Monsters, a parallel world, a little girl with devastating powers … Stranger Things is not really a documentary. Between Horror and Science Fiction, the series has been seducing fans of paranormal stories since 2016 and offers an increasingly impressive spectacle each season.
Originally, the Netflix hit was supposed to be called Montauk, referring to a series of experiments that took place in New York State in the 1970s. This is a conspiracy theory that has been repeatedly adopted and was the subject of a book published by Preston Nichols and Peter Moon in 1992. As crazy as it may sound, it was Montauk’s project that inspired the creators of Matt and Ross Daffers. For life Stranger Things.
Before we study this strange story, we must go back to 1942, during World War II. On the island of Long Island, Montauk, New York, a military base called Camp Hero has been built to protect the country from possible naval invasion, after the end of the war, the base is abandoned. At first glance, it looks like a simple set of blocks with a tower and a huge antenna in the middle. However, some argue that a series of insane experiments were conducted behind these walls.

This is the case of Preston Nichols, an electrician who worked on the Montauk project. In 1992, he co-authored a book with Peter Moon Montauk Project: Experiments in Time In which he says he witnessed research conducted by the authorities. Including experiments on teleportation, others in contact with aliens, and even the creation of a tunnel in a timely manner.
The electrician claims that abandoned children and the homeless were abducted and used as guinea pigs. According to reports, one of the most “famous” experiments, The Montauk Chair, was used to read the minds of subjects with electromagnetic radiation. The tests were conducted until 1983.

The list of possible experiments is long and long enough to open your eyes. Nevertheless, this demonstration sparked a whole series of theories in the American conspiracy media that merged with other well-known military myths such as The Philadelphia Experience.
In the field of fiction, this famous Montauk project gave ideas to the directors, so much so that several low-budget and low-quality films or documentaries were born. For their series Stranger ThingsThe Daphne brothers rejected the idea of setting up their own plot in Montauk for the invention of the city, Hawkins.
