February 24, 1983. The funeral of James Kishaugh. Kishaugh’s grandson, 21-year-old Don Decker of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, was granted a furlough from the county jail to attend the funeral. Don was serving a 4- to 12-month sentence for receiving stolen property. But no one at the funeral knew he had a dark secret.
After the funeral, he decided to spend the night with his friends, Bob and Jeannie Keiffer. And that’s when the unexplained began to happen. It was at the Keiffer's home that all the uneasy feelings stirred up at the funeral came back to haunt Don. Suddenly he felt a deep chill. At almost the same time, water began to drip from the living room walls as Don says he fell into a strange, trance-like state. The Keiffers notified the landlord, Ron Van Why. When Ron arrived, he was just as puzzled by the problem as the Keiffers

Ron telephoned his wife, Romayne, and the police. Patrolman Richard Wolbert and John Baujan arrived at the scene. Officer Wolbert said that not only was it raining inside, but that the water drops defied physics
John Baujan was another officer at the house that night.At this point, the officers left to report the incident to the police chief. The Keiffers and Don walked across the street for something to eat.
Pam Scrofano, who owned the restaurant across from the Keiffers' house, had visited them earlier that day and had seen the rain firsthand. Pam was convinced Don Decker, sitting in her restaurant with the Keiffers, was possessed by an evil spirit.
The police chief announced that the problem was a plumbing issue and ordered his officers to leave the Keiffer house. Officer Baujan said they were told not to file a report and not to even talk about the incident
The next day, three officers ignored the orders of the police chief. They went to the Keiffer home to continue their investigation . When minutes passed , Don levitated off the floor and tossed by mysterious force !
Finally, on the third night, Ron Van Why asked a preacher to come to the house and try an exorcism. When exorcism almost over ,the mysterious rain was gone and Don Decker appeared to return to his old self. But the change was only temporary. After his furlough, Don returned to jail. Within a few days, the mysterious rain returned, this time, in the jail and An officer had a decision to calls the priest and do exorcism
In all, nine eyewitnesses, plus Don himself, were willing to go on record saying they saw, heard, and felt phenomena apparently not of this world. And they continue to believe Don was possessed by the devil. They have found no other explanation for the bizarre events.
