Below is a 1924 newspaper account of clairvoyance:

Below is a 1914 newspaper account of a miraculous healing:
In the newspaper article here, we read of strange powers of Mrs. C. B. Jamay:
"Mrs. Jamay astonishes those about her by suddenly stating: some fact concerning their, health or their work which was known only to themselves. She is often consulted by physicians and surgeons, authorities in their professions, and gives a diagnosis with astonishing accuracy. Many remarkable cures are accredited to her, although she frankly disclaims any knowledge of medicine or surgery. She has several times given advice to inventors which is said to have enabled them to perfect mechanical devices, although she knows little of mechanics."
Later we read this:
"When a patient is brought before her Mrs. Jamay’s method is entirely different. While under the influence of this strange power she slowly passes her hand dose to the patient’s body, but without touching. When her hand is opposite the part affected her arm is suddenly thrown back, often with such force as to be painful. What is called the power of divination then visits Mrs. Jamay and her diagnosis is often amazingly accurate.
One of the leading physicians of New York city once brought his wife to Mrs. Jamay, who proceeded to pass her hands over the afflicted woman. Mrs. Jamay found nothing wrong for some time, when her hand was suddenly thrown back and she announced that an organ of the patient’s body had been removed and that-another organ was affected in a certain manner. The physician-husband of the patient confirmed Mrs. Jamay’s statement and stated that X-ray photo graphs proved every detail of-the diagnosis."
Later we read of Mrs. Jamay being tested for clairvoyance, with her passing the tests very well:
"Many of the tests made by psychologists in the attempt to analyze Mrs. Jamay’s mysterious power were highly technical. .The investigations were made with every possible attention to detail. Several professors were usually present in the laboratory with their wives. One held a stop-watch, another noted every detail in short hand, while several trained observers watched the results... One of the most striking of these tests consisted in throwing pictures from a stereopticon on Mrs. Jamay’s bared breast. Mrs. Jamay, although completely blindfolded, was able to state the nature of the pictures five out of six times with absolute accuracy and without a second’s hesitation."
We then read this anecdotal account of Mrs. Jamay's clairvoyance:
"This power of second sight, or whatever term may be used to describe it, has proved marvellously successful in locating several people who have been lost. One of these cases was that of a son who quarreled with his father and ran away. The father made every effort to discover his son, but without success. Mrs. Jamay happened to hear of (he case, and was able to announce that the young man was in a town in Canada and lived near an important railroad centre. She announced that it was unnecessary to look further since the son would write to his father on a certain date which was then near. The letter was received on the exact date as foretold."
Below is a very weird newspaper account of it raining for hours only at the spot of two poplar tress, even though the sky above was clear.
I myself have seen some dramatic types of paranormal-seeming phenomena which seemed to have a recurring "Pa" motif. Such phenomena may involve panels (as discussed here and here) or both a panel and pasta (as discussed here).
There are many reports of deathbed visions, discussed in my series of posts here. But the report below is the only one I have read of a deathbed manifestation consisting of an inexplicable artwork appearing on the deathbed pillow of someone who died. The artwork reportedly depicted angels and clouds.

The newspaper account below tells of a healing of a sick daughter that seemed to come from an apparition, the apparition of the daughter's deceased mother:
VISITS SICK DAUGHTER
Watchers Who See Apparition
Say Girl Immediately Began
to Recover.
WILMINGTON, Del., April 14.—What
they believe was a supernatural manifestation in the room of their daughter, Maude, who has been critically ill for
several days, has profoundly affected
Mr. and Mrs. William Robinson, of
Eighth and Buttonwood streets.
The manifestation was a shadowy
form that looked like an angel with out
stretched wings upon the wall directly
over the head of the child. The parents
of the girl have been unable to find a natural explanation for the appearance of the figure, which they watched for
some time during the early hours."
Many an Apparition Is Seen by More Than One
Still More Apparitions Seen by Multiple Observers
