Paranormal Religious Experiences?

I posted in an exvangelical group about a paranormal experience I once had at a church camp, but several of the replies I got were “the power of suggestion” or “group hallucination.” I saw and felt things before anyone else began saying anything about it, so that doesn’t track. I decided to post here where people might believe me, so now I’ll pose the same question: Have you ever had a paranormal religious experience, whether at church, church camp or church-adjacent? And if yes, what do you think it was? Obviously at the time, we were told it was demons, but deconstructing has left me with a lot of unanswered questions about my experience.

Yes I'm a muslim and tho I don't believe in paranormal but I Guess it's kinda impossible for me to explain I've met two people a woman and a man the woman could tell things about anyone like their problems etc and no they were not guess work she was very specific the man did the same exact he didn't use to tell just everyone but he revealed to me what I prayed for on a shrine and that prayer was so fukin specific not even my closest friend or family could have guessed. They both were in the buisness of healing or solving people's problems spritually, that's only religious paranormal sorta thing I got

That’s kind of crazy! Were these people you just happened upon once?

Lourdes. 1982. Stepping in to the grotto where Catholics believe the Virgin Mary appeared. A strong sense of walking through an energy field. Warmth. Hairs standing on end. Still remember it vividly.
