A royal retreat built for love, grief… and secrets that refuse to stay buried.

In this episode of Eerie Encounters, Nic and Sarah step inside Osborne House, the grand Isle of Wight residence once adored by Queen Victoria — and the place where her world ultimately fell apart.

By day, Osborne House is a symbol of wealth, family, and Victorian elegance.

By night, it tells a very different story.

Visitors and staff have long whispered of unexplained footsteps echoing through empty corridors, phantom figures drifting through shuttered rooms, and the overwhelming sense of being watched — especially in areas once occupied by the Queen herself. Some believe Victoria never truly left the house she loved so deeply, while others speak of shadowy presences, cold spots, and doors that move on their own.

Is Osborne House simply steeped in history…

—or is something still lingering within its walls?

Join us as we explore the tragic past, chilling eyewitness accounts, and the paranormal reputation of one of Britain’s most iconic royal homes.

🎙️ I’m Nic…

🎙️ And I’m Sarah…

👻 And this is Eerie Encounters.

Stay safe… and stay spooky.
