Stranger Things tells the story of a top secret government experiment on a person of extraordinary
ability, who accidentally creates a portal to an alternate dimension.
But can you imagine if stranger things wasn't just a story?
What if stranger things was real?
Hello and welcome back to life's biggest questions.

Stranger things has become a cultural phenomenon, because it combines conspiracy theories with
elements of the supernatural.
But is it really inconceivable that a government experiment like the one in stranger things
exists?
Maybe not.
In fact, the duffer brothers, the writers of stranger things, based their series on
a real life conspiracy theory that a lot of people believe in.
Stranger Things was originally supposed to be called Montauk, and it was based on a trilogy
of novels by preston b Nichols, which was based on his experiences at camp hero.
What is camp hero?
It's a secret US military institution on long island in New York where scientists were
rumoured to have pushed the limits of what was theoretically possible.
This was called the Montauk project, because it took place at the Montauk air force station.
Stories about the Montauk project began to circulate in the 1980s.
These stories originated from Preston Nichols, who claimed to have recovered repressed memories
of his involvement in the project.
He alleges that Time travel experiments were conducted, teleportation, mind control, as
well as psychic warfare.
He recalls that children were allegedly abducted from their homes, taken to the facility and
experimented on.
Preston Nichols says he has memories of being a part of a scientific experiment known as
the Montauk Chair, which amplifies psychic powers.
One of the experiments, which Nichols calls The Seeing Eye resembles the experiment that
caused eleven to open the portal to the upside down.
Nichols also writes about other children being abducted and experimented on, and apparently
some were sent through a portal into the unknown of space-time.
I will say that nichol's claims have not been confirmed, and they are conspiracy theories,
but that doesn't mean they are completely untrue.
There have been many reports of government programs conducting questionable experiments
over the years like MKUltra and project stargate.
MK ultra was program funded by the CIA where drugs were experimented with to see if they
had the power to control minds.
Years later, test subjects began to come forward, writing books about their experiences.
Project stargate is another secret government program.
It was funded by the US army to attempt to find out if paranormal phenomena could be
used for military purposes.
Cathy O Brien wrote two books about being involved in something called Project Monarch.
Project monarch involved testing mind control techniques on children.
The purpose?
To create a super soldier, much like Eleven.
In 1995, US president bill clinton even issued an apology, stating that thousands of government
experiments took place at hospitals, universities and military bases in the US.
These experiments were kept secret.
The US offers sincere apologies to those of our citizens who were subject to these experiments.
So what if stranger things was real?
Let's be realistic, if there really was a portal to another dimension, and human test
subjects with extra ordinary abilities, there is no way the public would know about it.
The government would cover up the evidence, as they have done in the past.
Thousands of files have been destroyed, we don't know the full extent of these government
experiments.
But People who claim to have been involved like Preston B Nichols and cathy Obrien, would
likely write books about their experiences.
These books would be compelling, but would be dismissed as conspiracy theories, much
like they are today.
Lets face it, a portal to an alternate dimension is not a concept many people can stomach,
and its definitely not something that a government would want another government to know about.
The government would also not want the masses to know that they abduct people and conduct
experiments on them.
So what if stranger things was real?
It could be real right now, but you will never know about it.
