9 experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died brutally and mysteriously. The KGB investigated and initially thought the indigenous people were to blame. So they interrogated and tortured the local villagers, but decided they did not do it. The reported confrontation between the hikers and the villagers was the villagers warning them not to go to the Mountain of Death. They believe it was the Menk, a 3 meter hair-covered upright forest animal. It is named by many indigenous peoples peoples across the Urals different names, including Yeti.
