History & local legend
In February 1983, twenty-one-year-old Don Decker stayed with Bob and Jeannie Keiffer on Ann Street in Stroudsburg after his grandfather’s funeral. Their account became known as the rain that followed Don Decker: water reportedly appeared inside the house without a visible source, traveling in directions that ordinary dripping could not explain.
Landlord Ron Van Why said he checked for a plumbing problem but found no pipes in the affected part of the house. Patrolman Richard Wolbert recalled being pelted with water on entering and watching a droplet travel horizontally between two men into the next room.
When Decker and the Keiffers crossed the street to eat, Van Why stayed behind and said the rain stopped. Restaurant owner Pam Scrofano told Unsolved Mysteries that water began appearing in her establishment soon after Decker sat down.
