Before the chandelier crashed into the empty seats of the Kimo Theater, it had rocked back and forth several times. The movement had been enough for the people rehearsing for the opera, Carmen, to clear the area. As everyone stared at the splintered wood and broken glass, a chorus member said, it's a phantom of the opera here in Albuquerque. A purple mist, a raspy voice, and black flowers indicated a spook was on the loose, but Monica Walters, a cast member of the opera, couldn't find the sprightly spirit.

Did the ghost murder the man or did a flesh and blood person do the deed? The resolution surprised everyone.
