Dark Adaptation Podcast explores all things macabre, mysterious, and downright dark. Join Brianna every Monday for a new episode full of intrigue, information, and entertainment!

For those more ”popular” cases that you thought you knew, we promise we’ll deliver so much information and intrigue you’re guaranteed to learn something new. And that’s not all - you’ll also experience a unique, cosmic twist from our special guest host, Steph, who delves into the charts and skies of those people and places we’ve heard of a million times.

In 1959, 9 people were hiking through the Ural Mountains in Russia. Night was approaching, so they pitched a tent and settled for the night. What happened next is debated, but what we know for sure is that during the night, all 9 of them fled the safety of their tent, into the snowy darkness, and perished in the freezing conditions. Some had succumbed to hypothermia, but others were found with gruesome injuries. These injuries, along with circumstances surrounding their deaths and the lack of answers, led to conspiracy theories that spanned from aliens to radiation fallout.
Join us for a DEEP DIVE into the tragic and compelling case of the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
In part 3, the final episode of the Dyatlov Pass series, we discuss the funerals of the hikers, the investigation and inquest into the hiker’s deaths, and some of the theories about what happened to Dyatlov Group that fateful night…

It was July 1916 in Czinkota, in the midst of WWI, and Béla Kiss’s landlord arrived at the property on Kossuth Street with a squad of soldiers. They were told by the village’s constable that the property had a stockpile of gasoline, which they desperately needed as Europe had a shortage.
The constable knew this because, before the war, people of the village had believed Kiss was stockpiling illicit alcohol so when the police came to question him, he told them that they were filled with gasoline because he expected it would be scarce.
Now there truly was a time when gasoline was scarce, and the property seemed like a goldmine. The landlord and soldiers found 7 large oil drums, but they had been soldered shut. They punctured one of the lids, and instead of smelling the sweet smell of gasoline, they were hit with a putrid odour. A neighbour, who was a chemist, confirmed that it was the scent of decomposition.
Béla Kiss's landlord quickly informed the police, who sent the detective chief of police to investigate. When the chief arrived with 2 of his men, they immediately opened the first drum.
What they found was horrific…
