hair on end.  Heavy, booted footsteps were heard on the staircase leading up to the second floor.  No one was ever    physically attached to the footsteps.      Occupants were sometimes touched by unseen hands. 
A young child would often speak with an imaginary friend called "Armby".  At first the parents thought that this was cute, explained Rauber.  Then, one day a glass of water was found in the child's room.  Being too small to reach the sink to get the water himself, the parents asked where it came from.  The child insisted that his friend had given it to him because he was thirsty.  At that point the parents decided to have a talk with the child.  This 5 year old boy then described a  British Revolutionary War soldier from hat to

         Diane Carving Her Niche in Parapsychology

When Tour co-owner Diane Bixler first met Al Rauber,  she expressed a desire to learn as much as she could about the phenomena of hauntings.  Having worked for a competitive tour in town, she knew the pitfalls and  embarrassments of being questioned by enthusiastic tour goers, and not    having an answer to their questions.
We were actually told NOT to          encourage or answer questions, Diane explains.  How can you expect someone

to pay money for a tour, and not be allowed to ask a few questions?
When  I took Al's tour, he was not merely regurgitating someone else's inaccurate accounts of Cape May hauntings.  He was explaining things.  He had done the actual investigations and he had reasons for the    hauntings.  I knew that this is what I wanted to do, and I quit the other tour the next day.  I've never regretted that decision.

Today, Diane has become quite knowledgeable regarding this            fascinating subject. Having conducted actual investigations and interviews has really added to her total subject knowledge.  Rauber has noticed a quiet assurance about her.  I've said it before, I am very proud of Diane and appreciate all that she adds to this tour.  There are even plans for Diane and the Tour to be featured on The Discovery Channel early next year!
