11. The Poor Campers Snapped a Picture Before Their Haunting Fate
In 1959, a group of polytechnic students in Russia went off on a trip and stopped for the night in a particularly treacherous area. The students’ families realized that something was wrong when they did not make contact as intended. So, they sent out a rescue team to try to find them. This photo is of the rescue team uncovering the students’ tent, which they abandoned. Two bodies were a mile away, but there was no indication of what actually happened to the students. Their fate became one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century.
