   Episode 07 - Betty & Barney Hill

   This week, Desirae takes us through Franconia Notch in New Hampshire to learn about Betty & Barney Hill, and their out-of-this-world encounter from September 1961! We can't say exactly how we would react in a situation like this, but we have a feeling few could live up to the calm curiosity that Betty showed that night and in the weeks that followed.

    Episode 05 - Dyatlov Pass Pt 2

    Our continued examination of the Dyatlov Pass incident gives us a much closer look at each hiker's unique injuries and the various states that they were found in along the slopes of Kholat Syakhl. Every detail paints a better picture of the scene, but leaves us more puzzled than ever about why this group abandoned the safety of their tent for the deadly Russian snowscape around them.
