Who is "Lucy" at The Stanley Hotel?

From Medium.com:

[Lucy is the] ghost of a young girl named Lucy that haunts the concert hall and its basement. She usually actively communicates with staffs, ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts via flashlights. Her life history and connection to Stanley hotel remain unclear to date but the hotel employees surely like Lucy’s presence as they claim that they feel like some positive energy is lingering around.

Lucy is known to close doors and make lollipops move in your hand, as well.
