THE WITCH

The Story
The WitchAn air of excitement hangs over Rose Hall, Annie has just married another husband. But he won't last long - much like the other husbands before him. The slaves are more concerned with trying to get their freedom. Led by the angry young slave Kalambe, he pushes his mother, Coobah to get headman to join them in their uprising.

Strange things are happening at Rosehall and everyone is afraid of Annie and her mystical black cat. Annie, however gets her comeuppance at the hands of the slaves and things at the Great House go back to a relative calm.
