White Witch of Rose Hall, Museum in Montego Bay, Jamaica

Rose Hall is a Georgian-style mansion built in the 1770s and restored in the 1960s, now a museum furnished with European antiques, silk wallpaper, and chandeliers. Its grounds include a stone tomb with a rectangular masonry base and a rounded, barrel-shaped slab, marked by a white painted cross on the front face.

The estate was built in the 1770s as the center of a sugar plantation with hundreds of enslaved workers. After decades of decay, it was rebuilt in the 1960s and opened to visitors.

The legend says Annie Palmer, born in Haiti to an English mother and Irish father, learned voodoo from her nanny, then married John Palmer of Rose Hall and killed him, two later husbands and many enslaved workers before a slave named Takoo killed her. Johnny Cash recorded "The Ballad of Annie Palmer" and long owned nearby Cinnamon Hill Great House.

Rose Hall stands on a hill above the coast east of Montego Bay, reached by the coastal road; the grounds are entered on foot, and the tomb sits on pale cobblestones edged by trees and grass. Day tours cover the house, while evening visits centre on the ghost stories. The upstairs rooms are reached by stairs.

The upstairs windows offer a wide view over the Caribbean Sea and the former sugar fields stretching to the coast. Small stone openings are set into the walls, once used by owners to observe enslaved people and visitors.
