Camp Hero in Montauk Point, New York- a former military base abandoned in the 1980s, and the alleged site of sinister government experiments. Its buried sinister past was the inspiration for the show “Stranger Things.” 

Today, Camp Hero is a New York State-run public park with nearly 800 acres of wild beaches, dense forests and wetlands. But dotted around the park you will find the ruins of its past life, that we’re going to look into, today.

From its beginning, Camp Hero was built with deception in mind. It was the height of subterfuge, disguised as a fishing village to fool Nazi reconnaissance.

Concrete military buildings were painted with fake wood sidings and false windows to resemble cottages.

But Camp Hero would soon become overshadowed by whispers of something much more sinister: A series of highly top secret, government run experiments, known as the Montauk Project.

US intelligence embarked on a fiercely aggressive program to track down as many Nazi scientists and technicians as possible. Codenamed Operation Paperclip, nearly 1,600 captured Nazi scientists were secretly relocated to the US, and put to work on a wide range of  projects. (A lot of them are smiling.)

But, apparently the covert Operation Paperclip also included German scientists & doctors who worked on biological research and medical treatments, such as  the use of mescaline – a powerful psychedelic comparable to LSD. Their mission: To create a powerful new weapon that could control human minds.

A sealed entrance to Camp Hero’s alleged underground facilities. It is claimed the subterranean floors were flooded with cement once the project was shut down in the early 1980s.

Most of Camp Hero’s conspiracy theories center around the enormous 126 foot radar dish, that is perched on a windowless concrete monolith that towers over the other abandoned buildings in the park.

The giant radar would give the United Sates a 30 minute warning should the unthinkable happen.

Around New York City alone, there were 19 secret and heavily guarded Nike missile sites, part of what the US Army called a ‘Ring of Supersonic Steel.’ (An abandoned silo is pictured above.)

Nike missile control room.

But the giant radar dish had a peculiar side effect: It produced a signal as high as 425MHz, a frequency that routinely disrupted TVs and radios in the homes of  residents. It was also a frequency that was rumored to disrupt the human brain.

According to the 1992 book, The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time, the facility had 12 levels under the radar station, where psychological warfare techniques using electromagnetic radiation on homeless people and runaway teenagers, known as ‘the Montauk Boys,’  ranged from mind control to psychic abilities and even time travel.

One explorer said he discovered an underground tunnel at the end of which was a “heavy door, and it had a heavy wheel, like a bank vault.” Alongside other sealed entrances, he uncovered rooms decorated with highly psychedelic patterned wallpaper.

Most intriguingly of all, he found records of vast quantities of food being ordered to Camp Hero in the late 1980s, at a cost of $80,000 a month, years after the US Military had decommissioned the base.

Sceptics, however, should delve into the documents entered into the public record by a 1977 Congressional investigation into a CIA run project called MK- Ultra.

Approved by CIA director Allan Dulles in 1953, Project MK-Ultra conducted hundreds of experiments under the title of “Research In Behavioral Modification.” Some of the participants in the experiments were volunteers. In one study, volunteers were given LSD for a consecutive 77 days. Other experiments in ‘mind control’ would use electro-shock therapy, hypnosis and radiation.

Even more disturbing, the CIA would often drug US citizens and conduct experiments on them without their knowledge or consent. These experiments in mind control caused at least one death that we know about.

The MK-Ultra project was swiftly shut down in the wake of the Watergate scandal, and CIA director Richard Helm ordered all files to be destroyed. The gruesome project might have never come to public light were if not for 20,000 documents that were discovered in a financial records building.

When the deeds to Camp Hero were handed over from the gov’t to the New York State Dept of Parks and Recreation in 1984, they stipulated that New York State would own everything on the surface of the base (what is today the public park), but the gov’t retained ‘ownership of everything below the surface’ – indication of a larger facility lying hidden beneath…

i love how it never crossed my mind once, at the end of and after season 3, that the byers had been **relocated** to california instead of joyce being like "i have had enough of this shit I AM OUT"

in retrospect, after the trailer release, it's SO OBVIOUS. between the us gov't and the russians they know about el, they know joyce helped hopper in the underground russian lab thing, they even know about will -- of COURSE they need to be relocated, they're in danger.

but it never occurred to me, not even once.

ok, duffers. you win the kudos this round.

True! I think some sorta thought it or at least it should have been obvious by the time we saw the Byers big Cali house. But yeah it’s interesting they wouldn’t have her want to relocate after the events of s2 tbh (altho she was already thinking of it then). So I wonder if she had been talking to Owens about it across season 3, even though we obvs don’t see it, or if it was a decision made after the end and Hopper “dies,” el loses her powers, and her family was at risk again. I wonder if she approached Owens about it or he came to her asking her to relocate (like he says he tried to get them as far away from Hawkins as possible, so obvs he chose the place…which also happens to be near a super secret bunker run by Brenner so how was it supposed to be safe for el—still really curious abt the relationship bet Owens and Brenner). But maybe she was the one to ask to move as far as possible? It’s also just interesting they revealed Owens relocated them (or agreed to relocate them) in the trailer, but it makes sense.

For Decades, No One Knew About Congress's Secret Apocalypse Bunker In The Mountains Of West Virginia.

White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia is home to one of the most elite resorts in the United States: The Greenbrier. The resort has hosted numerous congressional meetings, 27 presidents, and has been around since 1778.

However, underneath the resort sat a government secret so well kept that, up until 1992, its existence was only known to a handful of people. Look at the subterfuge.

In the 1950s, the Cold War threatened Nuclear Disaster. Bunkers, were where important people (or whomever could afford to build such a shelter), could take refuge in case of nuclear war, were all the rage.

So, you can tell from the above photo that it’s under here.  Pres. Eisenhower picked Greenbrier as the perfect location. It was far enough from Washington D.C. to avoid a direct hit from an atomic bomb, but close enough that Congress could get there in about 5 hours.

The 153-room bunker would be able to house about 1,000 people — that's more than enough beds for the 535 members of Congress. Each bed was assigned specifically to a person- there was no room for extras, so family would have to be left behind.

For 30 yrs. it was continually restocked with 6 mos. of supplies.

It was also where Congress could meet w/a communications center outfitted with microphones.

Part of the ingenious plan to disguise the bunker was, paradoxically, to reveal it. So, it had offices and even the people who worked there had no idea. Locals were getting suspicious, though. They were asking why there was a 7,000 ft. landing strip for a town with 3,000 people.

People were noticing things, the Cold War was over, and lips got loose. Even though they were asked not to, the Washington Post, in a 1992 tell-all article and follow-up, outed the bunker, so it was opened to the public and you can tour it.

An expensive secret bunker could look bad for Congress and when the news broke, they thought Congress would be mad b/c they didn’t even know about the bunker in the first place. So after the bunker's secrets were revealed, the government shut it down, and it now serves as a museum and data storage facility.
