Miss Stephanie Crawford is the neighborhood gossip throughout the novel. The majority of the information the children receive about Boo Radley at the beginning of the novel come from Miss Crawford. Miss Crawford claims that she knows Boo's entire story. She tells them Boo's family history and several stories that depict Boo Radley as an insane individual. One story includes how Boo stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors and then casually continued clipping newspaper articles out of the paper. She told Jem that the sheriff didn't have the heart to send him to jail, so they locked him in the courthouse basement. These rumors fuel the children's imaginations and lead them to believe that Boo Radley is a monster-like character with evil intentions.
