“Where’s your husband, Annie, where’s number two and three? Are they sleeping neath the palms by the Caribbean Sea?” -- Johnny Cash
The historic Rose Hall, located near Montego Bay, is the most well-known great house in Jamaica. As the story goes, Annie Palmer, aka "The White Witch of Rose Hall", murdered each of her three husbands and countless slaves in this home, before meeting her own fate. It's been said that her spirit still haunts the property.
While it was gloomy on the day of my visit to Rose Hall, I didn't sense anything supernatural. However, I'm not sure my nerves would fare so well if I had participated in one of the night tours by candlelight.
Is Rose Hall haunted? Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself...
Perhaps Annie Palmer enjoyed a Red Stripe during her reign of terror?
Creepy painting. The eyes of the girl in red follow you!
