The night air over northern Jamaica tightens as your driver pulls up the tree-lined drive to Rose Hall; palms and wind-whipped grasses lean like witnesses as you step from an air-conditioned vehicle into a history that still moves. Inside the Great House, the story of Annie Palmer — the so-called White Witch — threads through dim corridors, portraits that follow your step and floorboards that creak under the weight of remembered deeds. The house dares you to listen.
