Annie Palmer came to the Island in about 1820 as the wife of sugar plantation owner John Palmer. Far from being a kind and generous woman Annie is portrayed as evil incarnate. It is said that she killed all three of her husbands in mysterious methods. She also had numerous slave lovers from whom she learned the arts of voodoo and black magic. Most strange of all is that all of her lovers simply disappeared.

Her voodoo practices included torture and child sacrifices. When she herself was found dead in her room the slaves built a special tomb to prevent her spirit from ever rising, but the ritual was not completed and now it is said that Annie walks the halls at night.
