Scholar relates ghostly tales we may all believe

Canton Observer, October 12, 1992

This is both a write up of Gundella's book Michigan Haunts and Hauntings (full and free e-book) and a short bio of Tim Richards' experiences with the witchy one. Having hired her to write for the Observer he also later counted her as a friend and eulogized her when she passed in 1993. At the time of this writing she had been diagnosed with cancer and was in the final months of her life. That fact didn't stop her from carrying on her work which also included a book about Minnie Quay which she worked on up to her death but never completed. The manuscript was supposed to be completed by relatives but apparently that never materialized for whatever reasons.

One interesting aspect is in the highlighted quote underneath Richard's photo in the article that states, "But Gundella the Witch - ah, she was different. Before I met her, I wondered if she were into devil worship. Never! Although she tells me there are such covens in the wealthiest section of Oakland County."
