Show VOICE CRYING IN WILDERNESS AWES Strange Midnight Moans From Woods. Butler, N. J. A spooky voice has been crying in the wilderness surrounding sur-rounding Mount Calvary cemetery in the outskirts of this village for ten successive nig'Jits between midnight anu daybreak. Strange shoutings, uol uiume inose or an enraged telephone tele-phone subscriber yelling into the transmitter, have been heard by passers-by. At least thirty responsible citizens cit-izens who have heard the voice have tried in vain to solve the mystery. Boland Marcus and his wife, who live In Bartholdl avenue, not far from the cemetery, first heard the voice as they were retiring for the night. Marcus Mar-cus dressed and with a lantern followed fol-lowed the sound, thinking that some one was in distress, but he could not locate the source of the cry. Special Policeman Thomas Spring, on his way home after midnight, heard the strange noise and started in the direction of the sound, but his chase also came to naught. The other night a party of twelve after hearing the voice In the dense woods tried to surround the sound, but without success. Spiing said: "Every night when we hear this strange voice it seems to come nearer near-er and grows bolder, but we will capture cap-ture the cuss who is fooling with us if we are compelled to surround the woods with a posse and close in like a rabbit drive out West." Early In the year school children coming home in terror told their parents par-ents of a wild man leaping out of the woods near the cemetery and babbling bab-bling incoherent words in a loud voice. The man was never caught. |
