Eerie Encounters

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.

We may have found something that creeps Nic out - Aliens and UFOs! This one is a long episode but Sarah does a deep dive into the strange and unexplained sightings that have been spotted in the air, and it is not just from drunk Dave on the Basingstoke Canal! Listen if you dare but Sarah may be a little traumatised after researching, recording and editing this episode.

We are going back underground but this time with trains! Delve into the subterranean goings on. Millions of people have passed through the stations associated with network and the environment itself is spooky.

This is a long episode. Nicole got a little carried away with the history of the underground because she found it fascinating.

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 05:00:59 GMT

Come underground with us to the London Tombs. A plague pit was discovered on the site after some building work for Cross rail now known as HS2. This tourist attraction is not for the faint of heart with paranormal activity, shadowy figures and poltergeist activity this surely has to be on the list of places to visit.
