The fast food chain recently announced the Ghost Whopper, a regular burger served with a whitish sesame-seed bun that’s cheddar-flavored.

The sandwich will be available for a limited time in select restaurants across 10 states, including Georgia. You can grab one for $4.59 from October 24 to October 31.

In a hilarious promo video posted to Twitter, BK hires Riz Mirza, a psychic medium, to lead a “spirit taste test” for the Ghost Whopper. “Come try what the spirits already have,” the company wrote as the caption.

This isn’t the first time the restaurant has observed spooky occasions with a fresh menu item.

Last Halloween, it sold the Nightmare King, a chicken sandwich on a green sesame bun. And earlier this year, it introduced the “Upside-Down Whopper” in honor of “Stranger Things.”
