For Decades, Mountaineers Have Encountered Ghosts And Supernatural Experiences On Mount Everest

9Ghost Soldier who Protects India’s Borders

Baba Harbhajan Singh was hailed as a hero of Nathula which is a border area between India and China in the northeast state of Sikkim. He died in 1968 after slipping into a stream. The story goes that his body was found by fellow soldiers led by his own ghost. It is believed that Singh's spirit entered their dreams and informed them where his body lay. The search party also reported seeing Singh on horseback guiding them to the spot. Many believe that Singh’s spirit patrols the area guarding India’s borders at night.

10The tragedy of Everest

If the mysteries of Mount Everest seemed too farfetched for you, then what’s even more tragic about Everest is the manner in which climbers are left to deal because of a stupid code of the mountain climbers abide by in their quest for the summit.

11The most tragic incident named sleeping beauty

Perhaps the worst incident was of Francis Arsentiev and her Husband Sergei who tried summiting Everest in 1998. Francis attempted to become the first woman to climb the mountain without oxygen. Although she succeeded after two attempts, she never lived to celebrate her feat.

12He climbed back up to rescue his wife

Lack of O2 forced the couple to descend slowly and as a result, they had to spend a night in the death zone. Bad weather soon separated the couple and Sergei made his way down to camp IV. He thought Francis may have done the same but never found her at camp. Sergei climbed back up the mountain with oxygen and medical supplies hoping to rescue his wife.
