Mongolian Death Worm: The 1867 Caravan That Encountered an Electric Creature in the Gobi Desert

In the summer of eighteen sixty seven, a caravan of fourteen traders set out from Kalgan to cross the Gobi Desert with jade, silk, and tea bound for Kobdo. What should have been a routine trade journey became one of the most terrifying encounters ever documented along the Silk Road. This is their account of the Mongolian Death Worm. The traders traveled with horses loaded with valuable goods, navigating the vast emptiness of the Gobi under the guidance of an experienced Russian caravan master named Volkov. The first signs of danger came subtly: strange furrows in the sand that appeared without explanation, horses growing increasingly restless, and a deep humming vibration rising from beneath the ground during sandstorms. As the journey progressed, the attacks escalated. The ground would collapse without warning, dragging horses and men downward. Strange electrical charges built up in their metal equipment, causing sparks to jump between buckles and rifle barrels. One trader was found dead with severe electrical burns covering his body, despite no lightning strikes occurring during the storm. The creature they encountered matched the descriptions found in ancient Mongolian folklore: a massive segmented worm that traveled underground, surfacing during sandstorms to hunt. Nomadic herders had warned of this creature for generations, calling it the Olgoi-Khorkhoi, claiming it could kill from a distance using electrical discharge and moved through sand as easily as fish through water. The survivors described a creature over twenty feet in length, covered in overlapping plates that reflected lantern light with an oily sheen. It had no visible eyes or mouth in the traditional sense, only smooth segmented skin that generated powerful electrical currents. The creature seemed to track vibrations through the ground, attacking anything that moved across the surface during storms. Two men vanished completely, pulled beneath the sand in seconds. Another died from electrical burns. The remaining traders abandoned their carts and goods, walking through the night to escape the hunting grounds of this underground predator. Only when they reached a nomadic camp did they find safety, guided by locals who knew to avoid certain regions of the desert during storm season. Historical records from the Qing Dynasty trade routes mention similar encounters. Caravans that disappeared without trace. Traders found dead with unexplained burns. Wells that were suddenly abandoned after reports of something living in the depths. The Mongolian Death Worm has been part of Central Asian folklore for centuries, described consistently across different tribes and time periods. Modern cryptozoologists have attempted to explain the creature as a type of giant amphisbaenid or legless lizard, though no specimens have ever been captured or photographed. The electrical capabilities described by witnesses align with certain fish and eel species, but no known land animal possesses such abilities. Some scientists dismiss the accounts entirely, attributing deaths to lightning strikes and disappearances to bandits or natural disasters. Yet the consistency of the descriptions across centuries and cultures suggests something real lurked beneath the Gobi sands. The traders of eighteen sixty seven were experienced men, familiar with desert dangers. They knew the difference between natural phenomena and something beyond explanation. Their account, recorded in trade ledgers and passed down through families, remains one of the most detailed encounters with this cryptid. The Gobi Desert spans over five hundred thousand square miles of harsh terrain across Mongolia and China. Much of it remains unexplored, with vast regions visited only by nomadic herders who maintain ancient knowledge of what lives there. If a creature evolved to travel underground, avoid surface detection, and hunt only during storms, it could remain hidden indefinitely in such an environment. This video presents the full account of the eighteen sixty seven caravan encounter, reconstructed from survivor testimonies and historical trade records. We follow their journey from departure to the final desperate escape, examining each stage of the encounter and comparing their descriptions to known Mongolian folklore and modern cryptozoology research. Whether the Mongolian Death Worm truly exists or represents a misidentification of natural phenomena remains unknown. What is certain is that men died in that desert under mysterious circumstances, and the survivors carried the terror of that experience for the rest of their lives.
