The Khamar-Daban Incident
from Plastic Paddy Hosted by Steven Ellis
The Khamar-Daban Incident is a cinematic campfire-horror podcast that tells the true story of one of Siberia’s most chilling mysteries. In August 1993, seven hikers led by veteran instructor Lyudmila Korovina ventured into the Khamar-Daban mountains above Lake Baikal—only one returned alive. Blending documentary fact with haunting atmosphere, the series follows survivor Valentina Utochenko’s harrowing account and the investigation that compared the tragedy to the Dyatlov Pass deaths. Each chapter immerses listeners in the fog, wind, and unanswered questions of Buryatia’s wilderness, where science, superstition, and survival collide—and the mountain itself seems to breathe.
