Historian Violet Shindler digs into history from a different perspective: she uses the tools of paranormal investigations to uncover the true spirit of an historic site. She is a collector of stories from the past. She illuminates those stories with the findings of her investigations.

Ms. Shindler is the in-house Paranormal Historian at the Heritage Village in Sharon Woods Park. There, she hosts “Spirits by Starlight,” the region’s only year-round immersive haunted history experience.

The Delhi Historical Society is fortunate to host Ms. Shindler as she shares the results of her paranormal history research in Delhi that she has performed this year.

Charlie Hustle - the name means baseball, Cincinnati, the Reds, and of course, Pete Rose. Author Keith O’Brien spent years interviewing Rose’s associates, investigators, and Pete himself to get the first-hand information regarding the glory and the ugliness of Cincinnati’s most famous baseball player. O’Brien left no stone unturned digging for the truth about Pete’s human failings that caused his fall from grace. O’Brien’s research even led him to the archives of the Delhi Historical Society.

The result is the book Charlie Hustle, the Rise and Fall of Pete Rose and the Last Glory Days of Baseball, to be released March 26, 2024.

Kirkus Reviews calls O’Brien’s book, “the definitive account of the life and times of Rose” and a “masterpiece of a sports biography.”

Explore the eccentric side of yesterday's Queen City. Cincinnatians today wrap themselves in a comforting blanket of serene conformity, soothed by the myth that the Queen City has always been a bland, somewhat Germanic, little backwater town.

Buckle up as author Greg Hand leads a rambunctious tour through the old, weird Cincinnati.
