Not OP, but I can identify with what's described in that post.
I don't have any experiences I would call "verifiably paranormal", but I've had a few I've not been able to fully account for to my own satisfaction from a purely materialist perspective (despite a total collapse of my childhood evangelical Christian beliefs).
One was sudden, total cessation of a destructive habit I'd struggled to stop for decades, after a single prayer I hadn't realized was related to that struggle ("Make me more like You"), a very unexpected turn of improbable events immediately following the prayer, and an intense spiritual experience following the unexpected events.
I have devised pure materialist accountings for it, but they aren't rigorous and haven't persuaded me.
