See inside the eerie, abandoned Air Force base that spawned conspiracy theories and inspired 'Stranger Things'

• Camp Hero is a state park in Montauk, the easternmost tip of Long Island, New York.
• It used to be Montauk Air Force Station, which reportedly inspired Netflix's "Stranger Things."
• Last summer, I visited the state park and understood why it's the subject of conspiracy theories.

Fans of "Stranger Things" know that all the interdimensional problems that have befallen our friends in Hawkins, Indiana, are because of the secret government facility known as the Hawkins Lab.

But did you know that Netflix's "Stranger Things" was originally called "Montauk," named after the real-life New York town that's at the center of multiple conspiracy theories?
