Yunker Farm house

The Story

Accounts from the former children’s museum describe a friendly female presence, nicknamed Vanessa or identified with Elizabeth Yunker. Staff reported feeling accompanied upstairs, locked terrace doors becoming unlocked, and the lift moving without passengers. The house’s museum years shaped the idea of a protective presence watching over visiting children.
