Welcome to the Halloween Episode! In episode 91, we first take a dive into one of history's greatest adventure mysteries--The Dyatlov Pass Incident which has been unsolved for over 65 years! In the middle of winter in 1959, 9 experienced hikers disappeared in the Ural Mountains and died under mysterious circumstances. Theories range from avalanche to yeti attack to murder by the KGB. In 2019, Russia re-opened the case and may have come to a new conclusion...with a little inspiration from Disney's Frozen... Next up, KT takes us through a brief history of witches--From their connection to mythology and folklore to why we have certain archetypes and visualizations of witches and the mass witch trials and hysteria all across Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries ~~~~* Mentioned in the Episode: ⁠ ⁠Pictures of Slab Avalanche Theory⁠  ⁠Werewolf/Witch Trials ⁠ (Our previous episode number 90) ~~~~* The Socials and Patreon!
