Tourists Reported Missing At Infamous Dyatlov Pass

It was reported on February 10th that eight tourists from Moscow have failed to return from their visit to the infamous Dyatlov Pass a part of the Ural Mountain region. The tourists were said to have gone to the region to pay their respects to the group of nine college students who died under mysterious circumstances in February 1959 that sparked many theories as to what caused their deaths. The vanishing of the tourists comes a month after scientists believed to have solved the mystery and concluded that the students and experienced hikers were victims of a slab avalanche that was caused by the students cutting into the snow on a side of a hill that eventually, due to winds and snowfall, gave way and slid onto the tent catching the students by surprise and causing (internal) trauma to some of them that eventually proved fatal, and causing them to become stranded in freezing temperatures that ultimately took their lives.

‘The Medium’ Is The Psychic Noir Horror You Didn’t Know You Needed

A big thank you to the hardworking folks at Bloober Team who came in clutch at the last minute to make this review possible, this game almost flew under the radar for me and I’m glad it didn’t!

The Medium takes place in 1999 in Poland and players play as Marianne, a woman who has the gift of being a medium, someone who can communicate with spirits of the dead as well as those from the spirit world which she can travel to. Marianne is called by a mysterious man to go Niwa Workers’ Resort, an abandoned Soviet-era resort. Once Marianne enters the grounds of the resort, it becomes clear to her that something VERY wrong happened there. Now onto the game itself!

The infamous Borden house in Fall River Massachusetts has been placed on the housing market! The historical site and Bed and Breakfast could be yours for a head-splitting (pun intended) two million dollars to own and operate according to the macabre realtor listing.
