Summary
Strange noises, shadow people, and being physically attacked are not things anyone seeks out in a new home. In the winter of 2012, Hunter and Jenny Scott found all this and more in their new country home just outside Rockford, Alabama. They thought they had found the perfect fixer-upper. What they really stumbled into was an experience that would later be titled The Rockford Haunting.
The murderous story and connections experienced by this family were so unique that many years earlier, the famous author Harper Lee began penning a now infamous unpublished work on it. What dark past did this home hide? What did the spirits of the deceased want? We discuss all of this and more with paranormal investigator Kim Johnson, who helped the family through this very difficult and extreme time in their life. This is Part Two of our conversation.
