Usage Note
Aparecer is a -cer verb with a spelling change in the first-person present: aparezco. It implies coming into view or existence rather than seeming (for 'to seem/appear', use parecer). The reflexive aparecerse is used for ghosts or divine visions: se le apareció la Virgen ('the Virgin appeared to him/her').
