White Witch of Rose Hall

By -



Annie Palmer arrived in Jamaica from England in the 18th century. She married a landowner and became the mistress of a large plantation. The reason why she became so cruel is unknown but she ruled the plantation with an iron fist, punishing her slaves with public whippings, torture in her dungeon or death. 

 Eventually she started to sleep with the male slaves. Her slave lovers were doomed though. When she grew bored of them she would murder them while they slept and it wasn’t long before her husband shared the same fate. Out of boredom she demanded that her slaves teach her voodoo. Annie then took to threatening them with black and sacrificing babies to use their bones for spells.

The overseer of the plantation was a voodoo user himself and when Annie started sleeping with his daughter’s fiancé he started to worry for the young man’s fate. When the daughter’s fiancé was murdered the overseer decided that he had had enough and killed Annie. He placed her body in a specially prepared grave that had been primed with voodoo rituals and markings.

The plantation is now haunted by several spirits. The main one being Annie herself, along with the many slaves who had died on the plantation grounds. Annie’s ghost has been known to attack intruders to the plantation and has been seen riding a black horse through the grounds, brandishing a whip at whoever crosses her path. 

Whispering voices have been heard coming from the dungeon along with footsteps, tapping sounds and the screams of crying babies. Old music sounds from the main hall with no apparent source and the lights in the plantation turn on and off on their own. The strangest part of all is the mirror in the house that displays ghostly faces when a photograph of it is taken.
Location: Rose Hall Road, Montego Bay, Jamaica
