This Girl Died 100 Years Ago, But She Still Looks Alive .... !!!

Rosalia Lombardo died on December 6, 1920, due to pneumonia. Rosalia’s father Mario Lombardo was sorely grieving on her sudden death. So he approached Alfredo Salafia, a well-respected embalmer in Sicily, he requested to preserve Rosalia’s body.













Almost a hundred years had passed, thanks to Salafia’s embalming techniques, the body is well-preserved even her internal organs are still intact. Poking above a blanket, her beautiful and peaceful face with a curly blond hair combined with a ribbon tied around her head makes her look like a 2-year-old girl taking a nap. But what makes her unique, creepy and hair-raising is that many believed that she still opens and closes her eyes many times especially during the day.

















According to experts, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation about this phenomenon. “It’s an optical illusion produced by the light that filters through the side windows, which during the day is subject to change. The mummy was moved slightly and shifted to a horizontal position in humidity-free glass. The new position makes it easier see Rosalia’s eyelids”. Also, Rosalia’s eyes are “not completely closed, and indeed they have never been.”
