High Rock event theories
High Rock event
Urban legend
The easiest explanation of the event is... that it never took place at all. Although it is good story, there isn’t much evidence to work on.
Facts that are supporting the theory:
- there are no official records of the event,
- there are no articles in local newspapers in 1966 about the event,
- we don’t know the names of the boys,
- we don’t know the age of the boys,
- we don’t know where exactly they lived in the area,
- there are no informations how exactly did the survivors later disappeared,
- there are no official records of later disappearances,
- there isn’t event confirmed date the events took place (16 June or 16 July according to other sources).
Facts that oppose the theory:
- in 1960s Poland was still a communist country and communist government used to cover up stories that would make them look bad, but this story would not make them look bad, spectacular search operation would even make them look concerned and compassionate.
The whole story is strangely similar to "Picnic at Hanging Rock", the novel was written in 1967, so if the legend was inspired by the book it must have been invented after 1967. It is more likely that the story was derived from Dyatlov Pass Incident or just part of the local folklore.
Do you have what it takes to solve a case like this?

It sounds completely like an urban legend. As I was reading I was thinking exactly what is written here: What are the names of the boys? Was there a police report? What happened to the families of the boys? NONE of that is reported, for some odd reason. I recall another urban legend years ago that several students at the University of Chicago had followed the instructions in the Bible to build a new Ark of the Covenant, but it turned out to be "too powerful" and so they destroyed it. Yeah RIGHT! The names of the students should have been easily verified, as well as the class that they were building this "New Ark of the Covenant" yet NOTHING ever came up to verify it.
