The screaming dead must have lost their voices

The journey to Cedar Hill Cemetery seemed fated to result in dramatic events as though scripted by a Hollywood screenwriter of the supernatural.  The location of the Baker Mausoleum on the 113 acre cemetery was unknown at the beginning of this expedition. Upon entering the site, a series of roads branched into several directions.  These roads would then split again, creating a network of veins throughout the rolling hills. Despite the odds, the authors of this article drove directly to meet the Baker family at their resting place as though guided. (Reference The screaming dead article for additional background on this story.)

As things turned out, if some mysterious force was reaching out to pull those living closer, it was simply a tease. As legend has it, one will hear a woman screaming when placing his or her ear against the mausoleum door. Even the non-believing skeptic felt slightly anxious while stepping up to the dilapidated structure.  At times, imagination and eerie surroundings have a way of overcoming reason when put to the test.  All that was heard, however, was the murmuring sounds created by the cars passing by on nearby Cedar Road as the rumble of engines vibrated up through the concrete. If there are indeed spirits haunting The Baker Mausoleum, they may tease by leading one to anxious anticipation.  But, unfortunately, the experience will not end in screams.
