Entity -- 1998 Thirty four unidentified bodies were found in shallow graves in a remote Siberian forest. Despite subsequent police investigations no official explanation was ever offered by the Russian authorities for these deaths. The case was closed three years later. 2010 A small English TV crew set out for the remote Russian forest. The Darkest Secrets TV programme revisits the sites of unsolved crimes. They employ the gifts of a psychic whose extraordinary powers may shed new light on this old mystery. The last communication to their production office in London stated that they were approaching the Siberian region where the bodies were found. Nothing was heard from them again.
