Open research question
Determine whether any documented Fort Warren Lady in Black account predates Edward Rowe Snow's 1946 publication, and identify the earliest source naming the apparition Melanie Lanier.
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
