The White Witch of Rose Hall Horrifying History

    • Society & Culture

The idea that the dead can remain earthbound started in the most ancient times, and has appeared in countless tales since then. It has spawned its own folklore genre - ghost stories. But in these tales, not all ghosts are good and pure. Some are malevolent, and want to harm. It is these stories that are told generation after generation, which brings us to one of my favourite ghosts stories that I read about as a child.
