Umm. Why not just replicate the prior tests.. Lets see, it was something 
involving a rug, or seaweed, and them getting wet, while everything else 
didn't, or something like that... Mind, you would need to add controls, 
like, locking the thing in a sealed box, climate controlled box, so that 
normal weather phenomena wouldn't have an effect, come up with, and test 
alternative hypothesis about how it happened, etc., but.. in principle.

Of course, one suspects the "believer" would just drop a rug on the 
floor, so some praying, then fail to notice the smell of cat/dog pee, 
when it miraculously ended up wet... lol
