Rose Hall
The Rose Hall Great House is one of Jamaica's most popular
tourist attractions, particularly because of the Gothic horror
legend surrounding the monstrous reign of the last mistress to live
in the house. Stunningly beautiful Annie Palmer, known latterly as
the 'White Witch of Rose Hall', was murdered in 1831, but not
before she had rid herself of three husbands (allegedly by using
voodoo magic). Annie herself was killed during a slave uprising on
the estate, brought about by her battle with a slave girl for the
love of the estate supervisor. The house, originally built in 1780,
was abandoned after her death, but has now been restored. A gift
shop and pub are in operation in the dungeon, where the white witch
is said to have imprisoned and tortured slave victims.
