Ep. 288 - The Montauk Project
2d ago00:33:53Tap to summarizeOne thing that fans of the Netflix series Stranger Things might not know, is that it was inspired by an actual conspiracy theory involving something known as the Montauk Project. A top secret military base on Long Island may have been the location for a series of disturbing experiments involving time travel, psychic children, monsters and more.
