The bedroom is said to be haunted by the spirit of the young girl from the 1890s, who is believed to have been one of the daughters of the original owners of the home. She has black hair and wears a yellow dress.

A peaceful spirit, she is sometimes seen walking the grounds at night, softly humming lullabies and walking with a slight limp. She has a tendency to hide pairs of eyeglasses so you might want to keep an eye on yours so they don’t go missing.
