Crown Hill is a very large cemetery, and a good many historical people have been buried here. The Tower of Memories is the most notable feature. This seven-story mausoleum, whose construction spread over 60 years, features an entrance hall with a pictorial history of the cemetery, a chapel, and the metro area's first multi-tiered mausoleum.

This cemetery felt fairly active in some locations, but very little of the equipment registered much beyond normal throughout the grounds. Most of the activity seems to be located near the Tower of Memories. Below are some quotes from Investigators Logs.
Investigator #1:
"Checking tape recorder, found that it only recorded 10 seconds. Restarted. Noticed that there are definite cold spots in areas of the cemetery. Noticed most severe around the SW corner behind the Tower of Memories. Retrieved the IR thermometer to take readings around the Tower of memories. On the East side, readings averaged around 20 degrees F. On the West side, readings averaged around 17 degrees F, with reading ranging from -1 to 5 degrees F on the SW corner. About half of the pictures taken were not developed due to the fact that frames were blanked out white and almost unreadable on the index print. Looking at the location of where these pics were taken, half were taken by an area of trees in the vicinity of the crematory."
Investigator #2:
"As I walked by the back side of the Tower Of Memories, I noticed a figure in the tower; I brought it to the group's attention. I know I had someone take a picture. As we walked to the back of the cemetery and everyone had walked through the gate, I noticed a tapping noise once everyone had crossed through, this was in the tree that held my attention, I felt like someone was watching me and wanting us to notice their presence. As we walked back to go towards the gate and everyone had passed through the gate except me and once again I noticed the tapping which only started again after they passed. The feeling of "Please don't forget me!" came over me. I tried to use the temperature gauge and I could only get a reading in front of the building which read 28 degrees ... then it bottomed out to -18 this was in the front before the investigation even started. Then when the actual investigation started, no temp was showing every time I tried to run it."
Investigator #3:
"White streak across my vision as I walked back. Later everyone else left but me and one other investigator. We went to the right side where the balloons were. Felt pursued by negative energy. We saw a shadowy form cross one window on upper floor of mausoleum where urn wall is, does not pass other windows, we both immediately feel urge to leave, deep sense of something coming."

The general consensus here is that the Tower of Memories contains the most activity. There seems to be mostly residual energy left on the rest of the grounds. The energy within the Tower of Memories and surrounding area feels friendly. With the lack of any readings to back up the personal experiences, we are unable to determine if the location is haunted at this time.
