Red Lady of Huntingdon College, Ghost apparition in Huntingdon College, Montgomery, US.
The Red Lady of Huntingdon College is a ghost legend tied to Pratt Hall, a building on the campus of Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama. The building now houses the Department of Education and Psychology and has several floors with long corridors where sightings have been reported over the years.
The legend traces back to around 1854, when the college was still known as Tuskegee Women's College and students reported mysterious red lights in the dormitory hallways. Those accounts were passed down through generations and became a lasting part of the campus story.
The name comes from student reports of a woman in red dress seen moving through the halls. Today, the college community has embraced this figure as part of its identity and storytelling tradition.
Pratt Hall is accessible during regular college hours when offices and classrooms are in use. Daytime visits make it easy to walk through the corridors, but an evening visit gives a different feel to the long, dimly lit hallways.
College records mention two separate figures linked to the red apparition: one carrying a red parasol and another identified as Martha from New York. These differing accounts suggest the legend may involve more than one person.
