“The Ural Mountains, February 1959. Nine experienced hikers from the Ural Polytechnical Institute set out on what should have been a challenging but ordinary trek. Days later, their campsite was discovered in ruins. Their tent had been slashed open from the inside. Their bodies were scattered across the mountainside, some barefoot in the snow, others with bizarre injuries: fractured skulls, crushed ribs, and one missing her tongue.

“For decades, the Dyatlov Pass Incident has confounded investigators and spawned countless theories—natural disasters, military experiments, even extraterrestrial encounters. What could have driven nine seasoned hikers to their doom in one of the most chilling mysteries of the 20th century?

Maybe some places are best left unexplored—this is True Terror on Tap.”

A new year—a fresh start, a clean slate. It’s a time of celebration, reflection, and resolutions. For many of us, it’s a night to dress up, go out, and toast to brighter days ahead. There’s something magical about New Year’s Eve: the countdown, the fireworks, the feeling that anything is possible.

It’s a chance to live in the moment. The thrill of the night, the excitement of being with friends, the fleeting promise of new beginnings. And for one woman in Hamilton, Ontario, New Year’s Eve in 1997 seemed to mark the start of something beautiful. A proposal of love, and a ring that was meant to symbolize forever.”

For 29-year-old Sheryl Sheppard, that night wasn’t the beginning of a fairy tale—it was the prologue to a nightmare. Just two days after she said ‘yes’ to the man who promised her forever, she vanished without a trace.

What happened to Sheryl in the first days of 1998 remains a mystery that has haunted her family, her community, and an entire nation. A night of celebration turned into decades of unanswered questions.As the clock strikes midnight this year, you might feel that pull—to go out, celebrate, and lose yourself in the celebration of a fresh start. But maybe… just maybe, you might want to skip the New Year’s Eve parties and stay safe. This is True Terror on Tap!
