Rose Hall Great House

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

The stately Rose Hall Great House rests on a grassy plantation near Montego Bay. The plantation home was built in the late 1700s, when Jamaica was on its way to becoming the world’s leading sugarcane producer. The three-story Georgian edifice comes complete with the ghost of former mistress Annie Palmer, the legendary "White Witch," a voodoo priestess who supposedly killed off three husbands and took a series of slaves as lovers.
