Coco Chanel’s creepy abandoned Scots mansion leaves urban explorer 'on edge'

A YouTuber has filmed himself staying overnight in Coco Chanel's abandoned mansion in the Scottish Highlands. The property, known as Rosehall House, has housed some big names in the past, including Sir Winston Churchill, but after being deserted for a number of years, the property has seen better days.

Matt, 42, a full-time YouTuber, posted his first experience inside the mansion, near Lairg, Sutherland, and was left with an uneasy feeling. But he was urged by his viewers to go back and spend the night there.

After hearing weird noises and having a feeling he was being watched, Matt knew he was in for a restless night. He said: "I was on edge from the second I got out the car and the anxiety built with every second of my stay.

"I heard what sounded like someone dragging something across the floor and it sent shivers down my spine, leaving me with chicken skin. I was tempted to leave but I thought, no, I'm here now so I may as well Rambo it.

"I love the history of this place, thinking iconic people such as Coco Chanel and Winston Churchill have walked the same corridors and slept in the bedrooms. I heard so many noises, from tapping on walls to what sounded like something large being dragged across the main room floor.

"If I thought this place was spooky in the daylight, it was next level scary at night time.

"I was appalled by the amount of vandalism, theft, and damage since the last time I visited. I wish people could just enjoy these places instead of ruining them."
