Yes, there are some real - world accounts that seem to suggest mind control. For example, in some cult cases, leaders use various techniques like isolation, repetitive indoctrination, and sleep deprivation to manipulate their followers' thoughts. However, these are often complex situations that involve a combination of psychological abuse and social influence rather than some sort of 'supernatural' mind control.
There are real stories that give the impression of mind control. Take the case of some marketing and advertising strategies. They use psychological tricks to make people more likely to buy their products. They study consumer behavior and use things like persuasive language, colors, and sounds to influence our decisions. It's not the same as the extreme mind control we might think of in movies, but it shows how our minds can be nudged in certain directions by external factors.
