**You remember the brutal crime, don't you?**

  

Maybe you read about it on Twitter. Maybe a friend sent you a news clip. Maybe you saw it on an episode of _Spectral Journeys_ that night you were flipping through channels, unable to sleep.

  

**Maybe after reading the true story, you won't ever sleep again.**

  

On June 1, 2017, six people were killed at a Burger City franchise off I-80 near Jonny, Iowa. It was the bizarre and gruesome conclusion to nine months of alleged paranormal activity at the fast-food joint-events popularly known as "the Burger City Poltergeist."

  

The story inspired Facebook memes, Twitter hashtags, Buzzfeed listicles, _Saturday Night Live_ sketches, and more. But the case was never much more than a punchline...until bestselling writer Daniel Kraus (_The Shape of Water, The Living Dead_) decided to head to Iowa to dig up what really happened.

  

Presented here is the definitive story of "the most exhaustively documented haunting in history," including-for the first time ever-interviews with every living survivor of the tragedy.

  

The employees of Burger City were a family. They loved one another. At least, at the beginning.
