Liam Le Guillou: An Unknown Compelling Force PT 1

About this episode

Filmmaker Liam Le Guillou discusses the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident in this two-part interview.

Filmmaker Liam Le Guillou was fascinated with the mystery surrounding the deaths of nine experienced Russian hikers in the Ural Mountains in 1959. Paul Holes and I talked about this case on Buried Bones, but Liam really, really dug into the mystery. He has his own opinion and he shares it in his documentary, An Unknown Compelling Force: The Dyatlov Pass Incident. We rarely do this, but we had to make this interview a two-parter.    Join my Patreon: patreon.com/kateandpaul Support this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link:  https://bit.ly/4gF2K18   See more information on my books: katewinklerdawson.com  Follow me on social: @tenfoldmore (Twitter) / @wickedwordspod (Facebook) / @tenfoldmorewicked (Instagram)  2026 All Rights Reserved  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
