The true crime documentary was created and directed by Leena Yadav and Anubhav Chopra.

It features interviews with clinical hypnotherapist Anita Anand, reporter Hemani Bhandari, journalist Barkha Dutt and several police officials and scientists.
The series focuses its story on the real life family of the Buraris, 11 members of whom were found dead in India on 30 June, 2018 - 10 discovered hanged and the grandma strangled.
The docuseries - titled House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths - interrogates theories which arose surrounding the deaths, questioning whether it was 'suicide, murder... or something else'.

However, while an 'interesting' series, that doesn't mean viewers haven't been left feeling haunted by it.
