Hey wildcat, that's cool. If the virgin Mary appears, you just know it's her, tantamount, one supposes, to Mohammed's meeting the angel Gabriel.
The immaculate conception is actually a reference to Mary's mom, who was conceived without sin.
One time when I was saying my rosary in a dither, she asked me - 'Why do you concern yourself with these treatises of man?'
An encouragement towards greater detachment, one imagines.
I just had a freaky cool thing happen. I was looking for my rosary, which I had misplaced last night - and I got overly upset about it then. So I was looking for my rosary, which I thought I'd misplaced again, and was about to get all upset - when a St Jude medallion dropped out of thin air at my feet on the carpet.
Course, I'd been rummaging around on the bookcase and it might have flown off without my noticing touching it, but I did remember where I'd put my rosary right after.
What fun. Can't go wrong with St Jude. But you'd think St Anthony would have had a hand in that one.

This is what interests me about your post. These pictures you've seen of the Virgin Mary are just that, pictures from the imaginations of humans. How would any one know what clothes the Virgin Mary wore unless we had a photograph or an actual painting of her from a sitting she did for an artist, neither of these things exist.

Pictures?
What color was she? White, Black...
She was only a "virgin" for a while she had other children to Joseph.
She also died some time ago and will be waiting a resurrection.
Why would anyone appear?

If something is appearing to people in the guise of making them think they're seeing Mary, I'd bet almost anything it's a demonic entity.

I don't think there's anything in Christianity to support even the possibility of the "Virgin" Mary appearing to anyone.
I put virgin in quotes since it's clear she had children the normal way after Jesus, despite whatever BS the RCC spews.

well come on madness,
its one thing to say you think you saw something for a second, and its entirely another to say you think you saw something that was male or female, had this amount of hair, this type of clothes, sitting in this position, with their hands together like this, etc etc.
