You can find the book you want, no matter what you enjoy, if you know what to look for. Supernatural fiction books are about more than just ghosts and spooks, they delve into the world of government experiments and psychic abilities. More than one such story focuses on the MK Ultra program.

Rumors of cruel experiments on the USA's own citizens, carried out in the laboratories of special services branches, have circulated America for a long time. This has been ever since, they disclosed information about the CIA secret project "MK-Ultra". It was a sensation, it showed that over many years, scientists had conducted illegal research on some very esoteric subjects. Even now, the archives of the project still remain secret.

Ordinary Americans are under double psychological pressure - on the one hand, there is a very popular proposition that the country is almost surrounded by enemies, that only dream to take down the country and deprive the population of its traditional way of life. This fear is addressed in many books, and it helps them to become even more thrilling. On the other hand, another problem, the threat of security from your own government and security services can also be used by writers.

Writers write about agencies that pick up their citizens under the guise of total control. Of course, a revelation will only add fuel to the fire, so much so that the abbreviation NSA evoked a reaction in the average American that is not much nicer than the KGB. But if from foreign intelligence services still somehow protect their own, then there is just no way to be protected from the spooky doings of your own home.

The task of MK Ultra was to find ways to complete suppression of the human psyche, establishing absolute control over it - turn people into zombies, basically. The suspected psychic powers that could be implemented as a result have become the source of many an esoteric best seller. The experiments that are on record as being done, tried to achieve their targets by introducing artificial amnesia, erasing previous personal qualities and creating new ones.

Studies by shady agencies have involved some really cruel experiments. In real life, people have been given huge doses of drugs for many days in a row, bringing them to exhaustion and persistent mental disorders. The subjects had no idea about the purpose of these experiments. You can easily see that this could lead to some very interesting thought- trails, with a bit of imagination.

Most of the real life human guinea pigs were either prisoners or psychiatric patients, or people from the lower strata of the population. However, the actions of the CIA also affected respectable citizens. This adds that "it could be anything, or anyone" air to these supernatural stories. The end result is a far more enjoyable read for you.

This MK ultra project has existed since the early 50s to late 60s. During this time, thousands of people have been experimented on, some of whom had serious mental disorders, and many died. There are even some tales of unnatural changes and reactions in people, thus causing secret government dealings to be the backdrop for many a fictional story.
