The “Red Lady”, a female shape in a smoky red mist, appears at the top and bottom of the grand staircase. This specter is believed to be Mrs. Wilhelmina Clarins, second wife and widow of Major Henry Clarins, the man who built the mansion. She was fond of red clothing and the last time anyone ever saw her was as she was descending the stairs to go for a walk. She was never seen or heard from again.
