Like many locations across the globe, Eastern Pennsylvania is home to some of its own chilling ghost stories. These ghost stories vary depending on the region and history of the Pennslyavian location.
Our first ghost story of the month is about Stroudsburg local, Don Decker, also known as “Rain Man.”
Don Decker was granted a leave of absence from the county jail in February 1983 to attend a funeral for his late grandfather, James Kishpaugh. After the funeral, Don Decker decided to spend the night with his friends Bob and Jeannie Keiffer. While there, something unusual happened!
Decker fell into a trance-like state and much to the shock of his friends, water began to drip from the living room walls. The Keiffers immediately notified their landlord, Ron Van Why, but when Van Why arrived, he was puzzled by the Keiffer’s situation.
Van Why reported that he had “decided it was the plumbing, but there were no pipes in the front end of the house,” where the water had been dripping. He noted that the water was not only coming from the ceiling but also from the walls, stating the water “could come from anywhere.”
After calling his wife and the police, Van Why entered the house again with Officer Patrolman Wolbert. Both men were uneased by the way the rain seemed to defy physics.
As the night continued, the events became even more terrifying as the rain continued to drip and Don Decker remained in his possessed-like trance.
But what was the source behind this terrifying and unexplainable event? To learn more about this mind-twisting story, click the link below.
