Fort Sill Old Post Quadrangle

Fort Sill, founded in 1869 as an Army post on the southern plains, is still an active Army installation. Its Old Post Quadrangle of stone buildings is a National Historic Landmark and holds the Fort Sill museum. Robert Hiatt's 1989 book The Ghosts of Fort Sill collected about twenty accounts from people who lived and worked there, including a childlike spirit that played pranks and gossiping voices that vanished when someone looked for them. The best-documented case, retold by the Army, was in 1980 and 1981 in the former Cavalry Post Hospital, where computer-room workers heard footsteps and voices above them and requested to move to day shifts. Fort Sill is also a place of deep importance to the Apache, Comanche and Kiowa people.
