Dimbola Lodge Home of Julia Margaret Cameron Haunted...




        

An episode of Haunted History investigating Dimbola Lodge, home of nineteenth-century pioneer photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron on the Isle of Wight. About twenty minutes in length this video shows the inside of the home which is now a museum. You will see Mrs. Cameron's piano with a book on top of it which was her piano that she owned and played all the time. You will also see her upstairs bedroom as well as her numerous photographs on the wall. So, please pay close attention as you watch it. Here is your chance to visit her home on the Isle of Wight!

 Julia Margaret Cameron photographed by Oscar Gustave Rejlander in 1863 playing her Erridge Piano. Is it the same one in the video?

The white building is Dimbola Lodge, Isle of Wight, UK

Hello Kimberly,

I once stayed in a grand old house just like this on the Isle of Wight.
Whilst staying there I had a ghostly experience. Although ghostly it was a very pleasant moment.

Kind regards

My wife and I visited Dimbola and the nearby Farringford (Tennyson's home) on our tenth wedding anniversary. What a wonderful day that was! The walk over the down to the Tennyson memorial and then onto the Needles and Alum Bay is also wonderful. Thanks for all your informative and fascinating articles

Hi WoofWoof, what a beautiful way to spend your tenth wedding anniversary. I hope to visit both one day and I'm definitely taking that walk. It would be incredible to walk the same steps as Tennyson did! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to visit and leave a comment.
