WooHoo!! Here the all the information: :) Trick or Treat through KONA's Basement Since my wife and I took over the old Sam's Seafood back in January '08 we have heard so much about the possibility of this place being haunted. The mysterious electrical issues, the feelings of being watched, sightings of people who aren't there and so on. With my attempts to verify such paranormal activity, I have heard from many reliable sources that Sam died in the restaurant. Maybe it was a heart attack, maybe it was at the hands of an evil doer. I'm still not quite sure. The long standing joke in the restaurant is "oh it's just Sam again". Beginning Thursday, October 30th we will trick or treat our way through the basement at KONA. Approximately 6 feet below sea level our 4 room basement has been off limits to almost everyone. A true time capsule for this legendary restaurant that still has a portion of the old "rumrunner tunnel" dating back to the days of prohibition. I've heard stories that the 4 basement rooms used to be used as a speakeasy during prohibition and even a brothel (that may explain the walls in room 3 painted deep red). Groups will be escorted through the basement in set times and escorted out (as long as your escort makes it out that is). Will you get scared? We don't know. Do the employees get scared when they are down there? You better believe it!
