Though not technically an investigation, Long Island Paranormal Investigators had a great time meeting the team from Pennsylvania State University’s Paranormal State (PRS) group. PRS were at Katie’s bar in Smithtown for the showing of an episode of “Paranormal State” that was filmed at the bar. LIPI members and guests attending this showing include Mike Cardinuto, Rob Levine, Jaiem Fleischmann, Craig Sorydl, Dimitri Haritos, Abby Haritos, Chris Haritos, Thelma D’Amico, Cheryl Wittmann and Jean Hennessy.
Both groups exchanged experiences when investigating Katie’s of Smithtown (click here to read about our investigation at Katie’s), stories and points of view about the paranormal. We agreed to stay in touch and maintain professional communications between our groups.
Thanks to Katie’s owner Brian Karppinen for hosting this party!
