Somewhere in the Skies

On episode 138 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan is joined by Greg Newkirk and Connor J. Randall, members of the investigative team and executive producers of HELLIER an independent paranormal documentary series. They discuss the highly anticipated second season that digs deeper in to the mysteries surrounding Hellier and beyond.In 2012, Greg Newkirk received an email from a man calling himself David Christie, who claimed that he and his family were being terrorized by unearthly creatures by night. After exchanging emails, David disappeared. For the next five years, the case only got stranger, as more connections and mysterious emails came in. Then, in 2017, Greg and a team of researchers traveled to rural Kentucky, not knowing what they would uncover, or how deep they would discover the case might go.​But the Hellier project didn't stop there. Despite spending hundreds of hours in the editing bay and releasing season one to much acclaim in January of 2019, the team continued to research and explore, and the case only blossomed. After thousands of miles of driving, months of research and filming, Hellier now returns in November 2019 with a full second season run, comprised of ten full-length episodes.To learn more, visit: www.Hellier.tvPatreon: www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesYouTube Channel: CLICK HEREOfficial Store: CLICK HEREOrder Ryan's Book by CLICKING HERETwitter: @SomewhereSkiesInstagram: @SomewhereSkiesPodWatch Mysteries Decoded for free at www.CWseed.comOpening Theme Song, "Ephemeral Reign" by Per KiilstofteSOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES is part of the eOne podcast network.

On episode 135 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, we take a trip to Russia to bring you a story so mysterious and so tragic, that it remains one of the most controversial unsolved cases in history. On February 2nd, 1959, nine highly experienced members of the Ural Polytechnical Institute set off on a challenging trek through the Ural mountains with their leader, Igor Dyatlov. But something happened in the middle of the night that caused the group to rip their tent open from the inside and wander through the frozen tundra.Three weeks later, five bodies were found. After two months, the remaining bodies were also discovered. As tragic as this was, how each body was found, and several pieces of evidence that would be discovered, left many more questions than answers as to what happened and why. We break down the timeline, string of possible events, and numerous theories as to what may have happened to the Dyatlov nine that fateful night.This episode is dedicated to the memory of the Dyatlov crew, including Yuri Yudin, the only surviving member, who passed away in 2013.Voiceover Contributions by Conor J.
