Ghost Story Chapter Book

Read in the late 1970's in grade school, New England, Mid-Autumn.
I had found it high on a high shelf in the dark and seldom-visited section of the schools basement library.
At checkout I remember the librarian looking concerned and asking me "Are you sure you want to read this?"
It had a plain hardbound cloth cover, possibly blue, possibly with a stylized lamp.
It didn't have illustrations, or so few I don't remember them.
It had something to do with 'Red', possibly a red room, and I think the 'red' was possibly related to blood.
The protagonist was a young boy, and one of the characters I think was a ghost, as a twist.
It scared me half out of my wits, and have completely blocked having read it until this week.

It isn't 'The Red Room' by H.G. Wells, nor is it 'The Red Room Riddle' by Scott Corbett.
Happy Autumnal Equinox, and thanks for any help!
