Biography
The Ghost of Uniondale
Ria's death gave rise to a South African ghost story, commonly refered to as The Ghost of Uniondale. As with most legends of this kind the stories change as they are retold and care should be taken to distinguish fact from fiction.
The ghost story has appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines, made into a TV documentary and is the basis of the Anton Goosen song Blommetjie gedenk aan my.
