It's interesting to me to read about miracles or other supernatural incidents. One of my favorites is a book called "Possessed" which tells the true story of a boy who was possessed by the demons. It took a whole group of Jesuit priests to exorcise him.
Funny though, how you only accept miracle claims, as being true, when they stem from your religion. Yet, you don't when they stem from other religions.
Smacks of intellectual dishonesty, when the evidence you accept for Catholic miracle claims, is of the same type of evidence for miracle claims from other religions, that you do not accept.
for example, here are websites with stories of Jinn (Muslim spirit beings) possession. They are based on 'true stories'. There are many more 'true stories' of Jinn possession. Do you believe them?

They're the only ones I am familiar with and learned about in school, etc. But I wouldnt be opposed to the notion of God performing miracles for people of other faiths as well.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
