Lucy Pretty Eagle occupies a prominent spot in the folklore of Carlisle Barracks and among the tombstones of the post cemetery. Her ghost is rumored to slam doors, rock the bed, turn pictures inward towards the wall, and tie the laces of tennis shoes together. Barbara Landis, who doesn’t believe in Lucy’s ghost, has worked to debunk the ghost mythology and shed light on the history of a Lakota girl who died too soon.
