This week on Wyrd Wessex, Andy and Craig take a detour from ghosts and true crime to dive headfirst into a mind-bending conspiracy theory that inspired a hit TV show! Get ready as they peel back the layers of Netflix's Stranger Things and reveal its alleged real-world roots in The Montauk Project.
Was Hawkins Lab just fiction, or were there really secret government experiments on psychic kids? From the infamous Philadelphia Experiment and its disappearing ship to alleged Nazi gold funding bizarre research, they explore claims of time travel, inter-dimensional breaches, and chilling mind control tests. Hold onto your Eggos as they discuss the "Montauk chair," the unsettling tales of "Montauk Boys," a shocking Jesus blood on Mars theory, and the truly unbelievable ending involving a hairy monster!
Plus, they'll touch on the real-life, ethically murky Operation Paperclip and other shadowy government projects like MK Ultra and Stargate Project that blur the line between science fiction and terrifying reality. Is the Montauk Project a wild fabrication, or is there a disturbing truth buried beneath Camp Hero? Tune in and decide for yourself!
