The Real CIA Experiments That Inspired Stranger Things

Stranger Things feels like fiction… but some of its most disturbing elements were inspired by real-world programs. In this video, we explore the real history behind the show, including Project Montauk, the CIA’s MK-Ultra experiments, and the documented psychic research programs involving individuals like Ingo Swann. These were not movie scripts — they were actual government-funded projects involving psychological experimentation, classified facilities, and secret research into the limits of the human mind. We separate fact from speculation and examine what is supported by historical records, declassified documents, and credible testimony.
