JAMAICA - White Witch of Rose Hall, Annie Palmer


Annie was born in Paris and moved to the beautiful island of Jamaica. She was to marry a powerful man who owned Rose Hall and thousands of acres of sugar plantation.

According to legend, she was a beautiful but spoiled young white woman who arrived on the island east of Montego Bay in 1820. Perhaps out of boredom, Annie started taking slaves to her bed. When she lavished her attentions on a slave, that man's days were numbered. After Annie grew tired of her lover, she would murder him and have him buried in an unmarked grave. We know little of her first husband, John Palmer, except that she murdered him in his bed as well. Perhaps he caught her in the act, or maybe she just tired of him too. The legend has her murdered in her bed during the slave uprisings of the 1830s.

The spirit of Annie Palmer still haunts Rose Hall, along with a host of other spirits... presumably those of her victims.

I live in Montenegro, town called Herceg Novi and area called Boka Bay. Boka bay is among the loveliest in the world. It consists of four connected straits. It is all surrounded by steep cliffs that mirror in blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. We have many legends in Boka Bay but it is difficult to make bimbo based on most of them. I choose one that is among my favourites and it is called The banishment of Alkima. According to legend, Alkima was not a godess but she lived in Greece together with Gods and they enjoyed her accompany beacouse of her extraordinary beauty. One day she said to God of the sea, Poseidon ... I am God here and not you. People look at me and not you. They notices me everywhere I go, and nobody notices you. Poseidon got very mad and he banished her barefoot, in her dress, to the distance country, to the Boka Bay. Since then, she is wondering around, doing only good things to people, helping them, hoping that one day Poseidon is going to bring her back in Greece.

My bimbo is SNOW WHITE from the fantasy story snow white and the seven dwarfs. She had an evil step mother who wanted her killed because of snow whites beauty, but to her rescue came seven dwarfs!

I'm from Canada which doesn't really have a legendary and/or mythical creature, so I chose the Succubus which is a common legend in Europe and Asia. "A succubus (plural succubi) is a demon who takes the form of a beautiful woman to seduce men, especially monks, in dreams to have sexual intercourse, according to the medieval European legend. In Sri Lanka and other Buddhist cultures, the succubus is named as "Mohini", where she would wait on the road with a white dress with a baby and ask for men's help." -Wikkipedia

Dryads are tree nymphs in Greek mythology. In Greek drys signifies 'oak,' thus dryads are specifically the nymphs of oak trees, though the term has come to be used for all tree nymphs in general.

Legolas, from Lord of The Rings. He's an Elf from the Woodland Realm. He is a member of the Fellowship of the ring. He 's tall brave and warm-hearted

I chose Cinderella. Since there are no gloves....the  fur is acting as her accessory. I was always read this fairlytale at bedtime..that is why I chose her.

I am from the USA

Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall. A legend of my country: Jamaica



Annie Palmer, born in France had moved to Jamaica where she married John Palmer, the owner of a booming sugar plantation called the Rose Hall Great House. It is believed that she killed her husband in his bed, as well as her 2nd and 3rd husbands.
Annie was feared by the slaves because of her ruthlessness. Due to this, some of the slaves taught her the art of voodoo (or obeah as it is referred to in Jamaica). She was a well known 'obeah woman' throughout the island, and she took pleasure in making young slave men her lovers, but only for a short period of time, as she would kill them after a while.
Some of the practices Annie Palmer was involved in included horrors such as human sacrifice, particularly in children, and she used their bones for her black magic. She became well known as the 'White Witch of Rose Hall' as she was a white woman who practiced black magic, and owned Rose Hall Plantation.
Legend has it that she was finally killed by one of her slaves who was stronger in the art than she was. It is said that she wasn't aware of his powers or practice in magic, and he used this advantage to avenge the death of a slave he wanted for his son-in law.
Today, the Rose Hall Great House is a popular tourist attraction, and people believe it to be haunted by former slaves, and even Annie Palmer herself.

I am from the USA and my bimbo is the female legend Annie Oakley.



"Her name was Phoebe Moses and she was born in Darke County, Ohio in 1860 and she could shoot the head off a running quail when she was twelve years old.
Once, at the invitation of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, she knocked the ashes off a cigaret he was holding in his mouth.

When she out-shot the great exhibition marksman, Frank Butler, he fell in love with her and they were ideally happy the rest of their long lives.

She could handle a rifle or a six-gun with an artistry unsurpassed by that of any human being before her time or, probably, since. And when she appeared with Sitting Bull and other notables in Colonel Cody's Wild West Show, she thrilled your father and mother -- not as Phoebe Anne Oakley Moses but as "Little Sure Shot," the immortal Annie Oakley."
