THE WHITE WITCH OF ROSE HALL
THERE WAS ONCE A WOMAN WHO WAS CALLED THE WHITE WITCH OF ROSE HALL.
SHE WAS CALLED THIS BECAUSE HER HAIR AND SKIN WAS VERY WHITE AND
AT NIGHT SHE WOULD RIDE AMOUNG THE SLAVES DRESSED IN WHITE AND ON
A WHITE HORSE TO FRIGHTEN THEM. SHE WAS MISTRESS OF A BIG
PLANTATION AND WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE KILLED FOUR OF HER FIVE
HUSBANDS. SHE HERSELF WAS KILLED BY THE FIFTH WHEN HER FATHER
TOLD HIM WHAT SHE DID TO HER HUSBANDS. THE WHITE WITCH BURIED HER
HUSBANDS NEAR THE HOUSE AND PLANTED A COCONUT TREE ABOVE THEM.
IF YOU GO TO THE RUINS OF THAT PLANTATION YOU WILL SEE FIVE
COCOANUT TREES IN A ROW WITH NO OTHER TREES AROUND. SHE IS UNDER
ONE OF THEM.
Submitter comment:

(CATCH TALE)
Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.
I WAS HITCH-HIKING HOME ONE DAY AND THIS GUY IN A
SPORTS CAR PICKED ME UP. AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR OF
USUAL BULL-SHIT, THIS GUY SLID HIS HAND OVER ONTO MY
KNEE. I GAVE HIM A DIRTY LOOK AND REMOVED HIS HAND.
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, HE SLID HIS HAND OVER ONTO
MY KNEE AGAIN, AND I AGAIN REMOVED IT. WHEN HE DID IT
A THIRD TIME, I TOLD HIM TO STOP THE CAR, AS I WAS
GETTING OUT. AS I WAS GETTING OUT, HE PULLED THIS
SPRAY CAN OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT AND SAID IN HIS
MOST FAGGOT VOICE, "YOU SILLY BITCHES ARE ALL THE
SAME. AFTER THIS YOU'LL BE JUST LIKE ME" AND HE
SPRAYED THIS SHIT ON ME.
AND THIS IS THE SAME SWEATER I HAD ON THAT DAY, AND IT
STILL SMELLS RIGHT HERE (HE POINTS TO A SPOT ON HIS
CHEST). HERE SMELL IT. (AND AS THE GUY DOES, HE
KISSES THE GUY ON THE CHEEK.)
