Do you believe in ghosts, apparitions and metaphysical presences? If you don't, this photo is going to change your mind. Deceased Miss Honduras, María José Alvarado appeared in the middle of the Miss World competition, right at the moment when she was supposed to walk. As you know, her life and dreams were cut short when her sister's boyfriend, Plutarco Ruiz, killed them both in cold blood because he was jealous. The horrible crime of passion devastated an entire country and stunned the world.

Astrologist Mario Vannucci is convinced that her ghost is real because she died violently. When beautiful and pure spirits like Alvarado's leave this world before their purpose in life is completed, they often linger until they feel they are done, he says. The Miss World pageant was everything to her and she was very excited to represent her country. The image is shocking and it gave me goose bumps. I still can't believe she is gone!
The ghost was captured by photographers and appeared at the exact moment when she was supposed to walk. A technician from the control room of the network transmitting the event from London believes the ghost could be a fake, though. I don't know you, but I think it's real. My heart broke when I saw the image because she deserved to be there. Even if the ghost is not real, we needed to be reminded that her life ended and that there was a hole in the pageant. Sometimes we tend to move on and forget that a person disappeared forever.
The way she died was horrible and no one deserves such a tragic end. She was killed by the hands of someone she trusted and couldn't foresee what was going to happen that night. I still think about her mother every day because she lost her two babies that night. As a mom, you know her life is over. One day her daughter was on the top of the world and the next day she was dead.
