Christian Holy Visions, or signs?

Recently i learned of the story of my Nan having a holy vision of the virgin mother Mary, Mary came to my Nan when she was upset crying about her recently passed mother. I've also heard of a story from my mates dad, where he was going to work trying to catch a bus, and this poor women asked him for some money, but he only had a big bill on her, thinking if he should get change, or just give her the bill.. well turns out he gave her the bill she then thanked him and said "since you saved mylife i'll save yours" to busy to react he left running to the bus, turned out he missed it dealing with this women, he then went home to tell his boss that he missed the bus and won't be going to work, turns out his boss heard about that his bus actually crashed and everyone died who was on it, he then explained this to a Preist with his boss and his then mueslm boss converted as the preist beleved it was Mary mother of God, Strangly these 2 storys both happend in Egypt also what about the story? of Mary appearing at Bondi Beach in Australia? What are your thoughts, or do you have any storys?

1. demons can do many things....God doesnt need to appear like someone who is dead....thats satans handiwork usually.....im not buying it
2. The problem with religious visions is the fact that they happen to people of all religions, and the visions always fit with that persons particular religion. So these things aren't very convincing in that light, aside from the fact that visions aren't solid evidence.
3. Concocted, I believe. Or a coincidence.
4. why do you lift up Mary so? don't you know she is just a woman? she is not the mother of God, because then that would make her a god too which is wrong. so calling Mary "mother of God" is to lift up a human as a god.
5. deluded minds, mirages, imagination ... mary did NOT appear at Bondi !!! it was an unusual view of the alignment of a row of fence posts ... there is NO god ... our parents made us
6. I believe there are some truly amazing misunderstood things that happen. Are they a sign from above? Only God knows. I do believe these things happen and exist but at whose hand I do not know. I only know stories that I have read in a magazine called Angels. They are convincing and lives are truly changed. If you google you can find the magazine.
7. I think the stories are correct all the way cause I've heard many stories about that too, in this case ppl should read and understand that God sometimes send His messenger to somebody in order to save them from danger or sometimes to remind them that the God is still loves and cares to them. Hopefully for other ppl who are not believe in God could have the same experiences as above, so they might start to believe that God does exists.. Amen..
8. Some of your perspective is part truth while denying or not mentioning the importance of the resurrection of Christ. The vision or one we ought to have is one of souls, salvation to many(multitudes) These are the important for keeping the faith. We must confess Christ to those perishing and the world. The resurection power is one where we claim the victory Christ has and we repent of sin to publicslly confess Christ. Other dreams and visons are ones of seeing the future or asking like other saints of the old for thiongs to happen so we know God hears us. This can take fervant prayers too! "We ask so the door may be opened..". .
