends on where you have a encounter! Hopefully one day we will have the concrete proof that we need to put this myth to rest and hopefully one day we will have the body of one in a museum somewhere that we can all visit!!!!
@@williamoleschoolarendt7016 Incredible! Thanks for sharing that. There must be something to all this, there are too many accounts and too many people going missing in national parks.
I almost froze to death and believe it or not, when you start to feel extremely cold and then you start to feel warm, I almost laid down in the snow but I knew if I did I would die . I was 12 years old and this is the first time I have spoken about it, I am now in my 70's. Thank you for letting talk about my experience. I love your stories that explain many details of our history . Bless
This is so true. One very snowy + freezing cold November, windchill of -20F (-29°C), I was deer hunting. My eye lashes had icicles! Thought to myself, this is so not worth it. As I started back towards cabin, I tripped and fell over a log. I was tired, no longer cold, and did not want to get back up. So, thought, I'm just going to rest here a few minutes. As I laid on the snow, I was so calm and closed my eyes. Then I heard by brother in law call out in a panicky voice. He just happened to return to cabin and was going back out to hunt til dusk with the others. Had he not seen and woke me, I likely would not be commenting now. Strange how hypothermia 'warms' your body.
Joan, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I still remember the warmth I felt on that day when I was 12 years old , I am now in my 70's. It just wasn't our time, your brother inlaw was your angel on that day Bless him. I smile when I think of the warmth I felt. Again thank you for sharing Valerie
I love how courteous you are to your American viewers, putting in the extra time and effort to convert celsius into fahrenheit, not many other people would be nice enough to do that. You are a rare gentleman! (^_^)
@Omara Oliver No. My hubby has a crush on Christina Hendricks, and says that I look just like her. This just happens to be my favorite photo of her because she isn't afraid to show off her full figure. She's bold AF and I admire her for that.
teiyialachey Oddie is always special that way. He is one of those rare true gentlemen left in the world. It is always such a delight to listen to his historical pieces because he affords the victims dignity, and makes the focus more on them than the perpetrators. I also really like that he keeps the trolls off the comment section, allowing us to hold interesting and involved discussions in a safe place...no politics, no bullying, and respect for each other. I almost never commented until finding Oddie Beau...now I have a hard time shutting up...laughing.🖤🇨🇦
Wow, Mr. Yudin likely had the worst case of survivor's guilt, though clearly he wasn't meant to go with them. This is such a tragic and haunting story. You did an excellent job of bringing life to their photos. A great reminder of how alive they were. Thank you.
About two years ago I saw an updated special on this story, I believe it was on National Geographic. A man who was on his deathbed was on the show, and with only days to live at the most, he revealed a lot of unknown information. He was one of the very first people in the first group of the search party to get there. He said that they were all informed that if anything they saw, heard, witnessed or experienced was repeated, "they would be dealt with". Incredibly, he said that the military HAD already been there, but then flew in, in helicopters as though they were just getting there, and there were so many footprints in the snow it was ridiculous! One interesting thing that he said was that the military was VERY paranoid and constantly watching the wood line as though they were terrified of something, he did say that was why the investigation was cut so short: some Soviet soldiers were actually defying direct Soviet commands: in other words they would rather be killed by their government than whatever they thought was in those woods. But the most damning thing he said was that when he had been younger, during WWII, for a short time he had worked for the KGB. He said when he was inspecting near the tent, it was obvious that the bodies had been tampered with and repositioned, but at one point he looked down and saw something that made his blood run cold. Next to one of the bodies was (I could be wrong about the actual object, but the facts around it are factual) a KGB issued cold weather boot cover for the extreme cold. He grabbed it and put it in his pocket. In the interview he showed it to the camera, and it was indeed confirmed to be authentic to that time. Another thing left out is that the head of the party did indeed get into a heated discussion with a group of the Manzi tribe; the Manzi were warning them that if they got to their destination; they would not live! The Manzi had nothing to do with the incident, they wouldn't step foot on that ground... until they began to realize they were wrongfully becoming suspects. On a sad note, many of them were tortured by the Soviets to get information and of course got none because they were innocent. But they obviously knew something! Great video, I am not saying your video was wrong, just filling in a few blanks. No disrespect intended my very good friend. As always, keep up the "odd" work!
If you can find a link to this interview id greatly be appreciative. I heard about the felt boot but Yudins claim of it disappearing now makes more sense. I am truly thankful for stumbling upon your comment. If you haven't heard of dyatlovpass.com it's an amazing item to look into.
🤔. Now I’m not saying this DIDN’T happen to him. The soviets were/are an extremely secretive lot, and sometimes they don’t even know why, I’m guessing. But....LOTS of people give false deathbed confessions, for some reason. Fake Billy the Kid and John Wilkes Booth are two that come immediately to mind🤷♀️. I’m sure there’s many, many more. People take deathbed “confessions” as gospel, for some reason. Just sayin’.
I am 😂. I only came across his channel by accident and decided to have a look and now I'm hooked. I watch/listen to at least 5 a night when I'm in bed. The only problem is I'm catching up which means soon I'll have to wait for another video and I hate waiting 😂 He's brilliant.
I'm a retired combat veteran, and I've seen and heard some pretty messed up things in my life. One thing I think I've always kind of prided myself on is my lack of fear in situations that most others would be petrified in. I currently live in the Philippines and because of how hot it gets, it's common for us to pull the curtains open and leave the front door open (almost all doors here are screened) so that cooler air, should there be any, can come in and circulate... Keep in mind this is an extremely safe neighborhood, and there have been zero incidents of any kind, be it petty crime, or the like. You my friend have done something with this video that has me completely shaken. I've drawn my curtains closed, closed the door and dead bolted it, and you've made me paranoid to the point that I won't turn my back to the door. You sir, are brilliant. Job very very well done. I had heard of Dyatlov Pass before, but never researched it at all. I'm proud to say this is the very first thing I've ever watched on it, and man alive, you have me terrified. So much for sleep.
Never trust super safe neighborhoods with no violence, because nothing ever happens . . . until it does. I remember there was one city in Florida that was declared the safest city in the country, and then a massive school shooting happened a couple of days after that (it may have been the next day).
I was 9 years old when this occurred, and I recall listening to the adults discussing the little information that was allowed out to the world press. I remember the most prevalent thoughts among my Grandparents and their formerly Russian neighbours centred on the Cold War, which was definitely being waged at the time. They thought the military was testing new weapons in the isolated area, and the hikers were collateral damage or intentional Guinean pigs. Both America and the USSR were doing experiments with sound waves and their potential as weapons...much like ultrasound is now used to drive rodents from a house. There was thought that there was a specific low tone that could disrupt the internal organs. Both countries were also testing in air detonations of different bomb types...both nuclear and conventional, there was talk of hydrogen bombs and a neutron bomb that would kill living organisms but not destroy buildings...they wanted to see the damage levels from arial detonation at various heights above ground. I’m sure that a bomb detonating over your tent might lead to panic...I know I would be wanting better protection than an already compromised tent. I do not recall any discussions of a Yeti or Bigfoot...they seemed pretty sure it was military, and they could easily have tried to trigger and control an infrasound weapon under development...there were a LOT of strange weapon concepts under Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev...including ESP and other metaphysical techniques, (my Gran was very interested in these studies). A lot of the information and photos we have today were suppressed at the time either for security reasons or to avoid an international embarrassment to the USSR through the unexplained deaths of 9 experienced mountain hikers in their territory. From the little that was released, it appeared to be death by misadventure, and Khrushchev closed the investigation rather abruptly citing a “compelling natural force”. My Granther and the neighbour man didn’t buy the official story for a minute, and would have very animated discussions while I quietly eavesdropped from behind Granther’s chair until caught by Gran and sent off to bed. It is because of those overheard conversations...lubricated with vodka (Granther and the Neighbour man...not me!), that this particular case has stuck with me, and still draws me into speculation as access is granted to some of the more primary sources...the group diary, and the investigation files...(at least select ones) they closed the investigation after only a month with no clear cause assigned. This Historical case by you Oddie has brought it back into my curiosity zone again, so if I should discover anything really interesting I will let you know. Once more into the breach!...I do love a challenge.🖤🇨🇦
Liza Tanzawa You are very welcome, I think this was actually my first real mystery I had some experience of, and was able to understand the differing views of the adults. I was always listening and trying to figure out what they were talking about...but this case seems to be where it began to make sense to me. I guess that is why I always seem to return to it every now and then, and ease out another bit of the real narrative.🖤🇨🇦
Connie Pratt It was fun listening to the adults when they forgot you were there wasn’t it? I still remember specific comments, or a joke they might tell that was inappropriate when I repeated it...laughing as I remember and glad you have those same memories of your own.🖤🇨🇦
The photos with the blinking eyes, etc. were really something. It brought them to life instead of just being old photos. Thanks so much! And thank you for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit!
Dear Sir you have a GIFT!!! This is by far the best presentation of this incident I’ve ever seen and I’ve been obsessed with this case for about five years. Especially the way that you animated those photographs of the victims, it’s as though for a moment you brought them back to life. How beautiful. Brilliant!!! Thank you so very much...
I love how "Obsolete Oddity" is almost always cleverly placed in your presentations, Oddie! It has now become my mission to always seek it out! Thank you so much for your intriguing work! 🌻
I have seen a number of recent videos regarding this incident. Yours has been the best thus far. Much easier to follow and a great presentation of the facts as known. Thanks so much, Oddie for another Saturday morning well spent!
I absolutely adore what you did with the pictures. I haven't seen something like that on any other channel although this story is haunting so many TH-camrs. Keep up the fantastic work! Believe me when I say, your work is absolutely unique and very appreciated:)
@Wubba Wubba - That's exactly how I feel. Especially, when the people blink, and move their mouths, etc. It is so creepy, but it's like you're watching video of them, staring right at us.
Fabulous comment! You're absolutely right -- this gentleman's voice evokes the unique talents of Vincent Price. Particularly this man's exquisite diction and perfectly paced delivery. It's SO refreshing hearing a good story (especially this one!) unfold naturally -- as opposed to current media belief that speedy-mumbly speakers using tones of panic will grab reader's attention. (I think not!)
I never got notifications of your comments. Thank you so much for your wonderful replies. I agree, SwimSwede. There’s nothing like the wonderful, rich voice, with a perfect delivery. Thank you for the heart, KoolGrannie Nance. 🌹
Very tragic, sad, mysterious & fascinating story. Really makes one wonder what actually happened. I appreciate the way you always go the extra mile for your viewers. Great job, Oddie!
I have had a long held interest in the 'Dyatlov Incident' and have read or viewed most of the material available on it. Your summary of teh story was excellent and obviously well researched. Some of the images you showed I haven't seen before and you obviously dug deeper to find images from other trips that Dyatlov and his colleaugues had done. Much of the Russian military record of involvement still remains top secret (which in itself is strange) however recently some was released including diary records from one of the expeditioners suggesting they were being 'stalked' or followed in the 24 hours prior to the event, even to the point that on the fateful night they camped 800m out of the forest tree line to minimise the forest cover a stalker might use. I understand the Russian military files also admit they were there on the site shortly after the incident occurred (same night) which is also supported by the fact some odd pieces of military kit (a gater) was found in the tent which in 1959 would have been unatainable by civilians. The Karman Vortex theory sounds very interesting and should be explored some more in light of the recently available records perhaps. Thank you for a first class film clip
@@muratkartal6567 A gaiter is a covering worn over the boot and lower pants leg. It helps to protect the lower leg when hiking, particularly in rough or wintry conditions. During that time they were standard military issue. Hope that helps.
Thank you for mentioning the fact they set up camp in such a peculiar location. While it could be due the fact they were exhausted, experiencing extremely bad weather, and couldn't hike another mile on those conditions....It's still an odd choice for experienced hikers to chose that location. Besides the reasons I mentioned, it's possible they chose that location to survey their surroundings and thats why they slit a hole on the tent.
Ahhh yes, one of my favorite narrators covers one of my favorite mysteries! Masterfully done. I, too, believe in the infrasound theory; it explains their quick escape from the tent and the distance they traveled to get away, as well as why all nine of them were affected seemingly at once. Occam’s razor explains most of their injuries as well. Amazing job Oddie.
No one wants to say it!!! It was deafinatly UFO that did this, how do you explain rediation, and missing skin, tongue, and eyes ,broken ribs as if they where thrown from a high distance.
Missing skin, eyes, tongue: scavenging animals and putrefaction. The four in the ravine suffered crush injuries from falling from great height...because they couldn’t see the ravine in the dark and fell into it. The simplest answer is usually the right one.
I always feel overwhelmingly sad when I read or hear about this story. I can only imagine how excited and happy they all were to be going on this hiking trip together, all of them so young and full of life. For it to end so tragically and violently is just so heartbreaking! It's a fascinating mystery and I KNOW there is more to the story. It would have been AND was so easy for them to twist and manipulate the "facts" to be whatever they wanted them to be. Thanks for doing this story.....
I have heard this story many times and it is still so baffling, yours is the best telling and has the most compelling explanation, so long ago, and yet so sad and unimaginable what these poor people must have suffered through....and as we are learning in this century infrasound is very real and can be used as a very scary weapon as well, I am with you Oddie this is a very plausible explanation.
Cannot believe ya got actual photos included here in your video, many others don’t. But your presentation craftsmanship, and unique, breathtaking editing skills are beyond words! Thank you!
I only wish he (and other vid creators) had included on the photos THE NAMES of those shown on them ! This is something that all the Dyatlov videos lack, unfortunately.
Your editing skills are superb, your narration is well-paced and I like the pauses during the video itself.. it gives the viewer time to really take in information.. great job overall! Keep it up Oddie!
I enjoy your videos very much, which is why I am a subscriber and have notifications on for your videos. The pictures and narration were excellent; it kept my attention throughout the video. You have a flair for this kind of storytelling, thanks for sharing!!
So absolutely thrilled you've done this !!! I am watching as I write !!!! (more when I finish watching) !! That was really interesting ! I had seen quite a few things on it in the past and was really excited for the new information about the tent. . . . can't wait to read that. . . Great job by your researcher, very thorough and informative. . . . many thanks to both of you !!
I know I say this every time but I absolutely LOVE your videos. They are all so well done. You put so much effort and time into them (which is very rare on youtube). I still can’t understand how you don’t have millions of subscribers. I truly appreciate your hard-work. Also, loved the bloopers haha :D You sound like a very kind person :)
SPLENDID MYSTERY!! Wow Oddie this story was fabulous! I'm totally stumped about the cause of this tragedy. My only thought was alien attack which is "out there". These hikers died horrifically. It seems as tho we will never know what happened. A sad story. Kudos to you and your Patreon supporter!
Thanks dear heart for scaring the living hell out of me, LOL! Not being able to see the lightning strikes coming the sound scared me half to death. And listening to it with earbuds just made it more intense. Anyway, got a better perspective of the story and I have no theory to go on. Whatever happened to these folks had to be so horribly bad that they would put themselves at risk. Just another story to add to many stories that we will never get the answers to. Thank you so much for posting the video. Everyone take care, take it easy and be safe PS your blooper were absolutely adorable
Wow this is such a chilling story! I also think some kind of mass confusion and panic plagued the group! Its so sad either way, such beautiful minds wasted!! Great job thank you.
It's a dark and rainy morning here in Austin, TX and this is perfect for a Saturday like this one. It's hurricane season here so we can expect this kind of weather off and on for at least another month. I'm glad I've got Oddie here to calm me after a long week of classes! Thanks, bro!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I, too, have long been fascinated by this tragedy. The info from the other commenter here is very interesting. Oddie, thank you for yet another fabulous video ! This is my 2nd or 3rd watching.
Hands down best dyatlov pass documentary ever ! You did this story better than anyone elses that I've seen 😄thank you so much for all your amazing informative content 👍also rest in peace to all these poor victims🥀
This is the most detailed reading of the case I’ve ever heard! Usually other ones leave out a lot of detail! You must have put a lot of time into this! Good job!
Hello!! Infrasound sounds best of all the theories to me as well, was very interesting and intriguing can’t imagine their fear what a horrible way to die nonetheless. I think infrasound is most logical. Thanks loved it and loved your bloopers ❤️👍
ObsoleteOddity No problem!! Good work should be recognized! As mysterious and strange as this event is, it boils down to 9 human beings who had their whole lives ahead of them dying horrifically. I wish there was an answer. Keep up the good work my friend!
I think the Russian Government knows exactly what happened to these poor kids. Sadly the world will never know what Really Happened it'll be a Russian secret forever.
And if there was tracks they had been covered up maybe a helicopter was involved how other way there was no other foot prints well I seen these type of things in movies anything is possible indeed evil is in this world
It maybe a "Soviet secret." The Soviet Union used to keep bad news to a minimum. Their propaganda machine maintained the illusion that they were the perfect utopia.
i think the government is connected to this. the government has so much power that they can shut down any case and or deny anything that they are involve in. theyre dirty and hide so much and they dont give a shit bout their own people like these young students. they found radiation everywhere and that right there is a given. radiation is connected to aliens and aliens are connected to the government. so therefore they all must be working or doing some testings. so these kids prolly unknowingly mustv maybe stepped into their own fence and went ahead kill them. look up phil shneider he will tell u the truth on the government and aliens. this case will never be solved why? becus its governmental shit.
There is no mystery honestly - Dyatlov wasn't experienced enough, so the group set the camp in the wrong place, when the snow storm began snow started to fall on the roof of a tent and eventually the tent fell with the snow and injured a few students with its weight, the group had to move back fast but it was too cold and there weren't enough people to carry the injured, they had to split up - some stayed with the injured and some kept going to get help, but eventually decided to make fire and rest, fell asleep and died of the cold and tireless (it explains why they had some burns). The postmortem injures (missing eyes etc) were made by birds and other animals. (There is a good video with the reconstruction of this event made by experienced ski hiker; it's among the popular videos (it's called Перевал Дятлова. Тайна раскрыта or smth like that, it's in Russian but you can try using subtitlesand translate them into english). The government here is not the best one but in this case it has nothing to do with anything. Just an accident really.
LUVED this, thank you! This was my introduction to this story and what an introduction it was! The eyes were soooooo wonderfully creepy and at the same time intensely humanizing. It can be easy to forget with these stories that these were real people with hopes and dreams and people who loved them dearly. I will never forget this video and how this story captured so much emotion. I really appreciate it!
This channel is very good with so many fascinating stories!!! I have been interested about this particular case of the missing 9 hikers in 1959 but after all these years many important tracks have disappeared and I am afraid this will be forever unsolved although I do have my own theories !!!
Wow! What a great video! What a way to tell such a terrifying story! The way you made those old pictures come alive by manipulating the eyes and mouths was fantastic! Congratulation on your work!!! I love the way you detail everything and the additional footage that gives us a better understanding of the situation. If I had to choose one of those theories I'd go with the alien attack.
I just finished watching this..alone..at night. I jumped out of my skin when those two lightening strikes hit! An excellent telling of such a sad, disturbing, scary story. Kudos to you Oddie and Sara.
Another sensational video! Perfect pace, wonderful use of the sad & poignant photos. The gentle music was so appropriate. Such an intriguing story.......
This was a great treat . It's cold in Durban and it fitted the theme of this video . Brilliantly done Oddie and Sara . With regards to theories we must remember that this was the Soviet union and many cases were covered up . Access to information was controlled by the party leadership. Like you I find it difficult to understand how they could ascertain which footprints belonged to the hikers . I also find it strange how they could be so sure of the time of the deaths since the bodies were discovered at least three weeks later in a cold climate . The fact that there was an attempt to build a fire outside of the tent prices that something or someone scared them enough not to want to return . We may never know . Hope you enjoyed your holiday Oddie .... hmmmm did you say red light district video ?
I like your insights Lewellyn - I also wonder about the investigation, something about the way it's quickly explained way and covered up, troubles me. The condition of the tent and their inadequate clothing, suggests sheer terror. Thank you for your very kind feedback my friend.
Fantastic job as usual. I really like your choice of music for this video; instead of going with something creepy or eerie, it's just a little bit sad. It also creates the feeling of wind, even when you haven't added actual wind sound.
This is just the craziest story I've ever heard! You did such an incredible job with the story thank you! I've heard about it before however, you explained it with such great detail.. not to mention the photographs were incredible! I can't imagine what those poor nine people went through that night!!!! Literally must have been hell on Earth.
I have watched many a video on this incident and come away none the wiser. Fortunately the narrator on this video has gone above and beyond. Excellent job well researched and thank you very much for your work.......
Sometimes I don't get notified about some of your videos, which I love, and they pop up months later in my feed. That was the case with this video which I just viewed. May I also add, your voice is absolutely marvelous. Anyway, congratulations. I've seen many videos which have detailed this event and the strange occurrences, but this video was by far the best. I questioned whether I wanted to hear and watch yet another retelling of this event, but I am so glad I did. The extra effects with the old photos just put it over the top. Thanks for all you do! Love you! Janet
I have heard of this case on other channel but I most say you did a excellent job of reviewing the case. I wasn’t even aware of all those theories. You made this case more realistic! Thank you so much 😊
This story is crazy and sad. The only reason they would flee the tent is if their death was imminent. After watching your episode I read up on this case and watched a few more documentaries. Even though Russia finally released information about this case in 90s I am certain some of their findings will never be released to the public. This story is baffling. If I added all my theories about what happened my comment would turn into a book. I wish I could chat with you or someone interested in this case, somone with theories their own. This was another great episode... well done!
What an absolute joy to see you & your historical stories !!! I have missed you and your fascinating stories !!! As I've mentioned before your graphics are superb !!! In closing I love listening to your soothing voice, and would like to become a member of patreon...Bravo to all the time and hard work you put into for our pleasure 😊
Love your stories. You dig deep for information, documents, original pictures of the victim’s bodies. Others may not have shown us the pictures. Adds to the interest of the story. Good work.
Dyatlov pass mystery is a fascinating story. This video was very well done! The information was presented so completely. I have read. Other articles/watched videos on this case. This was the best presentation ever. The list of possible causes is the most complete I have seen. Norma Jean Morrissey
@@showtime516 The soviet union wasn’t too open with information. They would often tamper with statistics to make their country seem safer, and many crimes and mysterious events were covered up.
@@showtime516 Most communist countries will relase only information that shows them in a favourable light, and tend to be happy to shoot any whistle blowers. Cherbobyl is a perfect example
Hey Oddie, I read about this bizarre story several months ago and it certainly is baffling. The abscence of strangers' footprints rulls out any interference by "others". The intrasound theory does seem the most plausible, imo. But what could have ripped out eys and and tongue? I need to become a pledgee still. Thanks for uploading the one.
Excellent re-telling of this tragic incident. It has always fascinated me. Seeing the faces of those young people moving was a special and lovely touch. You really are good at what you do Mr Oddie, and long may you continue doing it!
Out of all the different channels that have covered thiz story....this one is the only one where I've learned and heard parts about what happened that fateful night!!! The events that led up to it and the pictures!!! None were az informative as this !!! I truly enjoyed it and ended up watching it twice so I made sure not to miss anything! Thanks for ALWAYS bringing the best content!!!! I can't believe as long as I've been a subscriber that TODAY is when I finally came across this video!! Being that its from 2018 and I follow you religiously!! I don't know how i missed it before! But am very glad that I have gotten to see it!! Keep up the AWESOME work Oddie!! ❤1 of your #1 fans!😎😘
Thank you so much for reaching out with your lovely message Ruthy. Such wonderful feedback makes the time and effort well worthwhile. Bless you for that Best regards Oddie
Luv how u broke down everythin! Lol! I was doin the theories that i thought out loud and and then U started listin them! That was awesome and funny at that same time! U and Sara did good! Cheers to both of ya! Thanks for all Ur hard work for all Ur videos!!
A very detailed, well explained and thought provoking program. Thank you. It really is frustrating not to be able to close this case. I really feel for the family members. My condolences. I wish you peace of mind, and rest in Heaven to your loved ones.
There was a movie made, based on the hikers in the Ural mtns. 5 American students flew to Russia to investigate the mystery of what happened 2 those hikers, only to meet an unfortunate fate of their own. Thanks 4 bringing this 2 us. I've always been interested in the story & what exactly happened 2 them. It teaches us to have a healthy respect 4 certain things. Lastly, thanks 4 differentiating Celsius to farenheit!👍👍💯
Exceptional quality videos as always, thank you Oddie and thank you so much Sara for all your hard work and effort. No matter how annoying some of these commercials are (I mute some of them) or how much I anticipate in a hurry and watch your videos, I always make sure to never touch the skip button and allow it to play out to your video because it is the commercials how Oddie's channel gets paid by TH-cam. And thank you for letting us know in a past video because I had no idea and it is just a free gesture on the part of your fans to be able to do that in the very least aside from watching the uncensored videos on Patreon and your cool merchandise. My middle name Niuryth (I go by Nina) was named after a close family friend who is Russian and lived near that area until the 1970's that she came to US. Without detail to avoid possible political talk, it was military testing and that is why everything was done with mistakes on purpose. No matter how many investigations are done, the government wants this and things of this nature to be kept at their discretion, with no exceptions. As most know, that has always been their form of MO, and even more so during those years.
ObsoleteOddity My pleasure always, and as well it also came to me, there are times I am in the middle of doing a task that has most of my attention, and will have TH-cam on pause if I am not listening to music and I sometimes I'll just replay your videos to hear your soothing voice on back round and take the occasional glance until I replay and watch your videos again, because they are that good. The point of this comment sorry for the ramble,, A suggestion only: To your loyal fans who could contribute in a way that cost nothing but a free gesture of a few moments of time, is to also play Oddette's videos even if they might not want to listen what they don't understand, but play them to help her very new channel as it could also boost revenue which would only help Oddie to do what he does as every bit helps. Maybe you could mention this in your next video which I look forward to seeing from your holiday in France. Blessings, Love and Light Sent to You and Odette.
I have been fascinated by the Dyatlov Pass tragedy and mystery for years. You have done one of the best and most informative presentations about the events and theories surrounding it that I have seen. Well done you! I have come to believe that Yeti do exist: not as some supernatural beings, but rather a species of which we have only had glimpses over the decades. After all, gorillas were considered to be mythical creatures by the west until the mid-1800s. I think that the Yeti fall into a similar category and like gorillas, we will one day know much more about them. That having been said, I’ve read that the Mansai people have said for years that the part of the Dead Mountain where the unfortunate hikers set up their camp was inhabited by the Yeti who were not known for their welcoming nature. I also read that a note was found that said, “Now we know the Snowmen are real.” ( Snowmen being one name for Yeti). Yeti are notorious for their ability to erase their tracks, which is why so few have been photographed. If Yeti attacked the hikers’ tents from the outside or if the terrified young people saw them approaching and hurriedly cut their way out from the inside, it would explain why seasoned skiers would rush into freezing temperatures half-dressed. Also, it would account for the crushed parts of some
I really love how you use that animation with the subject's portraits. It brings them into the present, giving them life and relatability. Thank you for your respectful (and creepy) recounting of these various events. Its fascinating!
Great telling of this mystery. Loved the living snapshots. I think some sort of mass psychotic/hysterical episode occurred; like the wind phenomenon or some chemical agent: mushrooms or ergotamine from mouldy bread? Thanks again for a great video.
The blinking old photos with the slight facial expressions is such a subtle but masterful stroke in the telling of this horrific story. I wish Hollywood would take notice of your technique. The subtlety and murky elegance of horror over a blatant jump scare is what really takes my breath away!
I agree. But I think the idea may have come from the Harry Potter movies. Still made the video better. I like Oddity's work.
Celia Lovett I like that he made them look alive once more
@@ohsuzeyq_ The effect is effective (and unsettling enough to give me the chills). All those old photos I've seen of long dead people... slowly coming back to life.
Celia Lovett He is getting really good with that program. At the start we got blinks...but now I see little mouth movements and eyebrow lifts. It IS more subtle, but also more complex as he expands the levels of expression he applies. It is like actual personality is being introduced to animate the photo, in a more than simply manual, one size fits all manner. That is real Oddie magic...he always gets the feels right, and he keeps getting better. I would love to see someone like Netflix take him on, but they only look at material brought to them by agents or directors they already have a relationship with. He is doing really unique art with the way he puts together a story...I fully agree.🖤🇨🇦
@@ohsuzeyq_ me too...gave me goosebumps
No joke, the blinking, slowly moving photos are unsettling.
It's a great effect!
Freaked me out!
Too true. When I saw Yuri Dyatlov blink I cried ❗️😢
I love the effect... but I hate it at the same time lol
VERY!
The blinking eyes and added snowfall really impressed me, and your voice is clear, and you never mess up
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Judy - much appreciated :)
Fascinating. Thank you for the channel.
Yes, I agree. I enjoy his story telling voice. The accent gives it a nice touch.
Great vid! I’d also recommend you check out the video Lemmino did on this topic too
Congats on finding the photos of the hikers and the scene. I haven’t seen another Dyatlov documentary with so much detail. Awesome
Many thanks for your very kind feedback Megan - Much appreciated :)
Very welcome. Thank you x
@@ObsoleteOddity here in the United States the Bigfoot researchers always try to say that Sasquatch or Bigfoot are mainly peaceful as long as you stay out of their areas where they are located! Not true at all! Research the disappearances in our national parks! I live in Louisiana and I work for a Billboard company so I travel back and forth between Louisiana Mississippi and Arkansas and Texas! I do my own research on the creatures and the Sasquatch up north are very different from the Southern Bigfoot! The ones here in Louisiana are very aggressive and you don't want to run across one by yourself! Another thing is that if you see one I guarantee you that there are at least one or two more creatures hiding and circling your position! I was run out of the Atchafalaya Basin by at least two of the creatures! They basically made enough noise to let me know that they were not happy that I was there and I had my 8 year old grandson with me so I made sure I got out of the woods as fast as possible! The 2 creatures followed me breaking trees and grunting and very heavy breathing and even a couple of growls! My daughter bought a house on a new road and only a couple of houses far away from her! This is supposed to become a new neighborhood! At the end of her street and across from her home are woods and Swamp! My grandson and myself were in the woods at the end of the street! My daughter had called me one day because she was walking in the woods with her children and she came across a 18 inch smeared foot prints with four toes! So she called me to come out there and take a look! I always carry my 44 magnum pistol! I had been there a few times before the incident happened with my grandson and myself! That day we were run out of the woods I made sure that I had my Pistol in my hand while we were exiting the woods! I've heard many times that the creatures know what guns are and I figure that's the only reason why the creatures didn't get any closer to us! I never saw them but I could hear them walking and following us! Btw there are no bears in this area! The biggest creatures living back there are wild hogs and deer! I know the sounds that those animal's make and the grunting and growling and the breathing were not any of those animals!!!! The Yeti is considered to be a lot more aggressive than it's American cousins but I think that depends on where you have a encounter! Hopefully one day we will have the concrete proof that we need to put this myth to rest and hopefully one day we will have the body of one in a museum somewhere that we can all visit!!!!
@@williamoleschoolarendt7016 Incredible! Thanks for sharing that. There must be something to all this, there are too many accounts and too many people going missing in national parks.
Very well done you did great
I almost froze to death and believe it or not, when you start to feel extremely cold and then you start to feel warm, I almost laid down in the snow but I knew if I did I would die . I was 12 years old and this is the first time I have spoken about it, I am now in my 70's. Thank you for letting talk about my experience. I love your stories that explain many details of our history . Bless
I really appreciate your positive feedback - thank you very much :)
Glad you survived!
Thank you for caring, if I would have known the horrible life that I would have I would have laid down in the snow , again thank you Bless .
This is so true.
One very snowy + freezing cold November, windchill of -20F (-29°C), I was deer hunting.
My eye lashes had icicles!
Thought to myself, this is so not worth it. As I started back towards cabin, I tripped and fell over a log. I was tired, no longer cold, and did not want to get back up. So, thought, I'm just going to rest here a few minutes.
As I laid on the snow, I was so calm and closed my eyes.
Then I heard by brother in law call out in a panicky voice. He just happened to return to cabin and was going back out to hunt til dusk with the others. Had he not seen and woke me, I likely would not be commenting now.
Strange how hypothermia 'warms' your body.
Joan, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I still remember the warmth I felt on that day when I was 12 years old , I am now in my 70's. It just wasn't our time, your brother inlaw was your angel on that day Bless him. I smile when I think of the warmth I felt. Again thank you for sharing Valerie
I love how courteous you are to your American viewers, putting in the extra time and effort to convert celsius into fahrenheit, not many other people would be nice enough to do that. You are a rare gentleman! (^_^)
@Omara Oliver No. My hubby has a crush on Christina Hendricks, and says that I look just like her. This just happens to be my favorite photo of her because she isn't afraid to show off her full figure. She's bold AF and I admire her for that.
@Omara Oliver =
teiyialachey Oddie is always special that way. He is one of those rare true gentlemen left in the world. It is always such a delight to listen to his historical pieces because he affords the victims dignity, and makes the focus more on them than the perpetrators. I also really like that he keeps the trolls off the comment section, allowing us to hold interesting and involved discussions in a safe place...no politics, no bullying, and respect for each other. I almost never commented until finding Oddie Beau...now I have a hard time shutting up...laughing.🖤🇨🇦
Exactly....I noticed as well!!
Facts!
Wow, Mr. Yudin likely had the worst case of survivor's guilt, though clearly he wasn't meant to go with them. This is such a tragic and haunting story. You did an excellent job of bringing life to their photos. A great reminder of how alive they were. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback Laurie - much appreciated :)
Yuri probably was amazed, you know it affected him the rest of his life! Can you imagine?
About two years ago I saw an updated special on this story, I believe it was on National Geographic. A man who was on his deathbed was on the show, and with only days to live at the most, he revealed a lot of unknown information. He was one of the very first people in the first group of the search party to get there. He said that they were all informed that if anything they saw, heard, witnessed or experienced was repeated, "they would be dealt with". Incredibly, he said that the military HAD already been there, but then flew in, in helicopters as though they were just getting there, and there were so many footprints in the snow it was ridiculous! One interesting thing that he said was that the military was VERY paranoid and constantly watching the wood line as though they were terrified of something, he did say that was why the investigation was cut so short: some Soviet soldiers were actually defying direct Soviet commands: in other words they would rather be killed by their government than whatever they thought was in those woods. But the most damning thing he said was that when he had been younger, during WWII, for a short time he had worked for the KGB. He said when he was inspecting near the tent, it was obvious that the bodies had been tampered with and repositioned, but at one point he looked down and saw something that made his blood run cold. Next to one of the bodies was (I could be wrong about the actual object, but the facts around it are factual) a KGB issued cold weather boot cover for the extreme cold. He grabbed it and put it in his pocket. In the interview he showed it to the camera, and it was indeed confirmed to be authentic to that time. Another thing left out is that the head of the party did indeed get into a heated discussion with a group of the Manzi tribe; the Manzi were warning them that if they got to their destination; they would not live! The Manzi had nothing to do with the incident, they wouldn't step foot on that ground... until they began to realize they were wrongfully becoming suspects. On a sad note, many of them were tortured by the Soviets to get information and of course got none because they were innocent. But they obviously knew something! Great video, I am not saying your video was wrong, just filling in a few blanks. No disrespect intended my very good friend. As always, keep up the "odd" work!
If you can find a link to this interview id greatly be appreciative. I heard about the felt boot but Yudins claim of it disappearing now makes more sense. I am truly thankful for stumbling upon your comment. If you haven't heard of dyatlovpass.com it's an amazing item to look into.
Your comment is very interesting, and I would love, like everyone, what happened.
MARSOC 5th Pltn Tier1 Tier2 /this is so informative and interesting, thank you for this insight.
🤔. Now I’m not saying this DIDN’T happen to him. The soviets were/are an extremely secretive lot, and sometimes they don’t even know why, I’m guessing. But....LOTS of people give false deathbed confessions, for some reason. Fake Billy the Kid and John Wilkes Booth are two that come immediately to mind🤷♀️. I’m sure there’s many, many more. People take deathbed “confessions” as gospel, for some reason. Just sayin’.
MARSOC 5th Pltn Tier1 Tier2 It was named Dead mountain or pass by the Manzi because nothing would grow there. No other reason.
Who else is binge watching ObsoleteOddity videos?
I am 😂.
I only came across his channel by accident and decided to have a look and now I'm hooked. I watch/listen to at least 5 a night when I'm in bed.
The only problem is I'm catching up which means soon I'll have to wait for another video and I hate waiting 😂 He's brilliant.
Myself
The story's are so mysterious perhaps I've got a loose screw haha
Right here, Binge Binge Binge!
@@annas-g166 same here!
Me. I've been on it for 3 days now. He's such a great narrator.
I'm a retired combat veteran, and I've seen and heard some pretty messed up things in my life. One thing I think I've always kind of prided myself on is my lack of fear in situations that most others would be petrified in. I currently live in the Philippines and because of how hot it gets, it's common for us to pull the curtains open and leave the front door open (almost all doors here are screened) so that cooler air, should there be any, can come in and circulate... Keep in mind this is an extremely safe neighborhood, and there have been zero incidents of any kind, be it petty crime, or the like. You my friend have done something with this video that has me completely shaken. I've drawn my curtains closed, closed the door and dead bolted it, and you've made me paranoid to the point that I won't turn my back to the door. You sir, are brilliant. Job very very well done. I had heard of Dyatlov Pass before, but never researched it at all. I'm proud to say this is the very first thing I've ever watched on it, and man alive, you have me terrified. So much for sleep.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback my friend, that's a great compliment - much appreciated :)
Can't wait to start binging your videos. Excellent work, thank you for quality content
Never trust super safe neighborhoods with no violence, because nothing ever happens . . . until it does. I remember there was one city in Florida that was declared the safest city in the country, and then a massive school shooting happened a couple of days after that (it may have been the next day).
I was 9 years old when this occurred, and I recall listening to the adults discussing the little information that was allowed out to the world press. I remember the most prevalent thoughts among my Grandparents and their formerly Russian neighbours centred on the Cold War, which was definitely being waged at the time. They thought the military was testing new weapons in the isolated area, and the hikers were collateral damage or intentional Guinean pigs. Both America and the USSR were doing experiments with sound waves and their potential as weapons...much like ultrasound is now used to drive rodents from a house. There was thought that there was a specific low tone that could disrupt the internal organs. Both countries were also testing in air detonations of different bomb types...both nuclear and conventional, there was talk of hydrogen bombs and a neutron bomb that would kill living organisms but not destroy buildings...they wanted to see the damage levels from arial detonation at various heights above ground. I’m sure that a bomb detonating over your tent might lead to panic...I know I would be wanting better protection than an already compromised tent.
I do not recall any discussions of a Yeti or Bigfoot...they seemed pretty sure it was military, and they could easily have tried to trigger and control an infrasound weapon under development...there were a LOT of strange weapon concepts under Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev...including ESP and other metaphysical techniques, (my Gran was very interested in these studies).
A lot of the information and photos we have today were suppressed at the time either for security reasons or to avoid an international embarrassment to the USSR through the unexplained deaths of 9 experienced mountain hikers in their territory. From the little that was released, it appeared to be death by misadventure, and Khrushchev closed the investigation rather abruptly citing a “compelling natural force”. My Granther and the neighbour man didn’t buy the official story for a minute, and would have very animated discussions while I quietly eavesdropped from behind Granther’s chair until caught by Gran and sent off to bed.
It is because of those overheard conversations...lubricated with vodka (Granther and the Neighbour man...not me!), that this particular case has stuck with me, and still draws me into speculation as access is granted to some of the more primary sources...the group diary, and the investigation files...(at least select ones) they closed the investigation after only a month with no clear cause assigned. This Historical case by you Oddie has brought it back into my curiosity zone again, so if I should discover anything really interesting I will let you know. Once more into the breach!...I do love a challenge.🖤🇨🇦
Thanks so much for sharing that!!
Liza Tanzawa You are very welcome, I think this was actually my first real mystery I had some experience of, and was able to understand the differing views of the adults. I was always listening and trying to figure out what they were talking about...but this case seems to be where it began to make sense to me. I guess that is why I always seem to return to it every now and then, and ease out another bit of the real narrative.🖤🇨🇦
Miss Tamarra ~ Thank you for sharing. I was 7 and remember my Dad and Great Uncle talking about this. 🤗
Connie Pratt It was fun listening to the adults when they forgot you were there wasn’t it? I still remember specific comments, or a joke they might tell that was inappropriate when I repeated it...laughing as I remember and glad you have those same memories of your own.🖤🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing
The way you made the faces of the photos move! Amazing! You're videos are always so well done! 👍🏻
How can you even do that? It looks quiet spooky.
No no don't encourage him! I am 49 years old I'm just on the cusp of senility, I don't need blinking photos to push me over the edge! COL! 😆
That was creepy
@@ArcadiaOccult - lol
@@wvrjl 😀
The photos with the blinking eyes, etc. were really something. It brought them to life instead of just being old photos. Thanks so much! And thank you for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit!
Dear Sir you have a GIFT!!! This is by far the best presentation of this incident I’ve ever seen and I’ve been obsessed with this case for about five years. Especially the way that you animated those photographs of the victims, it’s as though for a moment you brought them back to life. How beautiful. Brilliant!!! Thank you so very much...
Thanks for the very kind feedback Christel, much appreciated :)
I love how "Obsolete Oddity" is almost always cleverly placed in your presentations, Oddie!
It has now become my mission to always seek it out!
Thank you so much for your intriguing work! 🌻
Thanks for your kind feedback Patti - very much appreciated :)
it's like an "easter egg", something hidden for viewers to find. So clever!
I love it too. Adds a very subtle bit of humor to some gruesome stuff.
I have seen a number of recent videos regarding this incident. Yours has been the best thus far. Much easier to follow and a great presentation of the facts as known. Thanks so much, Oddie for another Saturday morning well spent!
That's very kind of you Lawrence, much appreciated.
I agree, Lawrence ;)
I absolutely adore what you did with the pictures. I haven't seen something like that on any other channel although this story is haunting so many TH-camrs. Keep up the fantastic work! Believe me when I say, your work is absolutely unique and very appreciated:)
Thank you so much for your kind feedback - very much appreciated :)
@Wubba Wubba - That's exactly how I feel. Especially, when the people blink, and move their mouths, etc. It is so creepy, but it's like you're watching video of them, staring right at us.
The Vincent Price of TH-cam! That’s a compliment btw......👍🏻🌸
Fabulous comment! You're absolutely right -- this gentleman's voice evokes the unique talents of Vincent Price. Particularly this man's exquisite diction and perfectly paced delivery. It's SO refreshing hearing a good story (especially this one!) unfold naturally -- as opposed to current media belief that speedy-mumbly speakers using tones of panic will grab reader's attention. (I think not!)
I never got notifications of your comments. Thank you so much for your wonderful replies. I agree, SwimSwede. There’s nothing like the wonderful, rich voice, with a perfect delivery. Thank you for the heart, KoolGrannie Nance. 🌹
Aptly put. Well done.
Very tragic, sad, mysterious & fascinating story. Really makes one wonder what actually happened. I appreciate the way you always go the extra mile for your viewers. Great job, Oddie!
I really appreciate that. Thank you :)
I have had a long held interest in the 'Dyatlov Incident' and have read or viewed most of the material available on it. Your summary of teh story was excellent and obviously well researched. Some of the images you showed I haven't seen before and you obviously dug deeper to find images from other trips that Dyatlov and his colleaugues had done. Much of the Russian military record of involvement still remains top secret (which in itself is strange) however recently some was released including diary records from one of the expeditioners suggesting they were being 'stalked' or followed in the 24 hours prior to the event, even to the point that on the fateful night they camped 800m out of the forest tree line to minimise the forest cover a stalker might use. I understand the Russian military files also admit they were there on the site shortly after the incident occurred (same night) which is also supported by the fact some odd pieces of military kit (a gater) was found in the tent which in 1959 would have been unatainable by civilians. The Karman Vortex theory sounds very interesting and should be explored some more in light of the recently available records perhaps. Thank you for a first class film clip
Thanks for your very kind feedback Jonathan - much appreciated! 🎩
Thank you for the information
@@muratkartal6567 A gaiter is a covering worn over the boot and lower pants leg. It helps to protect the lower leg when hiking, particularly in rough or wintry conditions. During that time they were standard military issue. Hope that helps.
Thank you for mentioning the fact they set up camp in such a peculiar location. While it could be due the fact they were exhausted, experiencing extremely bad weather, and couldn't hike another mile on those conditions....It's still an odd choice for experienced hikers to chose that location.
Besides the reasons I mentioned, it's possible they chose that location to survey their surroundings and thats why they slit a hole on the tent.
@@pennieplatinum2767 It does! Thank you.
Ahhh yes, one of my favorite narrators covers one of my favorite mysteries! Masterfully done. I, too, believe in the infrasound theory; it explains their quick escape from the tent and the distance they traveled to get away, as well as why all nine of them were affected seemingly at once. Occam’s razor explains most of their injuries as well. Amazing job Oddie.
No one wants to say it!!! It was deafinatly UFO that did this, how do you explain rediation, and missing skin, tongue, and eyes ,broken ribs as if they where thrown from a high distance.
Missing skin, eyes, tongue: scavenging animals and putrefaction. The four in the ravine suffered crush injuries from falling from great height...because they couldn’t see the ravine in the dark and fell into it. The simplest answer is usually the right one.
I always feel overwhelmingly sad when I read or hear about this story. I can only imagine how excited and happy they all were to be going on this hiking trip together, all of them so young and full of life. For it to end so tragically and violently is just so heartbreaking!
It's a fascinating mystery and I KNOW there is more to the story. It would have been AND was so easy for them to twist and manipulate the "facts" to be whatever they wanted them to be.
Thanks for doing this story.....
*Hear! Hear!* 💦💔💦
I have heard this story many times and it is still so baffling, yours is the best telling and has the most compelling explanation, so long ago, and yet so sad and unimaginable what these poor people must have suffered through....and as we are learning in this century infrasound is very real and can be used as a very scary weapon as well, I am with you Oddie this is a very plausible explanation.
Cannot believe ya got actual photos included here in your video, many others don’t. But your presentation craftsmanship, and unique, breathtaking editing skills are beyond words! Thank you!
Many thanks for your very kind feedback Stacy - Much appreciated :)
I only wish he (and other vid creators) had included on the photos THE NAMES of those shown on them ! This is something that all the Dyatlov videos lack, unfortunately.
The thunder and lightning strikes close to the end scared me....oh my goodness. Another Great video Oddie.
I love listening to you just chit chat at the end of videos, so calming to listen to you speak. You really do have the perfect narrator voice, haha.
I am always multitasking when I am online. I love the soothing tone of his voice.
Right, I need that soothing chit chat after he thoroughly creeps me out!
Very well done!!! The faces in the pictures moving were the best I have EVER seen!!! Thank you!!!
Your editing skills are superb, your narration is well-paced and I like the pauses during the video itself.. it gives the viewer time to really take in information.. great job overall! Keep it up Oddie!
Thank you for your very kind feedback Caroline - Much appreciated :)
Pictures and videos are amazing, they bring the departed to life again to never be forgotten by sight,
I love that you make the pictures blink. I really, really hope that's the future of police sketches.
These visuals are gorgeous.
I enjoy your videos very much, which is why I am a subscriber and have notifications on for your videos. The pictures and narration were excellent; it kept my attention throughout the video. You have a flair for this kind of storytelling, thanks for sharing!!
So absolutely thrilled you've done this !!! I am watching as I write !!!! (more when I finish watching) !!
That was really interesting ! I had seen quite a few things on it in the past and was really excited for the new information about the tent. . . . can't wait to read that. . .
Great job by your researcher, very thorough and informative. . . . many thanks to both of you !!
This whole event, is so strange. had to be terrifying.
This is heartbreaking! God bless their souls.
Thanks for keeping their memories alive, Oddie.
I know I say this every time but I absolutely LOVE your videos. They are all so well done. You put so much effort and time into them (which is very rare on youtube). I still can’t understand how you don’t have millions of subscribers. I truly appreciate your hard-work. Also, loved the bloopers haha :D You sound like a very kind person :)
Thank you for your very kind feedback my friend - Much appreciated :)
SPLENDID MYSTERY!! Wow Oddie this story was fabulous! I'm totally stumped about the cause of this tragedy. My only thought was alien attack which is "out there". These hikers died horrifically. It seems as tho we will never know what happened. A sad story. Kudos to you and your Patreon supporter!
Thanks dear heart for scaring the living hell out of me, LOL! Not being able to see the lightning strikes coming the sound scared me half to death. And listening to it with earbuds just made it more intense. Anyway, got a better perspective of the story and I have no theory to go on. Whatever happened to these folks had to be so horribly bad that they would put themselves at risk. Just another story to add to many stories that we will never get the answers to. Thank you so much for posting the video. Everyone take care, take it easy and be safe
PS your blooper were absolutely adorable
Cheers! :)
Wow this is such a chilling story! I also think some kind of mass confusion and panic plagued the group! Its so sad either way, such beautiful minds wasted!! Great job thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it - Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback 😊
It's a dark and rainy morning here in Austin, TX and this is perfect for a Saturday like this one. It's hurricane season here so we can expect this kind of weather off and on for at least another month. I'm glad I've got Oddie here to calm me after a long week of classes! Thanks, bro!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate the production quality as always. Glad to be a patron of the channel.

I enjoy the manner in which you tell stories. Please, keep it up.
Hello!! Infrasound sounds best of all the theories to me as well, was very interesting and intriguing can’t imagine their fear what a horrible way to die nonetheless. I think infrasound is most logical. Thanks loved it and loved your bloopers ❤️👍
One of my favorite mysteries! well done. I love the pix's and animations
I really appreciate that. Thank you :)

Thank you so much Chris!
Great feedback and very encouraging - bless you :)
ObsoleteOddity No problem!! Good work should be recognized! As mysterious and strange as this event is, it boils down to 9 human beings who had their whole lives ahead of them dying horrifically. I wish there was an answer. Keep up the good work my friend!
You do a fantastic job of bringing faces to life!
I think the Russian Government knows exactly what happened to these poor kids. Sadly the world will never know what Really Happened it'll be a Russian secret forever.
And if there was tracks they had been covered up maybe a helicopter was involved how other way there was no other foot prints well I seen these type of things in movies anything is possible indeed evil is in this world
It maybe a "Soviet secret." The Soviet Union used to keep bad news to a minimum. Their propaganda machine maintained the illusion that they were the perfect utopia.
No poor kids they where KGB agents
i think the government is connected to this. the government has so much power that they can shut down any case and or deny anything that they are involve in. theyre dirty and hide so much and they dont give a shit bout their own people like these young students. they found radiation everywhere and that right there is a given. radiation is connected to aliens and aliens are connected to the government. so therefore they all must be working or doing some testings. so these kids prolly unknowingly mustv maybe stepped into their own fence and went ahead kill them. look up phil shneider he will tell u the truth on the government and aliens. this case will never be solved why? becus its governmental shit.
There is no mystery honestly - Dyatlov wasn't experienced enough, so the group set the camp in the wrong place, when the snow storm began snow started to fall on the roof of a tent and eventually the tent fell with the snow and injured a few students with its weight, the group had to move back fast but it was too cold and there weren't enough people to carry the injured, they had to split up - some stayed with the injured and some kept going to get help, but eventually decided to make fire and rest, fell asleep and died of the cold and tireless (it explains why they had some burns). The postmortem injures (missing eyes etc) were made by birds and other animals.
(There is a good video with the reconstruction of this event made by experienced ski hiker; it's among the popular videos (it's called Перевал Дятлова. Тайна раскрыта or smth like that, it's in Russian but you can try using subtitlesand translate them into english).
The government here is not the best one but in this case it has nothing to do with anything.
Just an accident really.
You put this together wonderfully! Thanks, so much information! You're the best!💙
Well said. It's not only his artistry but his respect and empathy for the subject matter and human equation.
@@celialovett5880 Thank you 😊 Oddie really brings victims to life.... My thoughts is so they are never forgotten.
LUVED this, thank you! This was my introduction to this story and what an introduction it was! The eyes were soooooo wonderfully creepy and at the same time intensely humanizing. It can be easy to forget with these stories that these were real people with hopes and dreams and people who loved them dearly. I will never forget this video and how this story captured so much emotion. I really appreciate it!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Lisa - much appreciated.
I think you did the best job EVER at pronunciation, and is one of my favorite Obsolete Oddities. I'll be creeped out for days!
I really appreciate that. Thank you :)
Wonderful as always, your voice makes me feel as if I had been there, many thanks!! BiBi from Buenos Aires, Argentina😄
Just found this channel... this is my favorite one so far. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I love how you bring their pictures to life.
I don t know how i could have missed this one!! You are truly a master at storytelling . Please do keep it up !
This channel is very good with so many fascinating stories!!! I have been interested about this particular case of the missing 9 hikers in 1959 but after all these years many important tracks have disappeared and I am afraid this will be forever unsolved although I do have my own theories !!!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Maria - much appreciated :)
I'm absolutely loving your channel. Thank you for the amazing content. Love from Australia xx
Thank you so much!!
I’ve always been intrigued by this story, and to have you read it to me is the icing on the cake that makes my weekend complete!
Great video, thanks
Wow! What a great video! What a way to tell such a terrifying story! The way you made those old pictures come alive by manipulating the eyes and mouths was fantastic! Congratulation on your work!!! I love the way you detail everything and the additional footage that gives us a better understanding of the situation. If I had to choose one of those theories I'd go with the alien attack.
Thanks so much for your very kind feedback Ivone - much appreciated :)
You are very welcome!
I just finished watching this..alone..at night. I jumped out of my skin when those two lightening strikes hit! An excellent telling of such a sad, disturbing, scary story. Kudos to you Oddie and Sara.
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback!
Another sensational video! Perfect pace, wonderful use of the sad & poignant photos. The gentle music was so appropriate. Such an intriguing story.......
Thank you for your kind feedback - very much appreciated :)
This was a great treat . It's cold in Durban and it fitted the theme of this video . Brilliantly done Oddie and Sara . With regards to theories we must remember that this was the Soviet union and many cases were covered up . Access to information was controlled by the party leadership. Like you I find it difficult to understand how they could ascertain which footprints belonged to the hikers . I also find it strange how they could be so sure of the time of the deaths since the bodies were discovered at least three weeks later in a cold climate . The fact that there was an attempt to build a fire outside of the tent prices that something or someone scared them enough not to want to return . We may never know .
Hope you enjoyed your holiday Oddie .... hmmmm did you say red light district video ?
I like your insights Lewellyn - I also wonder about the investigation, something about the way it's quickly explained way and covered up, troubles me. The condition of the tent and their inadequate clothing, suggests sheer terror.
Thank you for your very kind feedback my friend.
Fantastic job as usual. I really like your choice of music for this video; instead of going with something creepy or eerie, it's just a little bit sad. It also creates the feeling of wind, even when you haven't added actual wind sound.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Brian - very much appreciated :)
This is just the craziest story I've ever heard! You did such an incredible job with the story thank you! I've heard about it before however, you explained it with such great detail.. not to mention the photographs were incredible!
I can't imagine what those poor nine people went through that night!!!! Literally must have been hell on Earth.
Thank you so much!
I have watched many a video on this incident and come away none the wiser. Fortunately the narrator on this video has gone above and beyond. Excellent job well researched and thank you very much for your work.......
Thanks for your very kind feedback Cathal - much appreciated! 🎩
@@ObsoleteOddity your welcome.
Sometimes I don't get notified about some of your videos, which I love, and they pop up months later in my feed. That was the case with this video which I just viewed. May I also add, your voice is absolutely marvelous. Anyway, congratulations. I've seen many videos which have detailed this event and the strange occurrences, but this video was by far the best. I questioned whether I wanted to hear and watch yet another retelling of this event, but I am so glad I did. The extra effects with the old photos just put it over the top. Thanks for all you do! Love you! Janet
Thanks for your very kind feedback Janet - very much appreciated :)
I’ve been interested in this story for many years now. Many thanks to you sir for the upload. Subscribed!!
🇺🇸Grandpa🇺🇸
This true story still haunts me. I can't wait to hear your spin on it. You're my favorite story teller.
I enjoy your channel immensely , thank you.
I have heard of this case on other channel but I most say you did a excellent job of reviewing the case. I wasn’t even aware of all those theories. You made this case more realistic! Thank you so much 😊
Thanks very much for your kind feedback Abby, great compliment 😊 much appreciated!
You bastard. That lightning strike got me. Fantastic job on the video, the moving pictures were extra spooky. Cheers!
:) Thank you very much for your positive feedback Jacob - much appreciated
@@ObsoleteOddity no problem! looking forward to more of your content.
I could forever listen to your voice
This story is crazy and sad. The only reason they would flee the tent is if their death was imminent. After watching your episode I read up on this case and watched a few more documentaries. Even though Russia finally released information about this case in 90s I am certain some of their findings will never be released to the public. This story is baffling. If I added all my theories about what happened my comment would turn into a book. I wish I could chat with you or someone interested in this case, somone with theories their own. This was another great episode... well done!
What an absolute joy to see you & your historical stories !!! I have missed you and your fascinating stories !!! As I've mentioned before your graphics are superb !!! In closing I love listening to your soothing voice, and would like to become a member of patreon...Bravo to all the time and hard work you put into for our pleasure 😊
Thanks for your very kind feedback Martha - much appreciated :)
Love your stories. You dig deep for information, documents, original pictures of the victim’s bodies. Others may not have shown us the pictures. Adds to the interest of the story. Good work.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your very kind feedback Lisa, much appreciated :)
Dyatlov pass mystery is a fascinating story. This video was very well done! The information was presented so completely. I have read. Other articles/watched videos on this case. This was the best presentation ever. The list of possible causes is the most complete I have seen. Norma Jean Morrissey
Awesome, thank you Norma Jean!
The one thing i know for certain - you will never, ever know the truth of any event that occurred in the Soviet Union.
Can you explain why? I've heard this a couple times
@@showtime516 The soviet union wasn’t too open with information. They would often tamper with statistics to make their country seem safer, and many crimes and mysterious events were covered up.
@@showtime516 Most communist countries will relase only information that shows them in a favourable light, and tend to be happy to shoot any whistle blowers. Cherbobyl is a perfect example
@@privateplaylistyoutubeacco6190oh ok got it. Thanks
@@eveforsyth6727 Wow, so anything big that happens gets swept under the rug smh
Hope you have an excellent weekend, Oddie!
Hey Oddie, I read about this bizarre story several months ago and it certainly is baffling. The abscence of strangers' footprints rulls out any interference by "others". The intrasound theory does seem the most plausible, imo. But what could have ripped out eys and
and tongue?
I need to become a pledgee still. Thanks for uploading the one.
dk albright it did take a while for all of their bodies to be collected. Maybe some animal got to them first
@@sissysovereign1294 thanks, I hadn't thought of that!
Excellent re-telling of this tragic incident. It has always fascinated me. Seeing the faces of those young people moving was a special and lovely touch. You really are good at what you do Mr Oddie, and long may you continue doing it!
Sorry for the late reply, I've been away on a road trip.Thank you very much for your kind feedback - much appreciated!
This is by far my favorite of your videos. Keep up the awesome work!
I really appreciate your positive feedback - thank you very much :)
Out of all the different channels that have covered thiz story....this one is the only one where I've learned and heard parts about what happened that fateful night!!! The events that led up to it and the pictures!!! None were az informative as this !!! I truly enjoyed it and ended up watching it twice so I made sure not to miss anything! Thanks for ALWAYS bringing the best content!!!! I can't believe as long as I've been a subscriber that TODAY is when I finally came across this video!! Being that its from 2018 and I follow you religiously!! I don't know how i missed it before! But am very glad that I have gotten to see it!! Keep up the AWESOME work Oddie!!
❤1 of your #1 fans!😎😘
Thank you so much for
reaching out with your lovely message Ruthy. Such
wonderful feedback makes the time and effort well worthwhile.
Bless you for that
Best regards
Oddie
Really excellent presentation beats all the other attempts on TV to tell this story. Wonderful atmospheric imagery.
Many thanks for your great compliment Glenn - Much appreciated :)
Luv how u broke down everythin! Lol! I was doin the theories that i thought out loud and and then U started listin them! That was awesome and funny at that same time! U and Sara did good! Cheers to both of ya! Thanks for all Ur hard work for all Ur videos!!
A very detailed, well explained and thought provoking program. Thank you. It really is frustrating not to be able to close this case.
I really feel for the family members. My condolences. I wish you peace of mind, and rest in Heaven to your loved ones.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Marcelle, much appreciated :)
I'm literally bingeing on your narrated videos and this has to be the most haunting story I've listened to! I'm hooked! Regards from the Philippines
Thanks very much Joanna for your very kind feedback. Much appreciated :)
I love your historical features!
There was a movie made, based on the hikers in the Ural mtns. 5 American students flew to Russia to investigate the mystery of what happened 2 those hikers, only to meet an unfortunate fate of their own. Thanks 4 bringing this 2 us. I've always been interested in the story & what exactly happened 2 them. It teaches us to have a healthy respect 4 certain things.
Lastly, thanks 4 differentiating Celsius to farenheit!👍👍💯
Exceptional quality videos as always, thank you Oddie and thank you so much Sara for all your hard work and effort. No matter how annoying some of these commercials are (I mute some of them) or how much I anticipate in a hurry and watch your videos, I always make sure to never touch the skip button and allow it to play out to your video because it is the commercials how Oddie's channel gets paid by TH-cam. And thank you for letting us know in a past video because I had no idea and it is just a free gesture on the part of your fans to be able to do that in the very least aside from watching the uncensored videos on Patreon and your cool merchandise.
My middle name Niuryth (I go by Nina) was named after a close family friend who is Russian and lived near that area until the 1970's that she came to US.
Without detail to avoid possible political talk, it was military testing and that is why everything was done with mistakes on purpose. No matter how many investigations are done, the government wants this and things of this nature to be kept at their discretion, with no exceptions. As most know, that has always been their form of MO, and even more so during those years.
Thank you for your very kind feedback and for showing your support Patricia - Much appreciated :)
ObsoleteOddity My pleasure always, and as well it also came to me, there are times I am in the middle of doing a task that has most of my attention, and will have TH-cam on pause if I am not listening to music and I sometimes I'll just replay your videos to hear your soothing voice on back round and take the occasional glance until I replay and watch your videos again, because they are that good.
The point of this comment sorry for the ramble,,
A suggestion only:
To your loyal fans who could contribute in a way that cost nothing but a free gesture of a few moments of time, is to also play Oddette's videos even if they might not want to listen what they don't understand, but play them to help her very new channel as it could also boost revenue which would only help Oddie to do what he does as every bit helps. Maybe you could mention this in your next video which I look forward to seeing from your holiday in France.
Blessings, Love and Light Sent to You and Odette.
I have been fascinated by the Dyatlov Pass tragedy and mystery for years. You have done one of the best and most informative presentations about the events and theories surrounding it that I have seen. Well done you!
I have come to believe that Yeti do exist: not as some supernatural beings, but rather a species of which we have only had glimpses over the decades. After all, gorillas were considered to be mythical creatures by the west until the mid-1800s. I think that the Yeti fall into a similar category and like gorillas, we will one day know much more about them.
That having been said, I’ve read that the Mansai people have said for years that the part of the Dead Mountain where the unfortunate hikers set up their camp was inhabited by the Yeti who were not known for their welcoming nature. I also read that a note was found that said, “Now we know the Snowmen are real.” ( Snowmen being one name for Yeti). Yeti are notorious for their ability to erase their tracks, which is why so few have been photographed. If Yeti attacked the hikers’ tents from the outside or if the terrified young people saw them approaching and hurriedly cut their way out from the inside, it would explain why seasoned skiers would rush into freezing temperatures half-dressed. Also, it would account for the crushed parts of some
Thank you for your very kind feedback and insights Joyce, much appreciated.
I really love how you use that animation with the subject's portraits. It brings them into the present, giving them life and relatability. Thank you for your respectful (and creepy) recounting of these various events. Its fascinating!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Starla - very much appreciated :)
Great telling of this mystery. Loved the living snapshots. I think some sort of mass psychotic/hysterical episode occurred; like the wind phenomenon or some chemical agent: mushrooms or ergotamine from mouldy bread?
Thanks again for a great video.
