The White Witch of Rosehall Legend
According to the legend, the spirit of "Annie Palmer" haunts the grounds of Rose Hall Plantation near Montego Bay.
The story records her birth in
England to an English mother and Irish father and spent most of her life
in Haiti. When her parents died of yellow fever, she was adopted by a
nanny who taught her witchcraft and voodoo. She moved to Jamaica and
married John Palmer, owner of Rose Hall Plantation. Annie allegedly
murdered Palmer, two subsequent husbands and numerous male
plantation slaves. She was murdered herself by a slave named
"Takoo".
A song about her legend called "The Ballad of Annie Palmer" was
recorded by Johnny Cash - https://www.facebook.com/
