Some guy bought a set of the old Showbiz (an old pizza/arcade place) animatronics and has them play modern music that people request on his Youtube channel. They're still as creepy to me now as they were when I was a kid. I watched a few of the videos and lol'd hard at the sun's contribution to this song (1:36-1:41).
I suspect he also has anywhere from ten to twenty-seven people in his cellar.
I had that playing as I went up the page to hit the logo for a board index viewing and just managed to catch 20 or so seconds of the Fresh Prince cast dancing along in perfect harmony before the page changed.
Reading a list of deaths under strange circumstances because it's 3:30 am so what else would I do. Anyway, this one is weird
Quote
In February 1959, 10 ski hikers set out to climb Russia's mountain Kholat Syakhl (which ironically means "Mountain of the Dead." One was forced to turn back a day in due to illness. The other nine were never seen alive again.
Now, alright, you're probably thinking "People dying while climbing a mountain in Russia in the middle of winter? How is that strange?" Alright, killjoys, here's the weird stuff: when investigators found the mountaineers' camp site, it was in shambles, and the tent had been torn open FROM THE INSIDE. Footprints leading away from the site were left by people who were barefoot, wearing socks, or wearing only one shoe. The first two bodies found were beneath a large tree about a mile from the camp, dressed only in underwear. Three more bodies were discovered at varying distance between the tree and the camp, and appeared to have died while attempting to return to the camp. One had a fractured skull.
It took two months before the other four bodies were found in a ravine a few hundred feet from the tree where the first two bodies were found. They were wrapped in pieces of clothing belonging to other members of the group, leading investigators to believe these four had died last and had removed clothing from those previously deceased. Oh yeah, and this clothing? It was RADIOACTIVE.
Though these four bodies showed no outwards signs of trauma (meaning no bruises or scratches or horrific festering wounds) they all died of trauma, most notably major chest fractures. Doctors said that the force required to cause such fractures would be comparable to the force of a car crash. Remember, no external damage. Oh yeah, and one woman was missing her tongue. HER TONGUE.
The final verdict was that the group members died due to "compelling natural forces," which sounds an awful lot like "we have so freaking idea what the heck happened here."

Cracked did a good article on this incident and came up with some good points
From what I remember
Tongue missing: Scavenging animals eat the soft tissue first
Wearing no cloths: Victims of hypothermia start to feel hot and undress, probably pretty delirious as well, walking around the surrounding area out of their minds
Clawing tents from inside: Possibly an avalanche
Radioactivity: Wasnt in the original documents, so probably added to spook some people
I think if there was an avalanche there would have been more evidence to show that, like everything being buried under the snow and the incident never would have picked up so much steam. The other explanations mostly make sense but its still really weird.

This happened while Russia was under the Soviet Union during the cold war era. I expect some information might have gone missing from the original reports or some shit. Everything during that period was considered a national secret.
But perhaps the hypothermia made them claw their ways out of their tents. Like with the cloths, they where probably feeling very hot and crazy and delirious and probably where not thinking straight :D
I would go with that more than with the avalanche theory, especially if the only explanation for why buried under snow isn't documented with the rest and preserved footprints are explained away is "soviet conspiracy." If the other stuff was well documented, I don't see why that in particular would be covered up
