Jamaican roller coaster ride set

1:25
Have the history books got it twisted?

in and get ready to be spellbound with
1:51
us on Hysteria 51. They
1:54
say I'm disturbed. From
1:56
city to city, an incredible hysterical panic
1:58
spread. I'm here, Gary. Please
2:03
pull that clutch! This
2:05
is Gary. You can't handle
2:07
the truth! Spring is gone.
2:10
Is he still 51? I'm here!
2:14
The truth is out there. It's
2:16
alive! But you
2:18
won't find it here. They're coming for you.
2:22
Look, there comes one of them now. Welcome
2:25
in History Nation!
2:29
To an episode on History 51 that
2:31
takes place. Um... I've
2:34
seen it in my notes. Cbot, where does
2:36
this take place? Right near the
2:38
beach. Boi!
2:43
You got damn right it does. I'm
2:46
David Flora, you've been hand. Yo! Sorry, I'm
2:48
just laughing. That's a
2:50
robot. That's
2:53
a robot sans chud on the drop
2:55
buttons. Conspiracy Bot, how you
2:57
doing? What's going on? Where is Kyle?
3:00
It's all going according to plan. Kyle
3:02
is off doing my bidding, and the government
3:04
took my chud just as I wanted them to.
3:06
Alright, if you haven't been listening, conspiracy bot about
3:09
the device that could... transfer
3:11
matter. Or just
3:13
piss off David Flora. His
3:15
chud. Chronoharmonic unification device. Whatever.
3:18
Yeah, whatever's right in. He
3:20
brought us some... well, he brought back
3:22
some undesirables to the show. Left Florida
3:25
babysit the spawn of Goforth, which is
3:27
everyone's nightmare. And promptly had
3:29
his stolen... like Tesla
3:32
on his deathbed by some of the men
3:34
in black types as you will. That
3:37
pretty much brings it up to speed, right? I mean,
3:39
that sounds right to me. Yeah, right? All
3:41
part of the plan. Yeah, you already said
3:43
that. You will see. You will all see.
3:45
Unless I get bored. Noted. Back
3:47
to that beach drop from before.
3:50
Booooiiiiiiieeeeee. Ha ha ha ha. We
3:53
are headed to sunny, beautiful Jamaica today, and
3:55
my wife actually just got back from there
3:57
a few days ago. See you
3:59
as well. there with her mom for 10 days
4:03
and I was here slaving away
4:05

4:07
Flores I'm sorry Dave Flores is
4:09
the man that I'm referring to
4:12
familiar but
4:14

4:17

4:19

4:44
goes by these days your friends
4:46
Jamaica you ever been to the
4:48
no I know Jamaica anywhere
4:50
in the Caribbean
4:53
really really I'm also
4:55
you know you use the word Caribbean
4:57
instead of Caribbean or any other the
5:00
thousand pronunciations that I interchange
5:03
ad nauseam so that's
5:06
fun I don't know
5:08
if it's correct or not but from
5:11
my from what my understanding of it it
5:14
comes from the Carib tribe oh that
5:16
that lives around there they were the
5:19
native native Americans and Islanders
5:21
around that area so I always try
5:23
to just go with Caribbean there you
5:26
go using fucking science and
5:28
knowledge no one asked
5:30
you to I don't I
5:32
actually I haven't asked any of them if that's
5:35
correct we haven't been there too I understand why
5:37
we do go we go about
5:39
every year her and her mom went and it is
5:41
so I've been all over the Caribbean
5:45
and we've been to a lot of the places and
5:47
I gotta tell you Jamaica is from
5:49
my money the nicest people just
5:52
they're super nice you know the weather is kind of
5:54
the same no matter where you go but there they're
5:56
just they're super bubbly and you
5:58
know they have their own You know, they speak
6:00
their patois on the side, which is
6:03
fun. You know, we were kind of making fun of some
6:05
of that in the beginning, but it is fun
6:07
that they have their own dialects and stuff. And
6:10
it's a hodgepodge of other
6:12
languages, you know, all put together. It's a
6:14
lot of fun, and it's a
6:16
gorgeous place, and Montego Bay happens to be
6:18
where we usually go every time. Nice.
6:21
You're taking your advice from the old beach
6:23
boys. Yeah, boys.
6:27
If I was in Jamaica, and, well,
6:29
that sounds about right. Why
6:32
would I be wearing this hat? A lot
6:34
of mercy. I
6:36
feel like Jamaicans have the
6:39
most tolerance of white dudes like
6:41
us doing that action. Yeah. They're
6:43
like, oh, Jesus Christ. And that's,
6:45
you know, it's not saying much.
6:48
The bar's not that high, but
6:50
they are very kind. Yeah. You
6:53
know? Yeah. They can
6:55
say whatever they want. That's why. He's
6:57
like, yeah, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
7:01
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
7:03
Yeah. Wow. Another
7:06
coconut, please. There you go. That's how
7:08
it goes. Anyway, we're not here to talk
7:10
about the people per se. We're talking about a
7:12
white person, the white witch of Rose Hall.
7:16
Not to be confused with any Hall, any
7:18
Palmer. Very different
7:20
story. Or the brown lady of Rainham Hall.
7:22
Yeah. I wish. I
7:24
wish that like, why is there somebody be the
7:26
red, the white woman of this and the red
7:29
woman of that and the Brown stain of blah,
7:31
blah, blah. Yeah.
7:33
What'd you say? The,
7:35
the black pot, the
7:38
black pot, the fracked of our scenario hall.
7:42
That's what's coming up soon. I'm the show
7:44
to Mike your calendars. Uh,
7:47
so this is the story of
7:50
the Woot Woot Annie Palmer. And
7:53
this should come as no surprise, but a
7:56
Palmer's origins are clouded in mystery with
7:59
various accounts. providing conflicting
8:01
information because I don't know
8:03
if you know this, but records back in the
8:05
day fucking sucked, you know, uh,
8:08
quite a bit. And then you, you
8:10
get all this legends and stories
8:12
and stuff and it becomes murky
8:15
on top of murky on top of murky, you
8:17
know, so, but let's talk the
8:20
story. That's passed around what people
8:22
say, um, is, you know, what was
8:24
her life and the curse and all the things. So we're going to
8:26
break it down a little bit. We're going to do this in a
8:28
couple of different ways, but first, we're going to talk about, according
8:32
to this legend and according to it, she
8:34
was born in England in the early 19th
8:36
century and was sent to Haiti as a
8:38
child because of some wondrous
8:42
reason, uh, where she learned to
8:44
voodoo practices for her nanny as
8:46
you do. Uh,
8:48
we need to send this hated it. Hey,
8:51
hey, hey, some
8:55
versions of the tale suggest that Annie was
8:57
a mixed race heritage, adding
8:59
layers of complexity to her
9:02
identity and experiences, especially if she was
9:04
a slave owner, but they
9:06
called her the white witch. So we're just going to go with that because I
9:09
tend to think she was probably just a evil
9:11
white fucking broad. So, or not evil
9:13
at all, as we're going to find out it's
9:15
probably more the case. But Hey, that's, that's
9:18
a, you know, putting the cart before the horse. This
9:21
short, sorry, if I spoiled
9:23
that. Hey,
9:26
it's okay. Sure.
9:29
The sweet of it is that, uh, miss Palmer, Annie
9:31
arrived in Jamaica at a young age. She
9:34
eventually married John Palmer, the owner of
9:36
Rose Hall plantation. So it's not just
9:38
a clever name. And,
9:41
uh, it's a state of mind. Yeah. Rose
9:44
Hall was a sprawling estate with a
9:46
dark history as they tend to have
9:48
built on the backs of enslaved. Yeah,
9:51
not really enslaved Africans forced to work
9:53
in the sugar cane fields. So par
9:55
for the course at that time in
9:57
human Fox stain history. Bingo. Really? He's
10:00
spot on. It's a gorgeous area.
10:03
So I've passed the, I've never
10:05
done the tour because we always
10:07
have something going on. Well, you keep saying
10:09
we're going to do it, but the
10:11
plantation, everything, you know, the grounds, everything
10:14
is just gorgeous, you know. And
10:18
Andy's tenure at Rose Hall, well, it's, if
10:22
you believe the story, it's marked by
10:24
tales of cruelty, intrigue, violence. You
10:27
know, you can make up stuff for a
10:29
necromancy, you know, parcheesi. I mean, you can
10:31
say it and people go, yep, that's
10:33
how it goes. The recording
10:35
shares. Hi, we're here to
10:38
show you the ghost, but first we'd
10:40
like you to watch a short, short
10:43
video. Two hour video. So
10:48
according to local folklore, she was
10:50
a practitioner of dark magic. So
10:52
it was ever a practitioner of
10:54
light magic that gets remembered. And
10:57
I still had about that, but she
10:59
was supposedly doing voodoo rituals, wielding
11:02
her powers, paying control
11:04
over the plantation and its
11:06
inhabitants and not
11:08
just for fun and giggles. So
11:12
that's where we separate the poo poo from the yayays
11:14
or whatever you want to call it. And
11:16
supposedly she murdered her husbands and lovers
11:19
as well as countless slaves as you
11:21
do using poison,
11:23
witchcraft and other nefarious
11:25
means, because those are frowned upon even
11:28
in today's day and
11:30
age, witchcraft.
11:34
It sounds a lot like, what's
11:38
the one in New Orleans, the Larlie
11:41
mansion or whatever the man or warrior?
11:43
Oh, yeah, because far
11:46
be it from them to have to come up with
11:48
new stories all the time when they had to, you
11:51
know, shit on some woman. Hey, she was a woman
11:53
and she ended up owning land. Well, obviously she was
11:55
eagle. Eagle. She was an
11:57
eagle. She's a shifter.
12:00
Yeah, right? I mean, that's just kind of the
12:02
way it goes, man. Like, well, the man
12:04
died and she kept going. Let's
12:07
really shit on that, you know? Or not. Maybe
12:09
she was. I mean, women tend to be evil.
12:11
I know if you ask
12:14
my diary. Anyway, a night of
12:16
terror was... purportedly
12:18
came to an end when she was murdered
12:20
in her sleep by one of her enslaved
12:23
lovers, or by a
12:25
vengeful slave seeking justice for atrocities
12:27
she committed. You know, that
12:29
one's a choose your own adventure. We're going to get into that more.
12:32
And of course, because this is H-51, despite
12:34
her death, her spirit is said to haunt
12:36
Rose Hall to this day, with
12:38
numerous reports of paranormal activity and ghostly sightings.
12:41
I'm hoping that we can get Pecker
12:44
to go down there with his Ouija board and just
12:46
taunt her like he did. Come
12:49
on, you pussies. Move and I dare you. But
12:55
that'll have to be at a later date. So,
12:57
you know, that's the short and the sweet. If we're going
12:59
to break down, we're going to break down her life, things
13:03
she's accused of, and try to sort
13:05
fact from fiction. It is hard, but
13:07
we're going to tell you both sides of the
13:09
coin of the story, what do you want to
13:11
call it. And that's coming up on hysteria 51
13:14
right after this break. Nation,
13:24
what difficulties did you have with learning a new
13:26
language in school or whenever you did it? Did
13:28
you do it through textbooks or did you try
13:30
to use some weird
13:33
online thing? I know I took two
13:35
years in high school and two years
13:37
in college and I knew nothing. And
13:39
that's because I wasn't using something like
13:41
what we have been blessed to have
13:43
as a long time sponsor and we
13:46
use it Rosetta Stone. They're the most
13:48
trusted language learning program and it's available
13:50
on desktop or as an app. And
13:52
the reason why I enjoy doing it,
13:54
it immerses you in the language you
13:56
want to learn instead of just being
13:59
silly drills. a class you can sleep
14:01
through. I definitely use it.
14:03
I think it's really cool how they have the speech
14:05
recognition program on there. It gives you the feedback on
14:07
the pronunciation. Are you making fun of me because I
14:09
can never do that? That's what you're getting at right
14:11
now. It's like
14:13
what are you trying to do? Do it right. But
14:17
it is really cool. They've got all kinds of lessons. You can
14:19
do it offline. You don't even have
14:21
to be online for it. That is great because it's right there
14:23
in your pocket or at your home and you can do it.
14:25
You got 15 minutes. Let's go to town. Let's do it. You

14:39
a guy or a non-binary
14:42
and they're from somewhere else. Someone you
14:44
know who knows. Well if they're
14:46
in the one of the 25, Rosetta's gonna work for
14:48
you. You get lifetime access to all of that and

15:21
if you own a dog you'll want to listen up. There
15:23
are a lot of health issues that can pop up
15:25
with our four-legged friends these days and it almost seems
15:27
to be getting worse. This
15:30
exact issue prompted actress Katherine Heigl to
15:32
do a ton of research into improving
15:34
dogs health and she found that it
15:36
all came down to one thing. Their
15:38
food. Katherine's a huge lover
15:40
of dogs. In fact she has a rescue foundation
15:43
that has helped save over 16,000 pups and after
15:46
seeing so many health problems over
15:48
the years she looked into possible
15:50
causes and saw that the way
15:52
dog food is made can actually
15:54
create toxins that absolutely wreck our
15:56
companions health. After
15:58
Figuring out which Superfoods. Can be combined
16:00
and cooked at lower temps which can
16:03
keep the nutrients from breaking down. She.
16:05
Saw a marked difference in or pets health
16:07
and behavior and she's made a twenty minute
16:09
video explaining step by step how it works,
16:12
Now. I watch the video and I have
16:14
to say it makes total sense and I
16:17
love the way she breaks it all down
16:19
and how she truly cares about making something
16:21
of such high quality for not only her
16:23
own dogs, but dogs everywhere. using.

R I A. Ah
17:17
right, David. I like
17:19
the daytime. Ass. So what
17:21
are you Break down The real life a
17:23
power versus a legend for as the as
17:26
well as a Gm. Well.
17:28
You know, the actual life of any
17:30
palmer surprised Rise Significantly less documented and
17:33
more mundane than the legend subject is
17:35
owed. Say, that's just what Big Jamaica
17:37
wants you to think I might be
17:39
a how is. Com.
17:41
man and all find out
17:43
all about it and your
17:46
tourist dollars ear it's road
17:48
all that's a spot on
17:50
jamaican accent have the ability
17:52
with no a successor in
17:54
america oh who wants to
17:56
see the goes that is
17:58
dead broad oh football Oh,
18:00
you guys want to eat
18:02
some jerk chicken? Whoa. Maybe
18:07
a blood day. All right. So the
18:10
legend has been embellished over the years, which
18:12
means mixing historical facts of folklore, and
18:15
that makes it difficult to separate truth
18:17
from fiction. But does that
18:19
stop us, Brim? It sure doesn't. Sure
18:22
as hell doesn't. Make shit up if we need to,
18:24
you know. Here's what's
18:26
generally understood about her life based
18:28
on historical records in the scrutiny
18:31
of historians. Yeah. So we're doing it a little
18:33
bit backwards or different is we're, we're telling you
18:35
probably the truth before we tell you the, uh,
18:38
the fun stuff, the legends. The, the
18:40
truth with an oomla. We're
18:43
telling you the truth before we actually tell you the
18:45
truth. Um,
18:47
so Annie Palmer was indeed a real
18:49
person who lived in Jamaica during the
18:51
early 19th century. Where did you say
18:53
that she lived once again? Where
18:55
was that? Right near the beach. Bye.
19:03
She had a beautiful hat. She
19:06
was born in 1802 in
19:09
Ingleland, likely to a family
19:11
of modest means. But
19:13
little is known about her early years,
19:15
including her family background and upbringing. She
19:18
may have been of English descent
19:21
with some accounts suggesting she had,
19:23
um, Irish ancestry as well. Well, get
19:26
out the chains and whipper then Jesus.
19:29
I mean, how can she hot someone where she
19:31
doesn't have a soul? Oh, I'm sorry. I
19:35
didn't get a physical description there. I didn't know
19:38
she was a ginger. Um,
19:41
the details of Annie's early life,
19:43
like we said, murky, but, um,
19:47
we don't have very much concrete evidence to
19:49
support the more fantastical elements of the story,
19:52
such as her upbringing by
19:54
a Haitian voodoo priestess. So
19:57
that means these aspects were probably.
20:00
added to her story later to
20:02
enhance the legend. David,
20:04
you were raised by a Haitian voodoo priestess.
20:07
How did Europe bring in compare to that it's
20:09
said to be about Andes? I mean, do you
20:11
see parallels or was it just completely different? It
20:15
sounds like she had a pretty good time
20:17
of it. I mean, I got beat incessantly.
20:20
Well, not so much you as the voodoo
20:22
doll of you, but you know, vis-a-vis. Right,
20:25
exactly. Ow!
20:30
Stop giving a cat my voodoo doll! I'm
20:34
so sympathetic to other people now because
20:36
of all that sympathetic magic. Yeah. Anyway,
20:42
Andes' life became more documented upon
20:44
her marriage to John Palmer, a
20:47
wealthy plantation owner in 1820. Oh,
20:50
he's rich. Let's write that down. That's
20:53
right. Someone owned at the Rose Hall
20:55
Plantation. I get
20:57
a sprawling estate in Montego Bay,
20:59
Jamaica, where he grew sugar cane
21:02
and other crops like...
21:05
He's saying something so
21:07
different. He grew sugar
21:09
cane and other crops.
21:13
Jesus, we
21:16
got to do another episode on those other crops. Why don't you
21:18
keep going, my friend? The
21:21
marriage likely provided Annie with considerable
21:23
wealth and social status, as well
21:25
as control over the operations of
21:27
the plantation across
21:29
the nation. Yeah, yeah. Well, and you
21:32
got to think about that as she's
21:34
mistress of this Rose Hall plantation. So
21:37
she'd overseen the daily management of the plantation and
21:40
supervision of enslaved laborers.
21:44
So you know, if you're not the
21:46
best of heart or if you're just used to that, it's
21:50
easy to be possible. Not when David... Nope.
21:53
I'm sorry, Dave Flores is on the
21:55
gig. He's on it. Dave
21:58
Flores of... That was
22:00
on top of the desert fame? Yeah, that's
22:02
right. Out
22:05
now on Apple TV and... On
22:08
Pearvision and Amazon,
22:11
Dooko, and I don't know, you can find
22:13
it, just Google it. Just bing it, just
22:15
bing it. Go
22:18
to Dogpile and you'll find it. Don't
22:20
worry about it. Speaking of Dogpile, this
22:23
historical evidence and stuff sucks. We
22:28
don't have anything really to go on. That
22:32
plantation, like others in Jamaica at the
22:34
time, it was worked by enslaved people
22:37
and the conditions were likely harsh because
22:40
people fucking sucked, they were own slaves. The
22:44
people who didn't
22:47
were also turd blossoms, so keep that in mind.
22:49
Yeah, so you got the people that own slaves or the
22:52
people that were just... Okay
22:54
with slaves. Yeah, exactly. Well...
22:58
Ah, it's better than me having to do it, right?
23:01
Now let's go die of scurvy. You know, or
23:03
some shit. I don't know. It was a different
23:05
time then. But
23:08
specific atrocities attributed to Annie, specifically,
23:11
specific ones are part of the
23:13
legend rather than recorded history. Yeah,
23:15
the killings and the abusings and
23:17
things that you're going to talk
23:19
about. It's a lot of detail.
23:21
They often say, and I don't want to
23:24
screw the pooch again, but when
23:26
you have a lot of
23:28
details, that's when something smells
23:32
fishy. Right, and so what we're
23:34
getting at is we're telling you this, we're breaking down the history
23:36
of it. None of the real...
23:39
Your takeaway is none of the real crappy
23:41
things are written anywhere other than...
23:43
Well, we'll find out where they came from. But
23:46
keep that in mind and don't let that
23:48
get in the way of a good story.
23:51
So to speak, but yes. Yes. Then
23:54
we move on to John Palmer, the
23:56
husband. He Shuffled
23:59
off his mortal... Wilson's Be Denier
24:01
Aids Mike that went on. It
24:04
sounded like a million died in eighteen Twenty seven. And
24:09
she's over. Do
24:11
as as ones will turret
24:13
A marked a turning point
24:15
and his life. Yes, some
24:17
accounts claim he died under
24:19
mysterious circumstances around again, ceiling
24:22
rumors of soundly he died.
24:24
That's right, By. Chicken.
24:28
How hundreds of historical records indicate that
24:30
he died of natural causes likely from
24:32
and ill now socket buzz kill man
24:35
that doesn't really fit in with a
24:37
story. So let's make it more dubious
24:39
and justice. mix it up. He.
24:41
Died of natural causes. If
24:44
you find voodoo mansour omaha
24:46
whole whole half hour. that's
24:49
the friends for. Our
24:53
at the gays and some friends.
24:55
Goose Hong sorry. For
24:59
what happens, what happens in Brunt Well
25:02
you know your mans that is time
25:04
to get more marriages because of that
25:06
time is that looked down upon being
25:09
a woman even if he were supernatural
25:11
Ned Powers from beyond the the either
25:13
as after John's that any remarried twice
25:15
more. Her. Second husband
25:18
George as as much
25:20
as If is George
25:22
S Ninety Nine under
25:24
unclear circumstances that's getting
25:27
a little more closer
25:29
and closer to nefarious.
25:32
That vulgar third husband which is
25:34
reportedly man named Robert Rutherford. Again,
25:36
there are. No.
25:39
Things that say that's not correct anyway. Yeah.
25:42
We're not a hundred percent on that being
25:45
set in stone. And. He die
25:47
because reasons. Affirms
25:49
and those reasons could have been sick
25:51
this or with for at. Least. three
25:56
degrees as undermine them with rumors of amy's harsh
25:58
treatment of and sleep and individuals on
26:00
the plantation. Boom. Her
26:03
reputation as a malevolent figure
26:05
in local folklore is sealed
26:07
or maybe not. Maybe someone just made that
26:09
up and then she died. And
26:12
spoiler. I
26:14
don't want to, I don't want to, you know, upset
26:16
you here, but there's
26:19
like a concrete evidence, uh, even around how
26:21
she died because, you know,
26:23
reasons and Jamaican, uh, they weren't the
26:25
best, you know, man, since
26:27
his takers get out of here. This
26:30
woman was already dead. Right. Um,
26:34
according to historical records, a record, she died in 1833,
26:36
likely from natural
26:39
causes. That's the official thing,
26:42
which is, you know, it sounds like big government just
26:44
keeping us away from the truth. There
26:46
is no evidence to support the popular
26:49
legend of her being murdered by a
26:51
vengeful slave or dying in any
26:54
supernatural manner. So therefore
26:56
that is exactly probably what fucking happened. You
27:00
know, um, I'm going to call
27:02
this one true. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. So
27:06
I know this wasn't the most fun. We wanted to just tell you
27:08
the truth of the matter
27:10
so far is they don't really
27:12
know a lot, but
27:15
there, there was a person and
27:18
she was married to a few people.
27:20
She came from places and she died
27:22
and you know, and that's the way
27:24
it goes. Uh, we're going to
27:26
get into the, the, the fun part, but
27:28
I wanted to, I wanted to
27:31
highlight, wait, wait, wait, we're not already
27:33
yet. This is, and then she begat
27:35
two sons and they begat two sons.
27:38
So despite this lack of concrete evidence
27:40
supporting the more lurid aspects of Annie's
27:42
story, Her legend is endured.
27:45
Uh, you know, the myth of the white witch
27:47
of Rose Hall, it persists in Jamaica. They
27:50
will talk to you about it ad nauseum. You know, they're,
27:52
you're checking in and they're like, Hey, you hear about that? White
27:54
bitch down the way. You know, they, they love to do
27:56
that. And it's in captured
27:58
or it's captured. the imagination
28:00
of writers, filmmakers, tourists, Johnny
28:03
Cash, lots of people. So
28:05
we want to do that quick dive into
28:07
the myth reality. So we can move
28:09
on to the crazy story or stories
28:12
that are spread about her. And that's
28:14
what's in store for all of us
28:16
after this break on Hysteria 51.

all the, the, the weird wacky, kooky
38:04
shit that they say has been done.
38:06
And they will go into a lot
38:08
of details about all the people that
38:10
she's murdered and killed the different, uh,
38:12
the different people on the plantation and
38:14
her husbands and how she did it.
38:17
Why the crazy legend? Do you think break
38:20
it down for us a little bit? I
38:22
mean, you know, not to poo
38:24
poo on a good ghost story.
38:26
All the best ghost stories involved.
38:28
Poo poo. Thank you very much.
38:30
So that's, yeah, that's the history
38:32
of 51 seal of approval. Uh,
38:35
our guarantee, but, uh, recent research has
38:38
cast a lot of doubt on that
38:40
old Anna Palmer legend, not any part,
38:42
Annie Parker, but any Palmer for sure.
38:44
No, I mean, maybe if you had
38:46
looked up Annie Parker, you would have
38:48
found some different stuff, but for
38:51
miss Palmer, uh, her
38:54
legend as the white witch of
38:56
Rose Hall was popularized
38:59
in the novel, the white word,
39:01
which of Rose Hall published in
39:03
1929 by Herbert G. Delisser.
39:09
Yeah. And the funny part about this
39:11
is this novel is it's
39:13
responsive for the modern narrative of, of,
39:15
of Annie and it bled
39:18
circle fact with fiction. And he
39:20
wrote it intended to be as entertainment,
39:22
not as an historical account, but people
39:24
took and went, that's what happened. That's
39:28
just fucking hilarious to me. Like before
39:30
that, it was really, wasn't a thing.
39:33
He writes this book and people go, did
39:35
you hear the truth? And,
39:38
uh, that's where it comes from.
39:40
It's happened several times. Named 17
39:42
others. You
39:46
know, isn't that crazy? Literally. And it's
39:49
verbatim out of it. If you read this book
39:51
of that's where the story, you know, she was
39:54
just kind of this, you know, I'm unfortunate she
39:56
lost her husbands and, you know,
39:58
and she probably wasn't there nearly as. long as
40:00
they say or husband, she had no
40:04
real claim to the place, probably was gone as
40:06
soon as her first husband passed,
40:08
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and then he
40:10
writes this book and all of a sudden
40:12
she's a shithole, and as they
40:14
do. That's wild.
40:17
I mean, I just thought of one, Dianetics.
40:22
That's from L. Ron Hubbard, not
40:24
from... And it was also like, anyway,
40:28
I don't know. I don't know how to get into that right now, but it
40:31
sounds Herbert G. Delicorous
40:34
to me. Well, it definitely influenced perceptions
40:36
of Andy Palmer. And then
40:38
you have all the tourism folklore. And
40:42
I don't blame them because it's become a significant
40:44
part of Jamaican, the
40:46
tourist attraction in that area. And like I
40:48
said, they've brought up many times when
40:51
you're in the resorts and stuff, they say, hey, you want to
40:53
do the tour? The tales
40:55
of her life... So they've embraced it. Yes, that's
40:57
exactly... And it's a way for
40:59
them to have something. To me, that's the smartest thing you can do.
41:02
Like why not get some tourist dollars?
41:05
You're already a tourist nation. So it becomes a cultural
41:07
narrative and a tourism thing
41:10
more than historical fact. Yeah.
41:13
But like I said before, the locals like to talk
41:15
about it, but I don't even know if
41:17
that's a bad thing because it's not
41:19
hurting her family per se, unless her
41:21
rest will fear it. I'd
41:24
still round. Hurry and let's say, well, I don't know. We don't
41:26
even know for sure where she's from and shit like that. Unless
41:31
her spirit can't rest until they finally
41:33
bring her her horse and stop
41:35
talking about her, but I don't know. You
41:38
guys like... Anyway. Well,
41:40
so this travel writer, I'm looking around this,
41:42
Polly Thomas, she talked
41:45
about the anti-Palmer legend
41:47
is partially based on the life of Rosa
41:49
Palmer. Rosa was the first mistress
41:52
at Rose Hall and had four husbands. She
41:54
had a reputation for great virtue and was
41:56
never suspected in the deaths of her
41:58
husband. that let's make some
42:01
shit up. Then you enter Annie, she comes
42:03
in and it just kind
42:05
of gets woven in together. Uh, many
42:07
believe that the real Annie Palmer did marry John
42:10
Rose Palmer in 1820, but when he died, he
42:12
died in debt. And
42:14
a few years later, Annie had no
42:17
legal right to the plantation. She had
42:19
to leave. And then she died in
42:21
relative obscurity. They believe in 1846, not
42:24
even the, the times when they
42:26
think that she died, meaning they
42:28
really don't know this woman's
42:32
story at all. Yeah. Did she die
42:34
in 1831? Did she die in 1846?
42:36
Did she have multiple husbands or was
42:38
that because of Rose
42:40
Palmer? Right. Um, that sounds
42:43
plausible to me. You know, that shit mixes
42:45
together. Yeah. Yeah. And,
42:47
uh, if you want
42:49
to hear more about it though, and not want to hear
42:51
us, there is a song, The Ballad of Annie Palmer by,
42:54
uh, that said Johnny Cash. He
42:57
actually owned the nearby Cinnamon Hill great house.
42:59
Uh, he owned property right by there and
43:01
was kind of, uh, enthralled
43:03
with the story so you can look up that stuff. There's
43:05
a lot of people that live in that area and
43:08
it's just a fun, it's a
43:10
fun story. But my question
43:12
for you is how do you look at it? Is this
43:15
a bad thing or a good thing? Let's say that, I
43:17
mean, we know where it came from a book
43:20
that was fiction. Is
43:22
that bad or are you okay with it? Oh,
43:26
it's, um,
43:28
okay. So I
43:31
think that them leaning into it is
43:33
smart for them. That's fine.
43:35
Right. Uh, it
43:39
would go too far if you had, I think
43:41
that she died, meaning they
43:43
really don't know this woman's
43:47
story at all. Yeah. Did she die in
43:49
1831? Did she die in 1846? Did she
43:51
have multiple husbands or was that because of
43:54
Rose Palmer?
43:56
Right. Um, that sounds plausible to me.
43:58
You know, that should mix it up. together yeah
44:00
yeah and
44:04
if you want to hear more about it though and not
44:06
want to hear us there is a song the bout of
44:08
Annie Palmer by that said
44:10
Johnny Cash he actually
44:12
owned the nearby Cinnamon Hill great house
44:14
he owned property right by there and
44:16
was kind of enthralled
44:19
with the story so you can look up that stuff there's
44:21
a lot of people live in that area and
44:23
it's just a fun it's a
44:26
fun story but my question
44:28
for you is how do you look at it is this
44:30
a bad thing or a good thing let's say that I
44:32
mean we know where it came from a book
44:35
that was fiction is
44:38
that bad or are you okay with it oh
44:41
it's okay
44:43
so I
44:46
think that them leaning into it is
44:48
smart for them that's fine
44:50
right it
44:54
would go too far if you had people
44:57
saying yes there are there are ghosts
44:59
and this ghost is dangerous and you
45:01
all have to act differently and be
45:03
scared and blah blah blah like that's
45:05
kind of fear-mongering mm-hmm on
45:07
the on the whole though like so I'm
45:10
questioning whether or not there was a
45:13
woman I mean you said there was an anti-palmer
45:18
but it sounds so like the anti-palmer
45:20
that is in this story is not
45:22
the real person that lived there no
45:25
it's just an amalgamation of it's an
45:27
amalgamation of all kinds of stuff and
45:29
in fact is mostly based on fiction
45:31
according to this guy's book and
45:34
and it does sound very suspicious
45:36
that the other plantation
45:38
owner had such similar you
45:40
know parallels so
45:43
the the fact that
45:45
it's kind of a tourist thing now and
45:48
this is basically a fictitious
45:50
character that people are I
45:54
guess you could say talking badly
45:56
about you know that she was
45:58
awful and practice magic
46:01
and blah, blah, blah, killed people. That's
46:04
not a real person. It doesn't sound like to
46:06
me. So to me, it
46:08
all is kind of okay.
46:11
Um, yeah, because the reality of it
46:13
is it's not actually based on this
46:15
one woman and we're, and it's
46:17
not actually, um, tearing
46:20
her life apart and making fun
46:22
of her. This
46:24
is, this is like, um, saying
46:26
there was a boy in, in
46:29
England who went to a magic
46:31
school, you know, and, um,
46:35
and there was, there just happened to be
46:37
a real Harry Potter that lived, you
46:39
know, in England somewhere. And people are like,
46:42
Oh, it was him. It's based on him.
46:44
No, it's, it's actually just complete fiction. I
46:47
don't know. There's, there's an analogy somewhere
46:49
that was very poorly made, but you know what
46:51
I'm saying? It's not a bad, yeah. It's, then
46:53
you get in and think, I just don't want
46:55
the, um, the slaves
46:57
and stuff to be overlooked. And if you
47:00
want to talk about place being haunted, uh,
47:02
probably is, but, you know,
47:04
if you believe in that stuff by the
47:06
horrible treatments of, of the
47:08
slaves and shit like that, not just the one
47:10
white person who lived there. That's
47:13
a good point too. You know, um, you
47:15
know, uh, you know,
47:17
but don't let that get in the way of a good story,
47:19
I guess, you know, is the way
47:22
it always goes. Yeah.
47:24
Yeah. It's, it's, it is
47:27
great for tourism, tourists, tourism,
47:30
I was making up words there, but.
47:32
Jamaica is like, that's their main, um,
47:34
what do you
47:36
call it? Money maker, right? Tourism. I
47:38
yeah. Yeah. So, uh, far
47:41
be it for me to poopoo on it. Yeah. Right.
47:44
It's a, it's crazy how
47:46
close these insert
47:49
whatever name, which is all have the same story.
47:53
Now, is that because which is all kind of run
47:55
of the mill and it's all true
47:58
or if they're made up and everyone shares the same. story
48:01
that they does it speak to the
48:03
strength of the story in the sense
48:05
that this is a this
48:07
is something that is pan-cultural and
48:10
everybody can it's great yeah you
48:12
know kind of like take something from
48:15
or appreciate in different ways you know yeah
48:17
that's another way to look at it absolutely
48:19
I'd like to know if you guys
48:21
have ever been there a to Jamaica and be given
48:24
to the tours or do you know anything are you
48:26
