The Whistling Graves

The cemetery has started whistling at night—different tunes from different plots, some cheerful, others mournful. The dead aren't rising, but their voices are. Families hear loved ones' favorite songs. Grave robbers hear warnings. One tune is a location encrypted in melody, leading to something buried long before the cemetery existed. Decode the music before treasure hunters desecrate every grave searching.
