The claims

Boden Allen and Buford — A Ranch Dog Walks a Toddler Home (2025)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

A two-year-old who wandered from his home near Seligman, Arizona, on the evening of April 14, 2025, spent about 16 hours alone in high-desert country where searchers later noted two mountain lions, then turned up nearly seven miles away at a rancher's gate with the family's livestock-guardian dog, Buford, standing beside him; the boy was found with minor cuts and mild dehydration, and the dog's behavior fits exactly what its breed is raised to do.

Jonah Handler and Nicholas Balboa — A Voice in the Surfside Rubble (2021)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When Champlain Towers South collapsed in Surfside, Florida, at 1:22 a.m. on June 24, 2021, a man from Arizona walking his dog heard a teenager screaming from the debris pile, climbed it in flip-flops, and flagged rescuers who pulled 15-year-old Jonah Handler out alive; 98 people died in the collapse, including Jonah's mother, Stacie Fang, and the contingency that put a passerby within earshot is the whole of the providence claim here.

Sascha Roth and the Trial Where Every Tumor Vanished (2022)

Sascha Roth, the first patient in a Memorial Sloan Kettering trial of the immunotherapy drug dostarlimab, was packing for radiation when her doctor called to say there was no cancer left to treat; every one of the 12 patients with a specific genetic subtype of rectal cancer reached a complete clinical response, a result one investigator called the first of its kind in the history of cancer — and the mechanism behind it is fully understood, which is exactly why the case belongs here.

Baby Lily Groesbeck — The 'Help Me' Voice at the Spanish Fork River (2015)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Chris Gunderson — 16 Years of Feeding-Tube Dependence Resolved After Prayer (2011)

Gardell Martin — 101 Minutes Without a Pulse, Full Recovery (2015)

A 22-month-old Pennsylvania boy swept into a 34-degree stream was pulseless through 101 minutes of continuous CPR, then recovered almost completely — a documented outcome physicians attribute to protective hypothermia.

Gen. Eric Smith — Cardiac Arrest, and a CPR Instructor on the Right Block (2023)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Jahi McMath — A Family's Challenge to the Definition of Brain Death (2013–2018)

Declared brain-dead at 13 after catastrophic bleeding following airway surgery in Oakland, Jahi McMath was kept on support by her family in New Jersey for four and a half years — long enough for a senior neurologist to conclude she no longer met the criteria under which she had been declared dead — before dying of liver failure in 2018, in a case that has become the sharpest stress test the legal definition of brain death has ever received.

Jeni Stepien — Walked Down the Aisle by Her Father's Heart (2016)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

When Jeni Stepien's father died in 2006, his donated heart went to a New Jersey man who had spent years on the transplant list; ten years later, that man traveled to Pittsburgh to walk her down the aisle — and the evening before the wedding, she felt her father's heartbeat for the first time in a decade.

John Smith — Heart Restarted After 15 Minutes Under a Frozen Lake (2015)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

A 14-year-old submerged in an icy Missouri lake for over 15 minutes had no pulse for roughly 45 minutes of CPR; his heart restarted moments after his mother prayed aloud over him, and he recovered with normal brain function within weeks.

Katie Lentz and the 'Angel Priest' of Highway 19 — Resolved (2013)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

A 19-year-old trapped in a crushed car, her vital signs dropping, asked rescuers to pray aloud; a priest appeared on a blocked rural highway, anointed her, and vanished — absent from every scene photograph — and a week of angel speculation ended when Fr. Patrick Dowling identified himself, having simply parked up the road after a Sunday Mass.

Nurse Vilma Wong and Dr. Brandon Seminatore — The Preemie Who Came Back as Her Colleague (2018)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

Sha'Kyra Aughtry and Joey White — Heard Above the Blizzard (2022)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

During Buffalo's deadly Christmas 2022 blizzard, Sha'Kyra Aughtry heard a man screaming over hurricane-force wind, had her boyfriend carry the severely frostbitten stranger inside, and kept him alive for two days while 911 could not reach them — a rescue his family calls an answered prayer.

Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster — The Intact Body of Gower, Missouri (2019–2023)

Four years after burying their 95-year-old foundress unembalmed in a simple wooden coffin, the Benedictines of Mary exhumed Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster in April 2023 and found her body and habit largely intact; the diocese's commissioned pathology team called the condition 'highly atypical' for the interval and conditions, forensic anthropologists answered that natural mummification in coffin burials is well documented, and the Church itself has declared no miracle and opened no cause.

The Lahaina 'Miracle House' — The Red Roof That Survived, Explained (2023)

Naturally possible — was the timing more than coincidence?

In the photograph that came to stand for the Lahaina fire — block after block burned to white ash — one red-roofed wooden house stood untouched; its owners, who had recently replaced the asphalt roof with commercial-grade metal and ringed the foundation with river stones, met the 'miracle' label with survivor's guilt and a documented fire-science mechanism, and turned the house into a base for rebuilding the street.

Ann O'Neill — Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Remission (1952)
