KRTV in Montana is investigating how an apparent hacker commandeered its Emergency Alert System on Monday and informed viewers that a zombie apocalypse was underway.

"Dead bodies are rising from their graves," a voice calmly stated during the station's broadcast of the "Steve Wilkos Show."

Fortunately for residents of north central Montana, the bogus alert did not prove prophetic, and "The Walking Dead" is still just a popular cable TV show.
