HEADLINERS: Waynesville History, Mystery & Scandals Tour

April 13, 2026 By Lisa Grigsby

Headlines. Scandals. Secrets. Not ghost tales, but real events that once shocked a small Ohio town. Join P3 on a daytime walking tour through Waynesville, uncovering documented stories beneath historic homes and storefronts—printed headlines of ambition, heartbreak, justice, rebellion, and mystery.

Join P3 for a brand-new daytime walking tour through the heart of Waynesville, where we dig beneath the surface of charming storefronts and historic homes to uncover the stories that once made the newspapers.

Most every stop on this tour connects back to documented headlines

What You’ll Discover:

📰 True Crime & Headline History

Stories pulled straight from archived newspapers — from shocking crimes to whispered scandals.

🚂 Underground Railroad Connections

Learn how Waynesville became an important hub in the fight for freedom, with deep ties to Quaker abolitionists and courageous community members.

👩‍⚕️ A Pioneer Woman in Medicine

Home to one of the area’s first female doctors — breaking barriers in a time when women rarely held such roles.

💔 Socialites, Divorce & Murder

From prominent families to short-lived lives and unexpected tragedies, these are the human stories behind the historic facades.

👻 A Few Favorite Ghost Stops

We’ll revisit a couple of our most talked-about paranormal locations — because history and hauntings sometimes walk hand in hand.

This is not just a ghost tour.

This is a walk through documented drama, resilience, scandal, and mystery — the stories that shaped Waynesville.

If you love true crime, fascinating small-town history, and uncovering what lies beneath the headlines… this tour is for you.

Join P3 and step into the stories Waynesville once printed for the world to read.

Heavenly Bodies

August 29, 2025 By Amanda Delotelle

Dayton’s own, Dirt Words presents Heavenly Bodies, an immersive theatrical experience! Brace yourself for a night of terror and titillation. Immersive theatre blurs the lines between audience and performance. Here, everyone is a part of the story.

Once upon a time in 1962, there was a lonely house tucked deep in the forest. The closest evidence of civilization only found on thinly paved country roads. It once served as a boarding house for those in need; those downtrodden and suffering with vices far too taboo for the quiet Christian towns they came from. This house was a sanctuary for those lost souls searching for a chance to be found again. At first it was celebrated by the larger community of the neighboring village but when strange rumors began to surface of bizarre goings on within, opinions shifted. Then something terrible happened; 6 people wound up missing– all tenants of Birch House. Stories of lust, loss, and mortal sin were whispered between neighbors, but no one knows exactly what happened on this desolate property. Some say that if you listen closely, you can still hear the moans of orgasms echoing from the past…

Staying true to the Dirty Words literary nature, Heavenly Bodies is inspired by literature and storytelling taken directly from real vintage Penthouse letters, extremist erotic pros from the French poet Pierre Louys, and a little bit of blasphemy straight from the Bible for good measure. We take what we read and spin those stories into a fully fleshed world. One you will likely become completely lost within. Let yourself be whisked away into the world of the Dead. Do not expect a stage; do not even expect to remember who you are. Heavenly Bodies is a portal into worlds beyond The Viel. You will leave transformed.

Heavenly Bodies will run for two nights; October 31st and November 1st. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Must be 18+ to attend.

For the last 20 years, staff at the restaurant say that there are ghosts and apparitions that appear at all times of the day.

She is a playful spirit named Genevieve Ksiezopolski aka “Chickie.” Does she haunt the restaurant? Take for example this incident, where a cook claimed to see a full apparition of a lady in a long dress who walked into the room, then turned and walked away. When the frightened cook alerted the staff, they quickly pulled the security surveillance camera footage. CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT THEY SAW ON THE SECURITY CAMERA.

As many of you may know, The Amber Rose is supposedly a haunted venue. The ghost is believed to be the daughter of the former house owner. She is a playful ghost named Genevieve Ksiezopolski aka “Chickie.” Employees have many stories of glasses flying off of shelves, lights being turned on and even the appearance of a poltergeist. Take for example this case, where a cook claimed to see a full apparition of a lady in a long dress who walked into the room, then turned and walked away. When the frightened cook alerted the staff, they quickly pulled the security surveillance camera footage. What they saw at the same time the cook claimed to encounter the ghost was this: click to see video

That’s right, Big Ragu and the Crew have the inside scoop on the The Amber Rose.

HERE’S THE SKINNY:

— The building was built in 1912 by Sigmunt Ksiezopolski and was a general store through the 1980’s

— In 1989 Elinor Sluzas bought the building and opened the Amber Rose a year later. The menu was her own Lithuanian recipes, and her twists on Eastern European favorites.

— Named Amber Rose for the Amber jewels mined in Lithuania and Northern Europe, and Rose symbolizing love and compassion.

— in 1998, owner Joe Castellano bought the restaurant, and still uses Elinor’s recipes. The entire staff is very friendly.

— Practically every item is homemade. This is a restaurant that does things the way it should be… from scratch. If it isn’t made ‘in-house,’ it is bought from local vendors.

— The Amber Rose does a lot of catering for business events, weddings, etc. In fact, it is the largest part of their business.

— Banquet Room upstairs, and a meeting room as well, allows an option for wedding receptions, or a private Food Adventure (stay tuned)

HERE’S THE SCARY:

Longtime Server Aimee who shared the ghost video with Amber Rose Owner Joe Castellano

— The Amber Rose and its story appear in the book “Haunted Ohio III”

— The daughter of the original owner of the building is said to haunt the main level and upstairs of Amber Rose. Her name is Genevieve Ksiezopolski, and is also known as “Chickie.”

— Long time waitress Aimee has witnessed glasses flying off the shelves

— Owner Joe Castellano has seen lights and fans turned on in the upstairs office, after he had turned them off.

— One of the restaurant cooks claimed to have seen the ghostly apparition of Genevieve aka “Chickie.” He says the spirit was in front of him, then lifted up her ruffled dress slightly, and walked out of the room. Now comes the unexplainable part…. There are security cameras throughout the restaurant including the kitchen. When the management heard the cook’s story, they decided to pull up the surveillance tape. What they saw was a small, bright, white orb enter, circle and leave the room at the same exact time the cook said he saw the ghost. Eerie.. Is it proof of a ghost, or just a coincidence?

HERE IS THE VIDEO: YOU BE THE JUDGE –

— Paranormal investigators visit the restaurant each year and claim that a second ghost, named Richard, inhabits the basement.

MUST EATS:

— DELUXE POTATO PANCAKES: This appetizer is covered in cheddar-jack cheese, bacon and scallions. The crispy circles are and served with sour cream, for a rich indulgence you wont soon forget.

— ELINOR’S SIGNATURE TURTLE SOUP: An amazing must eat! If you have never had turtle soup, don’t be afraid. It is a cross between vegetable soup and chili. We challenge anyone to try a cup and tell us it is not delicious.

— PIEROGI & ONIONS: This “old country” favorite is a rarity in Dayton. Amber Rose does it right. Homemade pierogi dumplings with sauteed onions, served with a side of cream cheese. If you have never had pierogies, they are dumplings filled with potato. It makes for a rich, filling comfort food, and a favorite in Poland.

— THE TRADITIONAL REUBEN: Stacked high with thinly sliced corn beef, the sandwich is then topped with sauerkraut. Condiments slapped on include 1000 island dressing and swiss cheese. The finishing touch is grilling the rye bread. A Food Adventure on a plate, indeed.

— THE WARSAW MEDLEY: This dish features four of the restaurants specialties. First, the CABBAGE ROLLS, which are one of the best selling items at the restaurant. The dish also features a sausage link, HOMEMADE SAUSAGE, so it is the real deal! Thirdly, the SAUERKRAUT. Now listen, we are picky on our sauerkraut and The Big Ragu says this sweet recipe is the best sauerkraut he has ever eaten. It is a Lithuanian spin on German Sauerkraut, and has less of a “sour bite.”

Like Reuben Sandwiches? Try The Amber Rose version on for size….

— THE HUNTER SCHNITZEL SANDWICH: Hand breaded with pretzels.. need we say more? The pork loin is then golden fried, and served on a hoagie bun with lettuce, tomato, onion and dark mustard. Opt for the Hunter Dinner instead, served with no bread, but covered in a creamy mustard sauce.. all homemade !

— ANNUAL “OKTOBERFEST”: During the month of October, your first draft beer is 10 cents, and the ones after are $1.50.

Honorable Mention: Two other favorites include the Polish Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms and the German Bier Cheese Dip served with pretzels and rye bread.

We recommend stopping by this incredible unique and lovable restaurant. Become enchanted by the old world menu, and the savory dishes. The food is complimented by the atmosphere of stained glass accent windows and tin ceilings for a European Cafe feel.

Get some spirits at the bar and maybe say hello to the spirit known as “Chickie.” Remember, roses are amber, violets are blue, eat the delicious food and you may get a BOO! Happy Halloween, Foodies !
