THE RED LADY OF HUNTINGTON

June 3, 2019 by Moni 38 Comments

This is one of my favorite horror myths. In the early 20th century, a young woman named Martha started college at the Woman’s College of Alabama, complying with her fathers’ will. Martha’s favorite color was red, and she decorated every surface of her dorm room in Pratt Hall in the crimson shade. Because she didn’t make friends easily, Martha lived alone on campus, and she was very unhappy. She retreated to her room, living in isolation, and only left her bed in the middle of the night. One evening, after failing to attend classes and dinner, Martha was found lying on the floor in her room, dead. To this day, generations of Huntingdon students have claimed to have witnessed Martha’s ghost – the Red Lady – roaming around the halls at night, emitting a strange, red glow.

I know this is short but next time I will be back with short horror stories. As for now, I would love to know your thoughts on this.

So, see you soon again. Till then, Stay Blessed, Take Care

    I’ve read about different kinds of ghost story, never encountered this one. Well, here in my country, these kind of stories are actually real.

      I am a fan of ghost stories. I find it mysterious and interesting. Maybe it is so because in our culture we believe they are real. Cool post!!

      Never heard this story. I do not do ghosts. I definitely believe in them, so I’d do my best to steer clear.

    It was an interesting but scary campus story. If I am one of the students living in that campus I would never allow myself to be alone when I am going outside of my room. LOL!

    I’ve heard so many stories like this, especially about colleges that are found in New England states. I’ve often heard that many of the universities and colleges were built where psychiatric hospitals used to be. This story is especially creepy!

    This is a bit terrifying to think that her ghost still roams the halls of that college. Curious what others have to say about this story.

    I found this to be such a sad story more than horror, except that I will have to look into what some of the sightings were like. I had not heard of this one before though. Thank you for sharing!
