Focused on Mississippi: Haunted House in Florence
SUMMARY: A home in Florence, Mississippi, built in 1990, is said to be haunted. The owner, Alice Jackson, recalls a contractor warning them about stolen equipment during construction. Strange light anomalies, including a bright column of light, have been witnessed, causing Jackson to no longer stay overnight. The house is now constantly recorded, with odd occurrences happening primarily when no one is present. Paranormal investigators have confirmed the presence of intelligent spirits in the house. The house has gained national recognition in paranormal circles, making Jackson less of an outcast in her community.
