Hey there, fellow fans of the supernatural and eerie! If you’ve ever binge-watched Netflix’s hit series “Stranger Things,” you’ve probably found yourself wondering at some point, “Is this based on a true story?” Well, you’re not alone! In this blog, we’re going to dive deep into the Upside Down to unravel the mystery behind Hawkins, Indiana, and see if there’s any truth lurking beneath the surface.
Speaking of government secrets, the portrayal of Hawkins National Laboratory in “Stranger Things” is reminiscent of real-life government experiments, notably the CIA’s MK-Ultra program. MK-Ultra explored mind control and behavioral modification through various methods, including the use of substances like LSD. While the show’s experiments take a supernatural twist, the concept of shadowy government agencies conducting clandestine research has its roots in historical conspiracy theories.
