Episode 04 - Dyatlov Pass Pt 1

We're staying in Russia this week as we share the events that led to the naming of this area in the Ural mountains. What should have been an exciting and fulfilling hike for this group instead turned into the tragic loss of nine young lives. Join us for part 1 as Desirae shares the circumstances leading up to their hike, and the disturbingly mysterious state of affairs that were found after the group failed to arrive at their intended destination.

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.

Episode 06 - We Are Who We Are

Who are we? Why are we here?? You've made it this far so we figure it's only fair that we share a little more about ourselves and what led us to become the spoopy sisters that we are today.

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.
