I think that Spencer's vision of Ali at Radley wasn't real - she said that she hadn't slept in three days and after Wren showed up, there was no sign Ali had been there at all (the music stopped, etc.) Something did strike me that Ali said though - she told Spencer that she must've left that record she liked at the Hastings house, and then she said, "I left a lot of things there."

I think that's supposed to imply that Ali may have left her diaries hidden in the house for Spencer to read after all, or other clues. And when she said "You never really knew me," I think it's just because that's how Spencer feels about her now.

That being said, I think Ali appears to the girls in the form of their subconscious to remind them of things they already know deep down. She's never really told any of the girls anything specific and is always really cryptic. It seems more like the Liars are just projecting the info they already know from Alison's perspective when they "see" her.

Also, a lot of people are saying that the change in Ali's facial expression was because she was "playing" Mrs. Hastings when they hugged, but I think it was Ali just pulling herself back together. It was like she let herself be vunerable for a moment, and then realized her mistake and flashed back to tough Alison.
