The Red Lady is a ghost said to haunt Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama, identified as the spirit of a former student named Martha who died tragically on the fourth floor of Pratt Hall. Legend describes her as a lonely young woman obsessed with the color red, who committed suicide after feeling abandoned by her college friends and roommates. Her apparition is often described as a red-glowing figure in a red dress, occasionally seen wandering the halls, entering rooms, or causing cold spots and unexplained noises. The Legend of Martha: A Sorrowful Beginning: Martha, a student from New York, was known for her love of the color red and her isolated, melancholy nature. After struggling to make friends and feeling abandoned by a roommate, Martha died by suicide in her room. Her room was found decorated in red, and she was dressed in a red robe. The ghost is known as the Red Lady due to a scarlet glow that emanates from her room on the anniversary of her death. Students have reported seeing her flash down the hall in a red dress, feeling cold drafts, and hearing unexplained noises. Her sightings are most often linked to Pratt Hall, where she lived and died. The legend of the Red Lady has been passed down through generations of students and remains a well-known story at the college. Unlike some frightening ghosts, the Red Lady is sometimes viewed as a spirit to sympathize with, a tragic figure whose story is a part of the college's lore.
