A message to the local press

Dear Members of the local press

We at Katies of Smithtown are holding a event marking the 100 year old fire that destroyed the Trainor Hotel which once stood on the spot that Katies now stands.

We are asking for the for help in attaining any Photos or information on the Trainor Hotel, we know through old newspapers that it burned down on Dec 5th 1909 , but we know little else. Maybe some of your readers have something useful to help us in our search.

Many people think that possible un-timely deaths from the fire may have something to do with much of the paranormal activity in Katies bar. Joining us for this event will be A&E`s celebrity Psychic Chip Coffey, Also many of Long Islands Paranormal groups and experts will be attending this event as well. The paranormal activity has been very active over the past few months, We have even captured on video flying or tossed glasses from the racks, which is something that the bar is famous for , I would be happy to show you these videos.

We have found with the help of the Smithtown Library and the Smithtowns Clerks Office a copy of Charlie Kliens death certificate and the old newspaper story about how and why he killed himself. It was amazing to see that the documents backed up the local legend and stories about Katies favorite ghost Charlie.

I hope that you find these stories and legends as interesting as the staff , customers and fans of Katies worldwide. After some bumpy roads for Katies its seems that the bar has finally come into its own,

Maybe with the help of some spirits that seem to enjoy the attention

That they get, Katies will continue to grow.

Thank you,

Brian Karppinen
