A seemingly normal Baltimore home listing with a dark secret has attracted more than half a million views.

The property features a dramatic Gothic interior with spiderweb staircases, crucifixes and horror themed decor. The $225,000 one-bed, one-bathroom house even comes with it's own 'cemetery and crypt' in the backyard.

Virtually the entire home sticks to theme in black and white - including in the bedroom which features a mirrored ceiling over the bed.

The color scheme even runs to the current owners' support of his favorite football team with several black and white signed jerseys of the west coast based Oakland Raiders framed on the walls.

The shirts of quarterback Ken 'Snake' Stabler, safety Jack Tatum, receiver Tim Brown and center Jim Otto are arranged in the shape of a cross on the kitchen wall.

The home belongs to Billy Nicholson when his mother left him the property in 2014.

'It's basically my twisted imagination coming to life,' the 54-year-old said to the Baltimore Sun.

The house was initially more 'gingerbread' in style but then Nicholson suddenly settled on a theme.

'I was working in Virginia one day, and I seen the cemetery gates leaning up against the barn of an old mom-and-pop shop,' he said. 'And that's more or less what gave me the idea. Let's do cemetery gates.'

He then went on to buy headstones from a cemetery and even a hearse for the garage.

'Whoever walks around the backyard, when they see the garage, they're going to be blown away,' he said.

Nicholson is a big Raiders fan and will often try to make it out west to see them in a game at least once a year.

He's selling up to move into his fiancee's place where there is more space. However, he says he believes his mother would have liked the home.

'Everything was off the top of my head,' he said. 'You're not going to find any place like it.'

The living room features comfy black leather couches and armchairs but who could ignore the black coffin in the corner together with a cross where a television might normally be situated?

Some creepy pictures adorn the walls including a framed black and white photo of a guillotine, a sculpture of a demonic monk appears to be breaking through the plaster, another picture of a scene from the horror movie The Ring, while the twins from the 1980 psychological horror film, The Shining, look on.

When it comes to furnishings, soft black carpet runs throughout the home apart from in the hallway and kitchen where grey patterned tiles take precedent.

Also in the in kitchen, both the stove and microwave are clad in black with a couple of spooky skeleton prints on the wall just to remind you whose house you're in.

In other parts of the home, vases of black flowers sit on miniature coffin shelves, while glimpses of an outdoor 'graveyard' can be seen through a side window.

Upstairs, a landing area sees a cobwebbed metal banister line the staircase to the first floor.

Mirrors sit on the walls while a bright red cushion stands out in a welcome splash of color on a painted black wooden church pew.

The new owner needs to love their reflection but will definitely find comfort in the fact there's no chance whatsoever of any vampires entering the bedroom with a five-mirrored ceiling that stretches up and over the bed, complete with crucifix's.

Downstairs a basement level room appears dungeon-like with the black furnishings lining the place.

Two more comfy leather chairs are perfectly placed in front of a widescreen TV.

Outside, the theme continues with a presumably mock cemetery complete with wrought iron gates, tombstones and crosses.

The garage is termed 'the crypt' while an outhouse is adorned with an enormous ominous skeleton mural.

More cobwebs can be seen on the ceiling of an outdoor bar area and across the black door to the shed, but don't try and clean them away, it's all part of the inspired design of this unique home.
