Woman left baffled after stumbling across Michael Jackson shrine during property search

A stunned house hunter decided to dodge making an offer on a £300,000 house - after discovering one of the bedrooms had been turned into a Michael Jackson shrine.

Business owner Olivia Stone was checking out properties online when she stumbled across the bizarre tribute to the late King of Pop in Sutton, Surrey.

In one of the property's three bedrooms Olivia spotted an entire wall plastered with posters featuring the singer sporting a variety of looks.

The 24-year-old said she was confused why the posters hadn't been removed.

Although Olivia admits to liking some of MJ's songs, she believes the room would put her off as it gave her "bad vibes".

Three years ago the documentary Leaving Neverland, which detailed claims that Jackson sexually abused two children, was released.

London-based estate agents McHugh & Co. described the terraced property as "requiring modernisation" but made no reference to Jacko-themed room.

Olivia, from Guildford, Surrey, said: "I was just browsing, seeing what was on the market, I currently rent so I was looking at house prices in my area.

"I found it pretty strange but quite funny. The rest of the house looks pretty run down so this one Michael Jackson room was even creepier considering the state of the place.

"It doesn't look lived in so I don't see why the estate agents wouldn't take the creepy fan art down before taking the pictures but maybe they're just trying to attract MJ fans.

"I'm not a big fan of Michael Jackson but I like some of his stuff. It would put me off, it gives me bad vibes.

"It's both creepy and completely odd. It looks like a child's room.

"The wallpaper is peeling but a lot of planning has gone into this shrine which gives off major unhinged vibes."
