JOHN HART: NBC News has new information on mind
experiments done 20 years ago without the patients knowledge,
experiments funded by the CIA.
This information indicates the CIA was interested in
learning how to erase memory. The report by Paul Altmeyer.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I would say.it cost me my life.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: I was completely -- it was like
they had complete control over me.
VAL ORLIKOW: I've heard that it was the most brutal
program under that -- under MK-Ultra in the States and in
Canada.
ALTMEYER: They're former patients, part of the
CIA-funded experiments, MK-Ultra, performed at this Gothic
estate known as Ravens Crag in Montreal.
The work was done by the late Dr. Yuin Cameron and
involved extensive use of potentially dangerous drugs, excess-
ive electric shock treatment, and endless tape recorded
messages to sleeping patients. Some heard the same message a
quarter-of-a-million times.
Newly released documents show the CIA's former chief
psychologist, John Giddinger,~ monitored Cameron's project for
the Agency. In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Giddinger
describes Cameron's methods.
