The Rose Hall Great House was built in the late 18th century in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and was the home of Annie Palmer, a gruesome character who was particularly brutal toward both enslaved people who lived there and a succession of husbands. Some believe she haunts the manor to this day. Her nickname is the "White Witch of Rose Hall."
