The Real MKUltra: Stranger Things’ Dark Inspiration
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
Stranger Things draws from real experiments darker than the show itself. Dr. Lee Kuhnle of The Uncover Up podcast reveals how 1980s Cold War paranoia birthed CIA programs like MKUltra and Stargate — testing LSD, mind control, and psychic spying, with chilling consequences. Some victims never recovered. Some files were destroyed. Some truths are still unknown.
Unpack the Canadian connection to CIA torture experiments, the military’s attempt to weaponize clairvoyance, and how the fictional Dr. Brenner eerily mirrors real-life figures. It’s not about fueling paranoia — it’s about exposing what actually happened, and what stories get left out of history.
