The Rose Hall Great House: A Haunted Place In Montego Bay, Jamaica

PinterestRose Hall is considered one of the most haunted places in the world, thanks to the infamous “White Witch.”

The most famous house in Jamaica, Rose Hall Great House is a Georgian mansion that was built in the 1770s. The paranormal activity that abounds in this house is credited to the legend of Annie Palmer, a.k.a. the White Witch.

Annie Palmer was a voodoo practitioner who arrived in 1820. During her time there, she brutally killed her three husbands, various lovers, and slaves.

According to legend, Palmer moved to Jamaica in the early 1800s in search of a wealthy husband. She locked down the owner of the Rose Hall Estate, John Palmer, and not long after the pair had married, she poisoned him.

She repeated this pattern of marrying and killing her husbands twice more. Palmer also ruled over the plantation savagely, torturing, beating, and killing anyone on the property who went against her.

Eventually, Palmer was murdered in her sleep by one of her enslaved lovers, Takoo, after she killed one of his family members. Takoo was a voodoo practitioner as well and performed a ritual to keep Palmer in her grave, apparently fearing an attack from her even after her death.

However, the ritual was never completed and the rumors say that her spirit still roams the home’s grounds to this very day.

Her ghost has been captured in various tourist photos over the years. But even those who don’t see her claim to feel her presence. Other ghostly manifestations in the house include hurried footsteps, whispers in the dungeon, faces in the mirror, babies crying, and tapping on the walls.
