SANGER, Calif. (KFSN) -- A holy sighting at a liquor shop? Some people say they have seen the image of the Virgin Mary appear outside Johnny Liquor store in Sanger. Those believers claim to see the outline of the Virgin on the side of the store but some say the image is nocturnal.

"Word is they see the image of the Virgin Mary, however only at night," said Santiago Aguilar in a video he posted on YouTube. Santiago took nighttime video of the wall where you can see what appears to be an oval shape reflection coming from the light post. But is it an image of the Virgin Mary?

"I didn't seem to see anything just about a bright, shining light. It could have been from the camera or the light that's just above the wall," said Melissa of Sanger.

But Catholics we showed the video to say the so-called "appearance" is somewhat miraculous. "She's trying to tell us something, she's trying to tell us 'believe in me' because something is coming," said Mona Sanchez.

"The part that I thought I saw was from her rope, that was right here, and the rest turned into like black," said Gloria Perez-Gomez.

And the Valley is no Stranger to holy apparitions. In 2005, dozens of people flocked to Merced to witness what many say was the image of the Virgin Mary on the side of a tree. And although this "appearance" hasn't received that much attention, it has received coverage in the town newspaper.

"I don't think it's anything, but I don't know. People tell us, so many, I believe it maybe later," said Bob Randhawa, the liquor store owner.

Randhawa has no idea why the Virgin Mary would appear on the side of his store but he's not complaining

Blue eyes, huh? Who knew?

Was she also sneaking in the back door rather then using the front door?

Pope Pius XII, in calling attention to the apparitions, referred to the nineteenth century as the "century of Marian predilection [i.e., preference]."

I guess Pope Pius XII wasn't familiar with CCC 2111. ;o)

Proverbs ch 23

29
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

32
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
