why are there no other accounts of that outside the bible?
If graves opened up and a bunch of people started walking around Baltimore, this would be front page news... why didn't anyone else think it was important?

No secular records, no outside firsthand accounts.. only documents written at least 50 years past the event..what gives?

I imagine that it would have impressed the Romans and there would have been a report or two.

Ok I'm not exaxctly sure what you are asking,so I'll try to answer the best that I can. Not everything that happened during biblical times are recorded in the bible. But we really do not need to know if there were other accounts or not. And about people being resurrected and walking around Baltimore? Well what I know about that is that we have a hope of a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. We do not know when that time will come, we just know that the time is getting close. Here are a couple of scriptures.
John 5: 28, 29 - Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
Revelation 16: 15, 16 - "Look! I am coming as a thief. Happy is the one that stays awake and keeps his outer garments, that he may not walk naked and people look upon his shamefulness." And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

First of all, there are only 9 resurrections recorded in the Bible. Just NINE. Now keep in mind we are not looking at communications methods such as we know today. Or even those we knew a hundred or two hundred nears ago. Who said they even had "front page news"? Things like that spread by word of mouth which is why people would hear about Jesus miracles, including resurrections he performed, and sought him out.

When The Christians that are dead in Christ is ressurrected, The world will not even know it, the same when Jesus was rasied, The graves of the OT saints were also opened, The world did not notice that eithter, the same will be when the dead in Christ is resurrected, Only their families & there friends will notice, Not the world, Because they will be resurrected for only a very short time period, & then they will be taken up into Heaven to the marriage supper.

Matthew 27:52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

It might be that news traveled by word of mouth and no thought to write it down.

I don't know. I wasn't there. I didn't write the Bible. But that's what it says, and I believe it.

Because everyone who saw it converted.
The ones who didn't see it, didn't believe it.
