Stranger Things Season 2: 10 Best Moments

7. Eleven Witnesses Her Own Birth (Chapter 5)

Stranger Things Eleven
Netflix

After visiting her mother Terry, who is in an unresponsive state, Eleven decides to use her psychic abilities to delve into her mother's mind.

What follows is a disturbing sequence in which Eleven witnesses her own birth, from a heavily-pregnant Terry going into labour, to being rushed to the hospital, having an emergency C-section (complete with Brenner overseeing it), being informed by her sister Becky that she miscarried (but knowing that Brenner covered the birth up), attempting to rescue Eleven as a child, and finally being caught and submitted to electro-convulsive therapy, leaving her in this current state.

It's a hell of a lot for any person to swallow down, especially a child, and how trippy does it have to be to watch yourself being born?
