The Montauk Project

A legend claiming a Long Island military base ran secret time-travel and mind-control experiments — built almost entirely on one man's books, with no independently verified evidence behind them.

The Montauk Project is an alleged series of secret U.S. government experiments in psychological warfare, time travel, and mind control, said to have taken place at Camp Hero, a real former military installation in Montauk, New York. The story originates almost entirely from books by Preston Nichols, with no independent government record or physical evidence ever confirming the claims.
