Huntingdon College's Red Lady may have moved with the school. The tradition began on the college's original Tuskegee campus, where the upper floors of the dormitories — a stretch students called Sky Alley — were said to be haunted by a female figure in red. When the college relocated to Montgomery and built the Julia A. Pratt residence hall in 1912, the legend, per the guide's telling, relocated with it to the third floor.
The legend itself is the standard college ghost: a young woman arrived from New York, remained out of place and aloof among her Southern classmates, and — shunned and depressed — is said to have taken her own life in her room.

FILED AS LEGEND
In the telling, the student favored red in life, and her lonely spirit still favors it — reported drifting Pratt Hall's corridors in the color she wore.
The file's caution is explicit: the suicide that anchors the story is not verified biography, and the apparition is a documented legend — a story with real longevity on campus and no confirmed person beneath it.
